Their very existence is defined by diaspora.

The Gala'ad, Mannic for "Exiles," are the natives of the city-state of Marqhabash. They are an incredibly diverse people, comprised of refugees and exiles from across El-Bayir. They hold strong adherence to their city's Mannic roots, speaking a modern dialect of the Mannic Tongue and often simulating Mannic attire. However, diversity and democracy are the two core values of the Gala'ad, and they pride themselves on their multicultural identity.
