The marshes and swamps in Merochas are home to several tribes of semi-nomadic Hssuga known as the Hsytha. In the far southeast of Karatas lies a desert region which is home to another Hssuga culture, older than even the ancient Aezjarean empire. And in the jungles of Tnubci, the savage human tribes fear the Shub’sah Lords, who rule much of that land from their mountain citadels.
