Gazali

Description: The Gazali are a Hyborian Culture dwelt in southern Koth almost a millennium ago. The Gazali where noted for their scholarly wisdom, but they were forced to leave Koth when they tried to revive the worship of Mitra, a religion the Kothians had long abandoned. The Gazali (comprised of Priest, Scholars, Teachers and Scientists) travelled south with their Shemitish slaves, through Shem and Stygia, into the Black Kingdoms. Under the influence of Ollam-Onga the Gazali have become dreamy and introspective, losing Human passions and ambitions.

Culture: The Gazali Culture is predominantly Kothic although they worship Mitra. Theirs is a quiet, introspective Culture of science and discovery. Their learning is a marvel. The Gazali leaders probably have a Demon Pact with Ollam-Onga, who has taught them the Fruit of Air Spell (From Conan: The Scrolls of Skelos).

Names: These seem to be based on traditional Kothic names. Example (Female) Lissa.

Religion: The Gazali worship Mitra and Ollam-Onga to a lesser extent.

Cultural Features:

* No Weapon Familiarity. Unlike other Hyborians, the Gazali do not gain weapon familiarity with the greatsword.

* The Gazali do not get the bonus to Fate Points that other Hyborians get.

* -1 penalty to any attack rolls. The Gazali are not merely untrained in the ways of war, they completely lack the temperament to willingly engage in combat. This penalty no longer applies if the Gazali ever gains a martial weapon proficiency.

* Literate: Although many Gazali are little more than Commoners now, they are all literate and even if they take the Commoner Class or another Class that is illiterate, they do not have to spend the 2 skill points to gain literacy.

* Corrupt: Having lived so long with glowing globes and influence of Demons, the Gazali begin their careers with 1 point of Corruption. Something is wrong with the Gazali and it is readily seen, if not identifiable.

* Cannot take ranks in Ride or Handle Animal at 1st level because there are no horses, camels or pack animals in Gazal. The Gazali simply have no experience with domesticated animals.

Favoured Class: Scholar.

Prohibited Class: Barbarian, Borderer, Martial Disciple, Mercenary, Noble Cavalry, Nomad, Pikeman, Pirate, Soldier.
