Alshamal Aasimar

The Alshamal are a people isolated from much of Terras. They have, for millenia, sat within the Jalidiun Mountains, safe from their neighbors. Unlike the Valdovai to the South and the Luǵeto to the East, the Alshamal are a settled people without the migratory tendencies of their Aasimar brethren.

The Alshamal have sat in fear of the eventual expansion of the Qiyn Empire into their lands. They give tribute to the empire, hoping that it will stave off attack, but many fear that it may not remain enough.

The Alshamal struggle with being a liminal people. At the edge of Oboris, the Jalidiun Mountains, Qiyn, and what it means to Aasimar, their people feel unwelcome anywhere in the world. However, there are select few Alshamal who receive the blessings of their tribe and wander out into the world.

The Alshamal dont believe, but instead know that the Cimmerian Threat is the Qiyn Empire, which has been spoken of in their folklore for centuries.
