Turan

The Turan are a semi-nomadic peoples that hailed from the Grand Desert, and share common ancestry with the Tajir. Its believed that during the reign of the Shezarkai Kingdom, they were displaced and sent far to the south, having to cross the entirety of the Grand Desert with little assistance. They would suffer on this great journey, and while many gave up hope as they reached the Khoyna Mountains, they would witness a strange occurrence as the sky would erupt in fire. Soon after, the sun would grow dark and so the Turan would quickly run into the mountains for shelter, finding a strange advanced spaceship that crashed there. The ship would keep them safe and soon after the sun came back, the Turan would emerge safe and sound. While they prefer a nomadic way of life, they prefer to stay close by the ship, for its strange wonders sometimes bring highly powerful technological wonders when prayed too.
