"I sing the song of smoke
By chene'mer I see
Vismithia holds no fears
For one who feeds on dreams"

~Naquiin, Sultan's Advisor to Sou Altroi
Excerpt from his poetic opus "Long Crawls the Night."

Ter'ays holds the tenuous position between the heart of the Western Continent and the homeland of Demons, the Badlands. Made up of the Sultanate, tenacious city-states, and desert nomads, Ter'ays is a hot, arid, often unforgiving place where only the stoutest constitutions and the strongest wills survive. Despite this, they offer much sought-after luxuries, like silks, spices, fortune tellers, and artisan glass.

 

The people of Ter'ays are angular, tough, and stubborn. Their nation is still largely patriarchal, with the rights and freedoms of its women reliant upon the nature of the ruling sultan. With their proximity to the Demons, faith in various forms is widely practised by Ter'ays from all walks of life. The Ter'ays racial Gift enables mind over matter, enabling them to shape both the sands around them and the dreamscapes through which they intentionally stride in dreaming. These Gifts may support their cultural adoption of mind speech, which transcends languages and distance to sustain communication.
