They are more common in Readceras and very rare in Aedyr. come originally from just south of the Equator and, with the exception of some groups that migrated north, have remained in the same location for over ten thousand years. The name Natlan literally means "original." While quite common in Readceras, savanna folk are not usually seen in the Dyrwood and the Vailian Republics.
