The proud, dark Xerins are a race descended from the ancient rulers of the desert. Their knowledge of magic and the crafting of magical artifacts has been lost to the drifting desert sands, and their people are scattered, wandering the land in nomadic tribes or bandit groups. A gypsy people, the Xerins spend much of their time telling stories over the strum of a guitar, a skin of spiced wine in hand. Their one permanent camp is located in the Red Hills, and it is here that they practice the only remembered skill of the ancient Xerin civilization -- the breeding of horses. These Horses of Kings are sought after by each of the other races, and are highly valued among merchants, warriors and nobles alike.
