| After the receding of the Rezzatan Empire, Kashalad broke up into many states and tribes who had little interest in reunification. This all changed a few centuries ago, however, when a tiefling named Aaliyah, known as the Daughter of Lightning, took control of the Kashaladi tribe, famed for its horsemanship. She claimed to be the daughter of Kresh, and she seemed to wield the storm as her supposed father did. With a combination of genius strategy and overwhelming magical abilities, she united the region again and claimed the Kashaladi Empire. Her descendants have kept a grip on power ever since, making the worship of Kresh the state religion. | After the receding of the Rezzatan Empire, its far eastern territories broke up into many states and tribes who had little interest in reunification.

They possess not only the foresight and wisdom to plan ahead, but the determination and perseverence to see their plans through. They tend to have skin ranging from light to dark brown, and most have dark smooth hair. Beards are near-universal among men capable of growing them, although the inability to grow a beard is not seen as shameful, and it is generally considered to be clean-shaven rather than to sport patchy facial hair. |
