>> the red, dusty land has little to off
er to those unused to the rocky mesa
and desert terrain. however, the tribe
tends to reside in underground tunnel
s: originally left behind by large sand
stone badgers, the walls and ceiling o
f the tunnels are covered in sand with
the help of the windborne, and then t
he sunborne melt the glass to create g
lass, cooled by the windborne. becaus
e the tribe is quite nomadic, this even
t happens fairly regularly, as needed .
what isn't earth or dust tends to be sm
all shrubs, cacti, and other low foliage

>> the wild ROC birds usually align wit
h the air element; they are uncommon
enough to be considered an omen by s
ome, but common enough to be feared
. the PHOENIX birds always align with f
ire, and they are quite common; ash p
its can be found frequently, as can the
charred remains of other creatures. m
ost skinwalkers are solitary wanderers
, but VENGEFUL SKINWALKERS are kno
wn to attack and raid without much re
ason. they are very dangerous. someti
mes, a WALKING CACTUS can fight bac
k to defend its roots, which the tribe s
eeks for its believed medicinal propert
ies (the healing properties are myths).
the walking cacti can be of any eleme
nt. other predators include COYOTES
, SERPENTS, LESSER RAPTORS, venom
ous CRABS, and other seemingly ordin
ary desert flora and fauna with eleme
ntal abilities, very much like the tribe

>> they call themselves the TRIBE OF THE BURNING SUN, but when refer
encing one another, they are called THE SANDSTRUCK. individually, cats
may be WINDBORNE [air elemental], WATERBORNE [water elemental], G
RASSBORN [nature elemental], or SUNBORNE [fire elemental], but togeth
er they are the sandstruck. the elementborne by the cat decides the cat'
s future role in the tribe: the waterborne are vital for the clan's survival,
providing water in any way they can; the windborne excel in stealth, tun
nel-clearing, and scouting; the grassborne are the defenders and the arc
hitectural enforcers with their skill in root-growth; and those borne by th
e sun are best at offense, tunnel-cleansing, and leadership ( culturally ) .
besides their elemental types, the sandstruck also sort themselves into a
hierarchy : the GRAND SEER [leader], the STRIKERS [mages], the SEEKE
RS [apprentices], the NIGHTWALKER [herbalist], the NIGHTSEEKER [her
balist apprentice], the SEERS [elders], and the LIFEBRINGERS [queens] .

with the desert's unyielding forces, most sandstruck tend to be on the ligh
ter side, both in colour and in weight. their builds are lean at best, and sk
eletal at worst especially during the LONGNAUGHTS [winter]. their pelts t
end to be shorter, and colours typically range from a dusty grey to a brigh
t ginger, with colours like cinnamon, cream, russet, and occasionally dark
brown. cats with black or white fur can be seen as a bad omen, and are u
sually treated as incarnations of past traitors to the sandstruck. these cat
s are watched carefully and considered untrustworthy regardless of origin.
