itself over eight centuries ago. The statue is of a tall, proud
bearded man named Salranda Kinle. He founded Auslam many years ago
be uniting warring clans in the area and made the people there
feared and respected in the Gloridon Desert and beyond.
The eyes of the 20' tall statue are rubies of the purest cut. They
look to the east toward the rising sun. They cannot be removed, and
anyone who tries disappears instantly to parts unknown. The clans of

Located at the southern tip of Vulture Peak, this community of
sheiks and traders numbers over 1,200. Tothesi is a place of great
trade among the various Gloridon tribes, as well as outsiders from
the west, particularly Havalla and Rorus.
In the Tothesi society, there is a great emphasis on bartering,
since coin iis not always in ready supply. Slavery is strictly
forbidden by the Tothesi, as it is with all tribes of the desert.
Women are considered secondary to men, who often maintain several
wives as a sign of power and virility.
With resources in the desert at a premium, theft is punishable by
death.
Camel Races
Although camel races are an important part of desert tribal life in
Gloridon, none are as grand as those held each solstice by the
Tothesi. Jockeys from near and far come to participate in a contest
known for its spectacular brutality. The prize: a small silver flask
of rare spice called Anaux that can fetch as much as 10,000 gold due
to its ability to increase a man's sexual robustness by as much as
three times.
