Nomads of the Shifting Sands

From AmtWiki
  • Any Archer worth his salt can find work as a caravan or fortress guard.
  • Assassins work is never in short supply in lands rife with intrigue and ubterfuge. The caliphates are not immune to the dark dealings that would call for such a slayer to enter polite society.
  • Anti-Paladins, Paladins and Warriors: These heavily armored warriors could be seen more as Crusaders that have entered into the lands of the desert people.
  • Bards: Musicians and storytellers abound in the desert societies. The most famous storyteller of all is Scheherazade who told the One Thousand and One Nights stories.
  • Druids are usually seen as worshipers of the Earth and many become Sand Shamans. Every now and again though, one can be found tending an oasis or the royal garden of a wealthy sultan.
  • Healers come from many different walks of life, from the humble physician to the servants of mighty gods. Many healers can be found plying their trade as Oasis Protectors, setting themselves up to preserve the truce surrounding their chosen watering holes.
  • Monks are less militant and more scholarly in the desert climates, but there is no shortage of death-cults and serpent-worshiping religions with monks acting as shock-troops and temple guards.
  • Scouts are an easy fit within this world since there is always a need for the nomadic guides of the desert wastelands. The people living in the remote places must learn survival techniques and Scout personifies that.
  • Wizards are both respected and feared in desert cultures - and many a sultan has lost his kingdom to the sinister depredations of a wicked, wizardly vizier.
