-=== Nomadic Life and Caravans ===
-Galihi travel in large, sprawling caravans, engineered to survive the desert’s shifting terrain.
-* Floating Skiff Caravans – Hovering above the sands through wind harnessing and alchemical levitation.
-* Terrarium Caravans – Portable oases carrying micro-ecosystems to sustain life.
-|Notable Settlements=* [[Mirajhar]] – The shifting city of the [[Gilaari]], often visited by Galihi as a spiritual and trade hub.
-* The Whispering Dunes – A region where the wind carries the voices of spirits.
-* The Glass Flats – A land of crystallized sand, sacred to the Galihi.
 |Origins and Nature=The Galih trace their lineage to [[Sethis]], the [[Ancestral Spirit]] of Mirages, who was born from the merging of [[Arenam]], the Spirit of Sand and Glass, and [[Veyatha]], the [[Primordial Spirit]] of Illusion. As children of mirages, they embody motion, perception, and the wisdom of shifting truths. The Galih emerged as masters of adaptation, evolving to survive in the harsh desert landscape.
