Saffremi

The Saffremi are a large group of people who reside primarily in the deserts and plains of Wirrshol. Saffremi people also live in Western Galyria, Southern Gahlal, Northern Illhana, and parts of Cleonia. There are some also some small areas in Southern Illhana which are majority Saffremi - these are a remnant of the more cosmopolitan Malokian Empire. The Saffremi were first defined in The Ironhorn Accounts, which named them as one of the five Erothian Expressions. Saffremi stand around six feet tall. They often have entirely black or white eyes, and their hair is thick and curly.and They are able to withstand extreme heat and drought very well.

The epicenter of Saffremi culture is the desert region of Redwind [Wirrshol.] Most Saffremi are nomadicl, though the city of Ironhorn has been inhabited for thousands of years, and has religious and cultural significance to all Saffremi, sedentary or nomadic. A notable aspect of Saffremi culture is the their distinctive helmets, which leave only a slit for the wearer to see out of. A semi-transparent cloth is pulled tightly over the helmet, and on the cloth, a Saffremi warrior paints an account of his ancestry, religion, and accomplishments in a complex traditional language of symbols.

The Ironhorn Accounts

Culture
Saffremi are the dominant people in Wirrshol, and their capital, Ironhold, is a powerful city-fortress which is only rivaled by Galehold and Lavakirr in its' size and significance.

Occasionally, a Saffremi is known to live up to three hundred years. In the last two hundred or so years of the life of one of these Dusthorns, they undergo major changes in demeanor and appearance. They almost always become much less communicative, speaking only occasionally of matters of great importance to them, and often spending the last century of their life in silence. They also begin to lose muscle mass and according to some accounts, even shrink. They are considered to be important leaders or messengers in Saffremi culture.
