Bronze skinned, the ~~men~~ of the Infinite desert were on the cusp of exiting the Bronze Age{{Timescale}}. They had advanced mathematics, though not as advanced as the [[Khoursir|Hazar]], and were the best stonemasons in the world. Their cities, made of stone, were extremely complex, dominated by pyramids and obelisks, and elaborate geometric design. When asked by outsiders why they built their cities along such mathematically precise designs, they answered enigmatically "to reach eternity."

Their magic derives from their study of the heavens, upon which they had mapped a detailed and elaborate map of constellations. Theirs were the most advanced star-maps in the world. They divided the sky into 9 Houses, each dominated by a major constellation. These had a significant effect on a person over the course of their life, depending on when they were born.
