-|Introduction=The '''Gilaari''' are the native inhabitants of [[Mirajhar]], the ever-moving city of the [[Zanarak Desert]]. Believed to be the descendants of [[Arenam]], the Spirit of Sand and Glass, and [[Veyatha]], the Spirit of Illusion, the Gilaari embody adaptation, foresight, and craftsmanship. Their survival depends on interpreting the shifting patterns of the desert and their city alike, blending spiritual reverence with practical ingenuity.

 |Culture and Society=<noautolinks>{{See also|Culture and Society of the Gilaari}}</noautolinks>
 Gilaari culture is built around harmony with Mirajhar's motion. Community roles reflect functions tied to prediction, movement, and adaptation.
 |Notable Settlements=* [[Mirajhar]] – The city of illusion and motion, capital of the Gilaari.
-|Spirituality and Beliefs=The Gilaari believe Mirajhar is alive—its patterns are omens, and its rearrangements are intentional. Some sacred sites emerge only seasonally or cyclically, and their study forms the basis of spiritual doctrine.
+|Relations with Other Races=* [[Galihi]] – Allied in spirit and trade, often exchanging materials and rituals.
 |Abilities and [[Osia]]=The Gilaari do not universally practice Osia, but many revere [[Arenam]]’s influence and attune to desert spirits. Their unique perception makes them natural illusionists, and some Gilaari navigate through geomantic currents or light-bending mirage fields as a spiritual discipline.
 |Origins and Nature=The Gilaari are quadrupedal reptilian sophants with adaptations that reflect their desert environment.
