Darfari
Though Darfar must certainly be regarded as one of the northern Black Kingdoms, its inhabitants are similar both physically and culturally to the Southern Islanders and tribes of the southern Black Kingdoms. The Darfaris prefer bludgeons as weaponry but are otherwise extremely similar to the Southern Islanders. They are distinctive for their extremely kinky hair.
Culture: The Darfaris file their teeth. Whether this is as ornament or to aid in their cannibalism is unknown. They are savage bandits and murderers for the most part and their entire society is driven by an obsession with their evil religion.
Religion: Most Darfaris belong to a highly unpleasant cannibal cult. It is uncertain which god they revere; there is some suggestion that it might be the desert god, Yog, the Lord of the Empty Abodes, which would fit with the idea that Darfar is similar to modern Darfur in that it is comprised predominantly of plateaus and deserts.
Names: It seems likely that Howard based the name Darfari on Darfur, currently a part of Sudan, so non-Arabic Darfurian and Nubian names are probably best for Darfari names. Suggestions: (male) Adzete, Dahab, Nubu, Nunu, Oteku, Solon; (female) Ate, Dede, Tele, Tete, Terte.
