Arqadian
The desert dwellers of Arqadin have thrived for untold millenia in an environment that most would consider inhospitable at best. There are few cities in Arqadin, and most Arqadians live a nomadic existence. They have developed a culture which places value in the family unit and then the tribe above all else, with great stock put into the social constructs that allow Arqadian tribes to share the desert peacefully with each other. Honor, and a man or woman's word, are the ultimate currency in Arqadin. Rather than allow themselves to be ground down by the relentless desert, most Arqadians are gregarious and passionate people, full of wit and pathos, who live life to the fullest. A vehement argument with an Arqadian may result in drawn swords, but an Arqadin oath of loyalty is unbreakable, and Arqadians will gladly lay down their lives for friends and family alike.
Arqadians tend to make excellent rogues, bards, and rangers.
