North of Kahlahra and Rashnad lie the dunes of Najjir – a stretch of desert, scrublands and oases extending to the long sea. Najjir is not a country but a language and culture shared among multiple sovereign domains and city-states throughout the region.
Najjir is a region, bounded by Kahlara in the south, Taraja in the east, and the vast ocean to the north. Its heart is the smoldering Fareedah desert and its periphery is full of burgeoning life. Most Najjira civilization is situated in a broad ring around the Fareedah, encrusted around the life-giving rivers, streams and oases in an ocean of drifting sand.
Najjir is a relic. Many centuries ago, it was spanned by the mighty Amas’kyaa empire. The capital city laid at the heart of what was once a valley of life but is now the wasteland that is Fareedah. A magical cataclysm involving a giant rift in the sky once swallowed the enormous center of civilization in a matter of hours. The rest of the empire crumbled shortly afterwards. Thousands of ruins and fragments remain scattered throughout the land.
Najjir is a language shared by all ethnic groups that live there, a poetic tongue that arose from centuries of trade and cultural diffusion among the northern deserts. The modern alphabetic Najjira came to replace the glyphic Amas’kyaan language that once dominated the region. Dialects vary all throughout the land but the Qarsythian sheikh, the Buhuchan poppy farmer and the Emshi wanderer can all understand each other.
Najjir is a culture. Though we come from different cities and ethnic groups, the brown people of the desert share an identity that is unknown to the light-skinned dwellers of the Occident. Najjir’s cultural bias towards mercantilism and scholarly pursuits is renowned throughout the continent.
