Editing Southlands (section)

===Native Southlanders===
It's stated that there actually are dark-skinned humans living here as well (NOT the [[Pygmies (Warhammer Fantasy)|Pygmies]], those PR nightmares live in Lustria).

The Southlanders who live along the border of Araby were influenced by Arabyan culture, and they also intermarried with Arabyans. Aside from these, much of their cultures were unknown, but presumably primitive due to their isolation. It could be extrapolated that the Apemen of The Southlands are the result of random births (as well as their own breeding) from amongst the villages of the Southlands, much the same as expecting mothers in the Empire have to fear giving birth to Gors and Ungors.

Considering that they lived near the Lizardmen, perhaps they would had built their own cultures and kingdoms too. Alas, as with Araby, GW was more focused on the more popular factions, so this was left to the realm of [[homebrew]].

It could be possible that the [https://www.warhammer-community.com/2018/06/01/roll-models-no-001-familiar-battlefield/#comictop darker-skinned characters] in [[Age of Sigmar]] might be descendants of surviving Southlanders who were revived along with the other humans in the Mortal Realms.
