	''At the Center of our land, As much as any can guess, lies Amenai, the jewel of the desert. Its a truly grand city, stretching across many miles, and beautiful to look at. The glass roofed towers can be seen from a hundred miles away, and the Monument of Logr is a true marvel. It stands two hundred feet tall, covered with runs, and from its wide base the greatest river in the world flows. Thats what makes Amenai so great, among the desert cities. Its infinite water source. Rumour has it that the merfolk have their own city beneath the monument, in a vast sea beneath the sand.'' - From the Accounts of the Wanderer		''At the Center of our land, As much as any can guess, lies Amenai, the jewel of the desert.

	A wandering race that lives in the plains that stretch around the edge of the desert. They have a deep natural connection to the Source of Magic, and wander those ethereal planes just as they do the material world. Their mystical connection is just as strong with the dark runes as it is with the common ones, and they take no sides in the struggle between them - something they consider part of nature's balance. The Centaurs don't use magic as the other races do, but rather consider it a companion on their travels which comes and goes as it wishes.

	The Hillfolk are rarely seen. They are a diminutive and physically frail race that rely on their crafting to bind magic. Their heritage of craft-magic is strong, but not fully understood - as long as ritual is kept, however, things will keep working. They have a strong reliance on magical technology and advanced golems (that have led to folk-tales of Trolls) doing their work for them. They have traded some of their secret magic with the Mosvar, who pay respect to the wishes of the Hillfolk. Through this exchange, the Mosvar have built a strong base of technology that has allowed them to develop high standards of living as well as a strong military to expand their realms.

	Despite the fact that to approach the gates of Ordii without sanction from its silent guardians means death, the city is still considered the greatest in the world. Even the glass spires on Amenai can't stand up to the might of Ordii's obsidian towers.

	== The Others ==		== The Others ==
			The Things of the Forests are mischievous and uncaring towards humans. Their motivations are alien and impossible to discern, and few proper facts are known of them other than that they have some sort of sense of territory or independence. They are shapeshifters, and with a thought they can become as one with the leaves, rocks, water and moss that surrounds them, leading to many conflicting accounts from those that have survived their games. In the Yaropan nations, the closeness to the forests is deeply felt in the manipulations of the Others - some say that the fractioned nature of those nations is due to the games the Things play, and that a whisper from the woods can drive brother against brother.

	== Shifters ==		== Shifters ==
	The reptilian race known as the Shifters dwells in the Amenai Desert, and has done so for as long back as records stretch. The origin of their name has been disputed, but one main reason is the way they sway from side to side when idle - like some species of snake. Another reason is the way their eyes tend to wander and how their thin, forked tongue flutters, giving rise to the term ''shifty'' or ''shifter's eyes.'' What most people don't know is that the Shifters are masters of a very subtle for of Bodyform magic, and their eyes and tongue are used to draw runes - an art they often use to get an advantage in business transactions.
