Technically two distinct peoples, the northerners being a Faal off-shoot and the southerners being a Diserk descended people, the Rheghenda Desert Natives are closely tied by shared cultural traditions of their desert homeland. They share a religion, many social customs and there is no tradition of rivalry or prejudice being based on skin color or other physical features. They both inhabit the same cities (what few there are) and are marked both by a strong will to survive and a compassionate edge, with a fiercely independent streak.

While there are few cities in the Rheghenda Nations, that is largely due to preference, with the smaller villages still as technologically advanced as any city on the planet. While there is a division into tribes and city states, they collectively have organized into the Federal Republics of South Rheghenda (which also includes the Diserk city-states and polities to the south) and the North Rheghenda Confderation, a confederation of local polities. Both of these grew out of 'moot's in the past to the current status of government. Very few of these native groups leave Mathen, mostly interested in their local world.
While there are few cities in the Rheghenda Nations, that is largely due to preference, with the smaller villages still as technologically advanced as any city on the planet. While there is a division into tribes and city states, the natives located to the South joined the Diserk-created Federal Republics of South Rheghenda and natives located to the north created the North Rheghenda Confderation, a confederation of local polities. Very few of these native groups leave Mathen, mostly interested in the desert, although a substantial number are over represented in Mathenite's leading authors and ecologists.


The Northern Rheghenda are physically differentiated from the Faal by their chalk white skin, black hair and blue eyes and the southern Rheghenda are known by their angular features, light brown skin and darker eyes.
