The Roshani

A hardy people

This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.
  One of the oldest mixed ethnicities on the planet, the Roshani have been a cohesive culture for over two thousand years. They are native to the country of Roshan on the continent of Viretia, surviving a hostile combination of tornadoes and some of the hottest temperatures in the world. The culture is comprised of humans, shapeshifters, and dragons, though they are so intermingled that the majority of the Roshani have ancestors from all three species. Roshani culture and religion is rich and vibrant, a mixture of a large number of disparate groups that came together to heighten their chances of survival.   Roshani architecture is unique in that their buildings and settlements are almost entirely located underground. It has taken centuries of magical and technological innovation - and a lot of disasters - to get to where they are today.

I love that they have such a long history of intermingling. I wonder if they have stories of hybrid children manifesting traits from multiple lineages - the kind of thing that isn't supposed to happen, but might under very rare circumstances.

I definitely think they would have myths relating to that.

It would be nice to hear more about the magical and technological achievements and the catastrophes that led to them.

Stay imaginative and discover Blue's Worlds, Elaqitan & Naharin.
