Under Malshashar, dromites have lived for millennia— their ancient city-hive Zi'til'natek is often thought to be the cradle of dromite civilization in Sarlona. Deep in its halls, the dromites hide from the Inspired and aid the Adarans, though it was not always so. Dromites have battled humans for much of Sarlona's tumultuous history, and it was only through the intervention of the kalashtar that the dromites of Zi'til'natek came to work with Adarans. Now the Summit Road operates through Zi'til'natek and many goods reach Adar that would otherwise be impossible to get. The city is a center of trade, but it is only accessible through psionic portals or the deep caverns under Malshashar. Should Riedra ever threaten Malshashar, the dromites of Zi'til'natek would provide a considerable reserve force. Even so, some dromites within the city-hive harbor their race's traditional grudge against surface dwellers.
