Homebrew Dromedarii Species Details
"My people were once plentiful and we travelled far, the Dao saw to it that we do not rise again. We are a cursed people."
- Ahmed Kassar describing the plight of his people.
The Dromedarii are a rare and ancient form of beastfolk. Some believe that they are extinct, however, there are small pockets that show up every now and again, proving otherwise. They are a proud and resilient race that will not go down as a placeholder in history. The Dromedarii race originally traveled to many, many different lands. Spreading to Faerun, Kara-Tur, and even some of the islands of Toril. Sadly, a Dromedarii Shah chose his words poorly to a Dao, and the elemental cursed the entire race with short lives and a propensity to travel as much as possible, leaving behind whatever was in their lives before.
The Dromedarii were able to break the curse of short lives, and the race has seen a minor resurgence of late. But they are still by far a race on the brink.
