The People of the Yellow Grass, were a race of mixed human-Jaghut blood on the plains of central Assail. They lived in villages of hide and pole huts centered around family groupings. They carried bows and knives and formed warbands to protect themselves from enemies. They made clothing out of leather, and crafted blankets and decorative beads. In death, their bodies were placed on a "tall, raised bier, exposed to the sun's kiss and the wind's embrace."
