This is a crowdfunded project. The word “sheik,” originally a term of respect referring to a Muslim religious leader or an elder of a community or family, suddenly took on new connotations of irresistible, ruthless, masterful, and over‐sexualized masculinity in the West—before ending up as a brand of condoms in America by 1931.Probably the closest parallel in my setting would be Oldren-Asul or "bandit-lord." (The population variously consists of the decadents in the cities, the bandit tribes wandering the desert, plus the Tazha and Waterjewel.) Let's see, irresistible? No, very tempting some of them, but scene sketches to date include resistance. Ruthless? Variable depending on character, with the majority being willing to do anything to protect their tribe. I don't think they qualify as the most ruthless: that would be Khaafid (a decadent ruler) among villains, and certain of the Tazha among the non-villains.
