Sajani
The ruling class of the Edge Empire, the dominating power of its region. They populate and control Edge Capital, and nearly all positions of power throughout Edge Empire and have great influence on all major settlements within. The Sajani are proud and sophisticated people, bright, inquisitive, and fearless in their own ways, unafraid to push the boundaries of knowledge and scientific discoveries. Few of the Sajani would willingly dwell in rural areas, and most would find themselves most comfortable in the urban setting, and would strive to reach it.
Sajani skin tone ranges from light tan to brown, and their hair is most often jet black, and curly, but not always. They tend to have sharp noses and chins but otherwise relatively soft facial features.
Sajani relish discoveries and problem-solving, which leads, at times, to unwelcome results. To the Sajani, however, that is complete nonsense, as that inquisitive nature has brought them amazing discoveries and made them an unrivaled power. Thus, they tend to encourage even ill-advised attempts at innovation, as they know what big of a difference even one discovery can make to their fortunes as a nation, no matter how many failures preceded it.
The Sajani place great value on expertise in one’s field. Even the lowliest of cobblers would normally take great pride in his profession and would take great care in his work, striving to find new and better ways to improve his products, not for gain, necessarily, though that might be a welcomed side effect, but simply due to an innate desire to perfect the process and learn better and new ways to do the work
The Sajani see their reign over the Empire as proof of their superiority. They are not necessarily unkind to the “less fortunate” peoples, but they believe their superiority is evident simply by the state of things. This attitude lends to people who believe that the end nearly always justifies the means. They are not above playing dirty or even deception and corruption, as long as the end result is considered for the good of the Empire (or to their personal benefit…).
