Culture and Locations
Scarcun people live in a bordered region mostly in the White Desert of western Remdor. They are ruled by a tulan in a chiefdom system. Their main religion is Scarcun Animism, which teaches that all things are alive and have a spirit and equal worth. They are generally seen as hospitable people, and to turn away those in need -- even strangers -- is seen as a rejection of life itself. Their capital is Keitosh, where the tulan lives.
Scarcun is mostly dry grassland with some arid shrubland to the west. The Moutais flows through both its cities and out to the west, joining up with the Whitewater. The Mautava Highlands lie to the south. It is landlocked.
