Shining Sands is an Akwarai dwarven clan. Well-known and respected, the clan has a presence across the southwestern Sangora Desolation, but is especially commonly found around the Three Saviors of Sahramina. Most members of the clan find work as caravaneers or guides in the desert.
Traditionally, the walking staves given to all Shining Sands children have used iron cores worked from metal obtained from a meteorite that fell in the Keded many centuries ago. With the usable ore from the meteorite almost depleted, the Shining Sands have begun searching for a new source of material for their staves.
