Tehir

The Tehir are the various tribes of nomadic people that dwell in the Sea of Fire. Usually human, they have adapted to the harsh conditions of the desert, usually migrating from oasis to oasis. They are known to herd goats and yierkas.

Traditions

Tehir males are known to wear veils over their noses and mouth to show that they have reached adulthood. Men also usually possess tattoos around the eyes and on the arms. Women, however, do not usually wear the veils and customarily have tattoos on their faces and necks. In place of the veils, they will wear a head-scarf to signify marrage.

History

The tribes used to fight each other over the various oases or herds prior to the discovery of the copper mines. The tribes, when defeating another tribe, would often take the survivors and enslave them. However, this practice has died out in many of the Tehir tribes.
