Introduction

The Galihi are a nomadic people of the Zanarak Desert, known for their mastery of alchemy, illusions, and survival in the ever-changing dunes. With floating skiff caravans and terrarium-based oases, they navigate the desert’s challenges, guided by spiritual wisdom and ancient knowledge of nascent spirits.

Biology and Physical Traits

The Galih are distinct in appearance, owing to their daily application of Suncoat, a special alchemical alloy that protects them from the desert’s extreme conditions. Galih society is built upon movement, adaptation, and knowledge. Their caravans are mobile cities, and each member of society plays a crucial role.
