Maighib Desertfolk

The historical range of the Desertfolk includes almost all of the Maighib, which nearly crosses the entire breadth of Libynos. They are the deep desert tribes of Khartous, Guurzan, Khemit, and Qesh, as well as the people of Numeda. While most Desertfolk still live nomadic lives, about one-third of the general population of Guurzan and many in Caddesh are descended from the Desertfolk.
Their skin tones are mostly rich bronze in color, darker than a typical Ashurian, with eyes that are usually dark brown or black. Their hair is black or very dark brown. Men tend to grow beards easily from the teen years. They are typically slightly taller than Ashurians or Khemitites, Numedans being the tallest of the group. Though there are many differences between the different tribes that make up the Desertfolk, they all tend to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing suited to a nomadic desert life.
The Desertfolk originally spoke a group of related languages, with enough diversity that distant tribes would not be able to understand one another. Many, particularly those far from cities, continue to speak dialects of these varied tongues. Other Desertfolk have, to one extent or another, adopted, or at least have some passing familiarity with, Semuric or Khemitian.
Except for trading in the towns of Guurzan, Khartous, or Khemit, most Desertfolk seldom wander far from their ancient nomadic lands. Numedans travel a bit more widely, but even they are rarely seen outside the areas of the Sea of Baal or the Ruby Sea, unless they have been hired as mercenaries.
