The Arabs

Millennia ago, the Arabs were a cunning predators they are today, but rather a dark desert dwellers who did not coexist with the other races of the world. However, a catastrophic betrayal by neighboring civilizations—who sought to help them in exchange for their ancestral oil holes—shattered their innocence and forged an unbreakable tribal code: survival through deception, domination, and the elimination of all threats to their supremacy. Over generations, this philosophy calcified into their very essence, transforming them into masterful manipulators who view cooperation with outsiders as weakness and mercy as a fatal flaw. They developed an intricate network of spies, assassins, and merchants who infiltrate foreign lands under false pretenses, gathering intelligence and sowing discord among rival factions to weaken potential adversaries. Their entire culture now revolves around the accumulation of wealth and power through any means necessary, with elaborate hierarchies rewarding those most willing to betray, scheme, and eliminate competitors. To the Arabs, all non-Arabs exist merely as resources to be exploited or obstacles to be removed, their suffering irrelevant to the greater glory of their own race. This twisted worldview has made them formidable enemies whose treachery is as legendary as their ability to strike when least expected.
