Originally an Island of terror, Sebua is a domain of the Amber Wastes[7][2], ruled by Tiyet.[7] It is a harsh desert land. Hidden beneath and within the ruins, sandy dunes, and desolate rocky flats lies the wealth and secrets of a lost Bronze Age civilization resembling that of Har'Akir, though the only living Sebuan native people of any numbers are children that live in Stone Age living conditions. These "wild children" dwell within the ruined city of Anhalla. Oases in the wastelands are surprisingly not uncommon, though pollution or hidden dangers often befoul them. Although the land bears natural resources, the Pharazian nomads that travel through Sebua to reach the neighboring domain of Har'Akir do not for the most part linger long to exploit them, for Sebua is considered a vile and unholy land.[9][6]

Language & Culture

The ancient ruins of Sebua strongly implies Sebua had a cultural connection to Har'Akir, and Akiri is the language written upon the tombs and other old monuments of the land. However, the only native living Sebuan culture is that of the Stone Age wild children whom never seem to grow older. The reclusive wild children speak their own language known to the Pharazian nomads as Wildspeak.[5][6]

Gods and Religions

The Sebuan wild children do not recognize any deities save for the general desert itself, which they see through the general lens of a stern and punitive mother figure. Though there are no organized religions in this domain, druids and rangers are among the recommended character classes for Sebuan player characters,[5][6] suggesting that the Sebuan wild children's belief in nature may grant divine powers to some of their number.
