The '''Mašnsih''' are a human Bulwari ethnic group native to the Far Salahad region of Bulwar. Inhabitants of the area between the [[Amussu the Speaker of the Sky|Amussu’s ]]Grave desert and the eastern slopes of the Serpentspine mountain range. They are a semi-nomadic people, mainly nomadic pastoralists, but the degree of settledness varies from tribe to tribe. In terms of religion, all major tribes with the exception of the Szal-Fazil are followers of the Jadd.

==The Sihrušam==
'''Sihrušam''', the Sand Banner, is the name of the Mašnsih confederacy. Established during the Age of Petty Kingdoms, the Sihrušam is a pact of defense, offence and general mutual aid between the seven major Mašnsih tribes. Any tribe can summon the Sihrušam, and all tribes have the obligation of joining. The leadership of the Sihrušam rotates between the seven tribal leaders.

==Major Mašnsih Tribes==
===Szal-Adad===
The biggest of the Mašnsih tribes, the Szal-Adad live in the stretch of desert between Hašr and the Harpy's Gate. They are renowned for their hospitality and their good relations with the Surani Akalates. Following Zokka's invasion of Far Bulwar, several minor tribes fled to the east, and were integrated into the Szal-Adad. 

===Szal-Zaid===
The pious Szal-Zaid inhabit the land surrounding the Mountain of Clear Sight, and are the tribe that hosted Jaddar and Erelessa when they came to the Salahad. Years after joining the legionaries, the Herald returned and lived among the szal-Zaid and they consider him and his descendants to be members of the tribe. When Surael enlightened Jaddar with the revelations of the Jadd, the szal-Zaid were the first humans to recognize him as Prophet and Herald of Surael. 

===Szal-Ardeth===
The mysterious Szal-Ardeth are a small and reclusive tribe, living around the Amussu’s Grave desert, and according to ancient Mašnsih legends, they were tasked with the job of preventing the return of an ancient evil buried in the sands of the eastern Salahad. While the tale can't be confirmed, all Mašnih have the Szal-Ardeth in high regards, and they will provide any help that they need.

===Szal-Mehran===
The Szal-Mehran are a merchant tribe, living between the Szal-Adad, the Szal-Zaid and the Szal-Attalu. While the Golden Road is where most of the trade happens, the trade route that goes through the land of the Szal-Mehran is still very popular, since it connects in a straight line Azka-Sur and the major port of Edešukeru in the Rahen Gulf. The Szal-Mehran have a reputation of trustful guides through the sands of the Salahad.

===Szal-Yazkur===
The Szal-Yazkur used to live near the Harra oasis, but they were displaced by the gnolls during the Petty Kingdoms era. Because of that they hold a grudge against the gnolls, and one of their traditions is to hunt the gnoll slavists that travel through the Salahad. They developed a tactic to crush the gnolls: They divide their forces in two groups and while one harasses the gnolls with arrows and fake retreats, the other surrounds them and crush them in a cavalry charge.

===Szal-Attalu===
Living near the coast, the proud Szal-Attalu march into battle carrying an old bronze armor as a banner, which according to legend belonged to Aakhet the Bronze. They also keep a single dragon scale, on top of a huge pile of ancient bronze weapons and armour, in a  desert shrine. A bronze scale that fell from the sky during the battle between Aakhet the Bronze and the Sand Dragon. The Szal-Attalu are also know for the fighting style called [[Ahu Alaktu]], a style adopted from the [[Xiaken]]s fleeing slaves.

===Szal-Fazil===
The Szal-Fazil are the smallest tribe, but they are famous for their mages and wise men. They lived in the ruins of [[Ulmišbar|Ulmišbar,]] an ancient city from the [[Ancient Bulwar|age of the God-Kings]]. Between the ruins  they keep all the magical knowledge of ancient Bulwar that they could find. The mysterious Amman Magi, a sage who went to the western kingdoms to teach magic to the bulwari is a member of this tribe.

==Minor Mašnsih tribes==
===Szal-Bulati===
The Szal-Bulati are a tribe who live in Deezim and the nearby mountains, and in a similar fashion that other peoples living near harpies, the Szal-Bulati women has a major role in the running of the tribe.
