- | ====== Sakhara / Sakar ====== | ||
- | |||
- | Items that are common in Sakhara / Sakar, that are less common, or unknown, in other parts of the world. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Clothing ===== | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== Daily Food and Lodgings ===== | ||
- | |||
- | **Koumiss**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Meals**: These vary according to price and type, with more expensive meals emphasizing variety and freshness. A good evening meal may consist of rice heaped high with fresh mutton, figs, dates, and olives pulled from the tree, finished with honey-candies. A more common evening meal (in a town or city) would be a simple ragout or meat stew, with bread, and fruit. A poor evening meal consists of just rice, perhaps with dates, dried fruit, a bit of tripe, or a strip of dried meat. | ||
- | |||
- | **Sherbet**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Wine, Heart of Wine**: A potent brew. Heart of Wine is a wine that has been aged in the desert heat or in mountain snows until the water has evaporated or frozen, leaving a more powerful substance behind. Like all alcoholic or fermented beverages, Heart of Wine is forbidden in moralist areas. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Animals ===== | ||
- | |||
- | <color # | ||
- | |||
- | **Camels**: These cantankerous beasts are subject to the same quality variables as horses, as listed under “Quality of Equipment” in Chapter 6 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide. (Owners gain the same benefits for camels of high quality, and suffer the same penalties for those of poor quality.) A white camel is considered a sign of good fortune, and as such may fetch 2 to 5 times its listed price. | ||
- | |||
- | Desert camels and mountain camels share the same game statistics as noted in the Monstrous Compendium. However, mountain camels have smaller feet, and while they are more sure-footed in hilly terrain, they are not very useful in the desert. | ||
- | |||
- | No type of camel is suitable for riding into combat unless it has been trained as a war camel. (Even then, it is a stubborn, uncomfortable mount.) Further, a camel that is designated for breeding is not usually used as a beast of burden. | ||
- | |||
- | **Horses**: The larger and heavier breeds of horse found in less civilized lands are not suited to Zakhara. Their size causes them to overheat quickly, and most do not survive. As a result, the “mounted knight” from foreign lands is doubly damned, both for his own heavy armor and his straining mount are a hindrance in the Land of Fate. The lighter and more nimble breeds of horse are common as Zakharan mounts, and only rarely do they serve as pack animals (they are too valuable for such work). In the most savage and parched deserts of Zakhara, horses are impractical. | ||
- | |||
- | **Monkeys**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Pigeons**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Songbirds**: | ||
- | |||
- | **Storks**: The stork is a symbol of good fortune to the city peoples, who admire the bird’s fidelity, apparent honesty, and willingness to let lesser birds nest beside it for protection. Storks purchased in a bazaar are raised for sale, and never slain. | ||
