Key Makers
The Key Makers are a small group of otherworldly, nomadic beings that move with the shifting Black Sands. As their name suggests, the Key Makers make keys. From magical keys for ancient, alien locks hiding millennia of secrets to the key you lost for your front door. Importantly, the key itself is not necessarily important but what’s behind the door it opens.
Dressed in red robes and adorned with head ornaments denoting their role within the camp they are lead by a Grand Umsiki. When a new leader is chosen from within the group the appointed increases dramatically in size along with new decorative head ornaments.
Those who come into contact with the key makers would not be a coincidence, to search them out is impossible but if you are destined to meet them, then it will be. Those who have found themselves in their company often tell of being lost in a sandstorm and waking up in their camp on the Black Sands.
The Black Sands is a constantly shifting area of dunes that moves around the much larger desert it is part of, this movement coincides with large sandstorms that frequent the huge expanse. The sand itself is different to that of the larger desert it is part of, a deep black colour and a firmer texture, almost as if it is damp, holding teal veins of a metallic substance running through it. It is believed that the key makers use the sand and this metallic substance to forge their keys.
