Ammurun Amirahates

Geography:

Spread across The Duneshift Desert, the Ammurun Amirahates thrive in the largest and driest inhabited desert area in Zentrum. The Duneshift serves as the earthen crossroads connecting three continents, making it a strategic location for trade caravans and the movement of goods. The Ammurun people, known as Catfolk, have carved a niche for themselves as skilled traders and movers of goods, utilizing the desert's harsh terrain to their advantage.
