Description:
The Sandborn have witnessed their land ravaged by ecological disasters and descend from survivors of the first pandemic of the blood disease known as the Crimson Rush. This history of survival against overwhelming odds is a source of pride and resilience for the Sandborn, shaping their identity and their view of the world. They are reclusive and no longer trust outsiders as a result of the actions of the mages of years past. Despite their jaded nature, they are instances of Sandborn helping lost travelers in need.
