The Sea of Sands

The Sea of Sands is home to many groups of people, most notable the cities of Cacot and Oasis. While vast, the desert that these groups call home is a harsh one, the loose sands make permanent settlements difficult to maintain, and nearly impossible to farm in.

However, several nomadic tribes have called the territory home for millennia, these groups travel by cover of night using the stars to guide their path, while they offer little to trade their expertise as guides in the area is sought by many seeking to travel the Sea of Sands. Each tribe is lead by an Stargazer, a druid who has gained enlightenment through their study of the celestial bodies in the night sky. They are peaceful people unless provoked, their fighters are skilled when trained, but have been called barbaric by some.

The Cities of Cacot and Oasis have formed a defensive pact as well, each supplying troops to the many fortresses guarding the borders of the territory, for while the land is harsh, the trade ports are advantageously placed, allowing traders from neighboring lands to pedal their wares freely and often times in spite of their warring monarchs. This has lead to rumors of the land being a smugglers haven with no regard to the laws of higher societies.
