Baklunish

Baklunish

In the "World of Greyhawk" campaign setting for the "Dungeons & Dragons" roleplaying game, the Baklunish (or Bakluni) are a race of humans inhabiting the Flanaess, as well as regions of Oerik further west.

Descendants of the human inhabitants of the ancient Baklunish Empire, the Baklunish of today are confined chiefly in the northwest Flanaess, in that region known as the Baklunish Basin and other nearby regions, including Zeif, Ekbir, Tusmit, Ull, Ket, the Dry Steppes, the Plains of the Paynims, the Tiger Nomads, and the Wolf Nomads.

In some cases, the Baklunish mirror the real life Arabian people. Many similarities can be drawn between the two, including appearance and the influence of genies and other magical forces.

Description

Baklunish folk have golden-hued skin and hair that ranges from blue-black to dark brown. Their eyes are often green or gray-green.
