Desert RP Rules

The sand marched. After countless struggles and clashes with the Amazons and Nords, Ra prevailed. Vegetation decayed, snow melted. The Deserts, driven by their all seeing god Ra managed to utterly destroy the Amazons and even pushed back the sturdy Nords into the sea from were they came.
The sand marched. Wherever they went, Deserts left a trail of magnificent monuments and temples, streets, homes and statues. But soon after the successful outcome of the first great clash of nations, Ra became bored. He knew the other nations are still alive and well and even found a new place to settle. He would not allow for any Culture to become more glorious then the Desert and its children, so he gathered forth the most devoted of his flock to follow the other nations to the new lands, to conquer and destroy them, to build more monuments dedicated to him and to convert more of the world to Desert.
The sand marches again.

The deserts or desert people make their homes within the barren sand desert for generations now. Although they forgot where their came from or what their real name is a long time ago, they still remember their undying love for Ra, mighty God of the Sun and paragon to the deserts. They can survive in houses made entirely of sand and even build monumental structures with it. They hope to honor Ra one day with their ultimate building: The Sphinx
