A reclusive humanoid tribe from the Jeweled Desert, the Shaba Watu are contemplative nomads, Dream-touched by the magic sands. They roam the desert in stoic, quiet caravans, sometimes trading with their allies and neighbors the Nwoda Sky Dwarves, but mostly keeping to themselves. The Shaba Watu appeared after the Dreambleed, and are the only human-related people of the desert, embodying the Fai magic of the silent, windy expanse.

A Shaba Watu could pass as an unusually tall and gaunt human, except for their four arms, which may simply be a byproduct of their Fai heritage. Despite their medium size, they stand well above 2 meters on average.
