Bakluni (bah-k-LOO-nee)

Descendants of the human inhabitants of the ancient Baklunish Empire, the Baklunish of today are confined chiefly to the northwest Flanaess, in that region known as the Baklunish Basin and other nearby regions, including Zeif, Ekbir, Tusmit, Ull, Ket, the Dry Steppes, the Plains of the Paynims, the Tiger Nomads, and the Wolf Nomads. While the Baklunish of the northern regions are a nomadic people, this group is best known for its southern population, who built the great Baklunish Empire on what is now the Dry Steppes. The Empire fell in its war with the Suloise Empire to the south, ending with the Twin Cataclysms which sent refugees of both empires fleeing east into the Flanaess.
