Othesh

Othesh is a desert civilization, referred to by it's inhabitants and local to the region as Obu. It includes inhabitants such as Isaac Amari. The town is known for it's iron mining, although it only trades with settlements that have good relations with them. Otheshians are overall pretty polite, but the society is built on a type of caste system. There are districts that separate the poor, middle class, and the wealthy. However, trade markets and bazaars are unsegregated. Wealthy and middle class districts tend to have their own facilities (taverns, jails, etc.).

Although the religion is not well understood by outsiders, but it is known that Othesians are very superstitious.

The Temple of Theslia holds great religious importance. The story behind it is that one day, there was a man wandering the desert. On the brink of death due to hunger and dehydration, he lied there in the searing sand, defeated. Unable to open his eyes, the man began being hand-fed luxurious bread and given cold water. Once he gathered the strength to open his eyes, sand began falling from the sky, falling all over him. Using his newfound strength he attempted to overcome the sand. It became his new tomb, and they say that travelers could hear screams and cries for help, which beckoned them into the desert. Travelers set up a town there, in hope that the restless spirit could find solace there.

The real story behind the temple of Theslia was hidden by the secret society, which is uncovered in The Revolution quest. The man had opened his eyes to find nobody there. Grateful to the mysterious force who saved him, he became determined to inhabit the hinterlands so that others may be graced by the mysterious woman who became known later as the Goddess of passion, Theslia. The only offerings Theslia asks for, is to not kill. If an Othesian kills a large animal or another human (or other races), they must justify theirself to the signia of Theslia within the temple. The society had hidden the true passionate nature of the goddess in order to instill a sense of fear and judgement upon the inhabitants, being able to easily manipulate them and force them to pay unnecessary tax and other acts.
