IntroductionWikitext
A Sunshifter applying Sunskin

The society of Sunshifters is built upon devotion to their oracles and the creation of music, art and dance. Sunshifters travel in large, sprawling caravans, engineered to survive the desert’s shifting terrain. They are known for their distinctive silver appearance, a result of the sun protection they wear at all times.

A Sunshifter oracle

Sunshifters hold onto a fairly rigid social structure as a result of their survival in a difficult land. At the top are the Oracles. Elder women who foresee the future and guide their caravans and society at large. Below them are master artisans followed by apprentice artisans. Every aspect of Sunshifter society is considered an artform, from art itself to cooking to raising children.

The Galih follow the path of Sethis, this spirit of Inspiration who made their home in the Glass Fields of Zanarak Desert. Oracles, who are Oasari, communicate with Sethis and recieve inspiration in the form of visions.

Sunshifter music mimics the rhythms of the wind and sand:

  • Flutes – Crafted from hollow desert reeds, mimicking the sound of shifting dunes.
  • Drums – Made of vibrating metal plates, producing deep, rolling beats like distant thunder.
  • Wind Chimes – Made of hollow glass, producing light airy sounds.
