The Etta
People of the burning desert
This article is a stub. Please comment if you would like it to become a priority for expansion.
The Etta are a group of humans who live in the Burning Flats, a desert that spans across the countries of Ethis and Abror. They have vast and intricate knowledge of the environment in which they live, which allows them to survive in what is objectively one of the harshest deserts on Etrea.
The Etta have a mutually beneficial relationship with a raptor species known as the fire hawk, which they train for hunting.
The Etta make a golden tea, known as auro, which is considered sacred to them. It is made of the blooms of the egg cactus, which blooms only once every few years.
I’m intrigued by the Etta; I’d like to know more about them and the environment they are living in. Are they nomadic, or do they have longstanding communities in the rare oasis? (Or both?)
They are primarily nomadic, but there are definitely a rare few permanent communities near water sources. The nomads settle for a month or so when they come across these places in their travels.
