Bhadarukians
"Wanderlust," Zos said simply.
"Oh..." Shanku said.
"You too?" Zos asked.
"Sadly," Shanku said and pulled her wings around her.
"Don't be ashamed," Zos said and put a hand on her shoulder. "When my clan first came to the desert, they found his people. It worked out very well for them both."
"His clan needed sustenance and my tribe was under attack from local brigands," Junaid explained. "At the time, we were just simple shepherds who followed our flocks, mostly chased from settlement to settlement by the raiders. In exchange for water and shelter from the sun, the Long Ears protected us and our flocks from raiders and predators. Since then, we were able to settle in a good grassland on the edge of the great desert. Our flocks flourished and so did we. We became reknowned as elite warriors, and the Long Ears were able to raise magnificent horses and camels."

Bhadarukians
Been a while, hasn't it? Time for a little more info about this world. This is an exploration story.
Bhadarukia does have rolling grass to accompany the shifting sand, but only when water is nearby.
That breed of goat is a Nubian. They are milk goats probably reknowned the most for their long, floppy bunny ears. Give them pine to nibble on and they have the best smelling breath of any animal I've ever met.
The desert Plains Kurach are cliff dwellers. What, with mercenaries, raiders, sandstorms, and all, it's much safer to sleep in a cave that's high off the ground. This also provides a great position to attack from should a gang of thieves aim for the town below.
