Shara is a country located to the east of the Aiel Waste. It is bordered to the south by the Sea of Storms, and to the east by the Morenal Ocean.
Description
Shara lies to the east of the Aiel Waste, from which it is separated by the Cliffs of the Dawn and the Great Rift. Significant mountain ranges longer than the Spine of the World lie to the east of both features, further inhibiting travel into Shara. The Cliffs of the Dawn are easily scalable only in six locations. The Sharans have built heavily-fortified towns in each of these locations, where trade is permitted with westerners (Aiel and those gleemen and peddlers from the Westlands the Aiel permit to cross the wastelands). In each of these towns the residents go veiled at all times, and the walls are so tall that it is impossible to see into the towns from outside. Westlanders are not permitted to travel through these towns' eastern gates into Shara proper. Those who try disappear.
Culture
Shara and its people are very insular and protectionist. They are purportedly renowned lairs so trade with them is risky. However, Shara is the singular source for silk and ivory, so traders are willing to take that risk. They only allow the Atha'an Miere to dock at specified walled ports, and the Aiel to trade in specific walled cities. Anyone attempting to pass the walls is never heard from again.
Clothing and Appearance
Sharans have very dark skin.
