The ancients exiled them to the Barren Island for the crime of exterminating the Voiceless.The Rasul people of Nadzhamal are generally believed to be violent monsters, mostly due to their ferocious appearance.

As soon as children are weaned, their care is entrusted to the father so that the mother may focus on her studies. Men are expected to be patient, cunning, and empathic, while women are ideally intelligent, fierce, and outspoken.
