Zakharan Lore

[AsuraKing]

So since Im somewhat interested in making a Zakharan character I've been attempting to dig up as much lore on the region as possible. I figure there may be some others attempting to do the same, so figured I'd share what seems to be a neat website. I'm not sure how much Sundren's lore will vary from what this website has (I believe it's another RP community) but it is set in FR so I imagine the parts about culture and stuff are good to look at.

I had a zakharan necromancer once who was forced by propriety to observe the traditions of hospitality when anyone came to his door. Setting out a feast on the embalming table; Don't forget the salt!

I got a little bit of lore for the Zakharan's living in Aquor when I played Chime who was an Ambassador for House Pendrag. It is just a little less than a paragraph but I though I would add it to the mix. I am not sure that it helps at all but it came from DM BAMF.



Al-Badia- they are nomadic with especially deeply ingrained traditions about family and blood feuds. They aare the ones that keep pressuring Felicia to kick the Aurilites in the gonads. None of Felicia Pendrag's retainers are Al-Badia but many of the Soldiers are and all of the former pirates that Felicia co-opted to join her on her quest to get back to Sundren are.

Al-Hadhar- they are settlement based. They are all either crafters, merchants, artisan or guards/mamluks once employed by the Sultana. They have a similar set of traditions but are more devoted to personal honor and following the path of enlightenment. (Bassim (War advisor and I believe the second in command) and Cali’Ganesh (Diplomat and respected advisor) are both Al-Hadhar. They were on Felicia's council if I remember right.)
