Hello all,

I'm currently constructing my characters back story, she's a Highlander Hyur, and I'm trying to build an Ala Mhigo child refugee back story for her. I was going to have her and her mother join up with possible dessert nomads, but other than Lizard Men, I'm having a hard time finding mention of any. Does anyone know if any exist outside of the Lizard Men?

Thanks!

The Dunesfolk were desert nomads, I'm not sure if its clear if there are others.  The Keepers of the Sun are also desert dwellers but they're not really nomads... and seem rather closed off to outsiders.

Of course, Little Ala Mhigo is a desert settlement itself.

Because so many Highlander refugees overcrowd the streets of Ul'dah, I think it'd be perfectly feasible some of them would try their luck out in the sands, in nomadic fashion.

I'm sure there are some, for example there are also miqo'te tribes that travel the desert, and various caravans.

The sagolii is large and shifting, It wouldn't be too odd for wanderers to call it their home.

Yeah that was my initial thought too, I just wanted to see if there were any specific groups. Didn't want to stumble over lore if there was some in place for such people.

There are a lot of settled Seeker tribes in the Sagolii, but that doesn't discount the idea of nomadic tribes, nor does it discount the idea that they might take in someone they found out in the desert. A lot of them, as Aya mentioned, aren't terribly accepting of outsiders, but I think there's room to say that your character and her mother might have found some.

How did it take that long for that to get corrected? ^_^;

"Um.. Keepers? Seekers? Um.. I can never tell the difference!"  A long standing problem as C'kayah knows :-D
