Askari

The Askari are a tribal people who live mostly in the country of Simbah. They live to be around four hundred years old, and have a form of nature magic. Most can only control a single element to a minor degree, but the royal family has a much deeper connection with nature. The royal family of the Askarian people also has magical blood that can give anyone who drinks it the lifespan of an Askari.

A virus also spread through the Askarian people many centuries ago, meaning that all modern Askari are immune to this virus. They are distant relatives to the elves, and so when the virus starts spreading through Elvish communities a black market begins to sell Askarian blood, which will inoculate an elf against the virus.
