People & Places: Djaffa (Talislanta)

Born to the saddle and the deserts of Djaffa, the Djaffar are nomads in the truest sense of the word. Building no structures of stone or wood, they live their whole lives under the sky or the folds of their tents. Life in the sands of Djaffa is not easy, but for centuries the Djaffar have endured and prospered. Now they travel to far distant lands to trade, masters of the deserts that once almost destroyed them. The Djaffar are common in many civilized lands, carrying goods far and wide in pursuit of commerce, always recognizable by their leather masks which are never removed in public.
