1)    Himba

A nation which lives in the desert by tribes. It strongly reveres traditions and family values. Himba people do not like to travel, so they live in a tight-knit society on their own territory. On these lands there is a deficit of water, so Himbas use it only to drink. They wash with otjize, a mix of red clay and oils from local flowers. They venerate immortal trees, sacred wells - in general, everything that has something to do with water. The Himba have an important cultural omen, the Night Masquerade, a sign of significant change.

2)    Meduse 

Meduse are fantastic blue translucent creatures with tentacles which are similar to jellyfish. The Meduse move like water. They had no eyes, but they had scent receptors on the tips of their tentacles, thus Meduse saw things through the smell. There is no water on their planet, but they worship water as a god, as their ancestors came from water long ago. Subsequently, a strong conflict broke out between Khoush and Meduse and they are constantly at war with each other. “Humans must be killed before they kill us” is their motto for life.

3)    Khoush 

The Khoush were settled on the most water-soaked lands on Earth, a planet made mostly of water, and they saw the Meduse as inferior. They have no respect for the Himba people, and consider them something like a slave nation. Khoush are also the ancient enemies of Meduse. They use Himba technology, but are oblivious to it. Khoush have a strong air fleet, so they behave in a dominant way in relation to other civilizations.

4)    Enyi Zinariya (The Desert People)

Himba people think that the Desert People are inferior and uncivilized nation. However, it is an ancient African demos that possess rare knowledge and use effective technologies which were inherited from aliens. In particular, astrolabe and edan remained Binti from Enyi Zinariya. The Enyi Zinariya live in a vast network of caves in a huge limestone cliff. Within the bowels of these waves were winding staircases that led from cave to cave, family to family.

 

5)    The Elephant Tribe

It is an aggressive tribe that kills people who have wandered into the deserts, and Mwinyi has befriended them.
