The Sai Peoples

Type: Indigenous Tribal Culture | Base: Arcadia (nomadic)

Tribal nomadic people who claim to be indigenous to Arcadia. They possess valuable knowledge of the planet’s natural toxins and how to survive in its hostile environment—proficient herbalists who practice traditional medicine.

Their religion incorporates astrology, divination, filial piety, and ancestor worship, with holy sites laid out in hexagonal geometric patterns. They consider foxes evil and the number 7 bad luck. Regular feasts and remembrances honor their ancestors.

The Sai navigate pressures from offworld colonization and corporate exploitation while maintaining their traditional way of life. Resource exploitation by the Golden Triangle Company threatens their traditional lands, while Waterbarons control of water affects their nomadic routes. They share common cause with the Syndicalists in resisting exploitation.
