Haradjiaa, the eastern desert of Harnendor, is the domain of desert tribesmen known as the Haradjinn. These fierce tribes are descendants of Southmaren and Rochir explorers who traveled east through the Red Waste and took up the Alu desert ways to survive in the inhospitable red sands.
These fierce men of the desert wear the robes and headcloths of the Alu, albeit each tribe has its own distinctive style and patterns. Aside from their prowess in desert survival, the Haradjinn are skilled swordsmen and renowned riders of both horse and camel, with the tribes who trace their roots most strongly back to the Rochir claiming to be the most talented riders and breeders of mounts.
The Haradjinn typically worship a number of aquatic gods, such as Kraken and Suul, and often prophesy that water will return to their parched lands. Seashells and other gifts of the sea found in lands are treated as omens or preserved as tokens of luck or holy relics. The Haradjinn are also often knowledgeable about Baal artifacts and ruins, and many tribes pass down Baal items of power relinquished by the desert.
At least one Haradjinn tribe, the suul'Arakjinn, is known to dwell in the western desert of Harnendor, the Rochir Plains. However, the Rochir will warn travelers that the suul'Arakjiin do not greet trespassers in their lands warmly, and often travelers never return.
