[[Category:Races]]

* '''Physical Description:''' Slender and dark skinned, with brown or black hair and narrow brown eyes. Many bear deep scars and burns from working on airships.
* '''Personality:''' Cocky and self-interested, inserting themselves into conflicts for coin and glory. They are a sky-faring culture who revere personal pride and freedom. Their culture centers on the ability to pilot and maintain airships, often engaging in races or dogfights with rivals to avoid shame and shunning.
* '''Lands:''' Kah-Sahm, a frigid, forested region with plains and steep cliffs. They build their settlements into cliffs, mining dwellings and hangars deep into the earth for defense. They also operate numerous pirate enclaves across Arden.
* '''Relations:''' Frequently at odds with the Miwu Empire, whom they fend off through air superiority and ambush tactics. They maintain a healthy distance from the Ukaghi Drachmari, who occasionally raid their western border. The Odani Dwarves are obsessed with Sahmi technology, and the two cultures trade regularly.
* '''Alignment:''' True Neutral.
* '''Religion:''' Follow Sankta, a hybrid of Ferrosian saint-hood and animist faith, with a core tenet of ancestor worship. They take pilgrimages to the resting places of kin and airships to commune with ancestors.
* '''Language:''' Speak Anukwa, but adopt the Odani and Miwu tongues for trade
