Hadeeb
The Hadeeb are originally from Ulaan-Khuree, a nation that materialized from the nomadic tribes that were scattered in the Khuree Desert and Highlands. While many of the Hadeeb still reside in their homeland, it is currently under the Edge Empire's colonial control. Most Hadeeb therefore live under the thumb of Edge military rule and bureaucracy, as nomads in the desert and mountains of Ulaan-Khuree, or as slaves in Edge Capital.
The Hadeeb are large people, standing over 6’ feet tall and weighing roughly 250 pounds. Their skin ranges from light grey to extremely dark, nearly black gray, though rare individuals have skin in hues of brown-red. They have a pronounced forehead and brow ridge, the central part of the face protrudes forward and is often dominated by a big, wide nose. Their jaws are wide, and their chins are often cleft and square.
The Hadeeb are inherently strong, quiet, and proud people, who have terrorized other peoples with frequent raiders until very recently, when they were conquered and enslaved by the Sajani and the Edge Empire. Thus, their pride turned into harsh and cold resentment, mostly towards the Sajani.
The Hadeeb society strongly revolves around various types of animal husbandry, and they are known for being expert herders and animal trainers with fine cattle and supreme mounts, and for years they were the foremost export of mounts and livestock.
The Hadeeb are rarely forthright in their interactions with outsiders. They have kept to close-knit groups, their tribes in their homelands, or whatever groups the form when in indentured servitude.

As a Hadeeb, you have these special traits.
Ability Score Increase Recommendation. Strength or Constitution.
Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
Everlasting Endurance. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Additionally, for the purpose of checking exhaustion levels, you always count as if you are one level of exhaustion lower than you actually are (i.e., you gain no negative effects from your first level of exhaustion, and only die on your seventh level of exhaustion).
