The Pureshk are a nation of barbarians that live in the Tamire region of Northern Hosk, on the fringes of the Uigan lands, with whom they are allied. The Pureshk were one of the most minor tribes in the Tamire, but following the near annihilation of both the Uigan and the Kazar, they now stand as one of the more dominant tribes.
The Pureshk share the same origins as the Uigan, and are the most closely related by blood, as well as sharing a similar appearance. They are identical to the Uigan in most respects, and are tribesmen are often confused with being Uigan or Pureshk. The strongest difference between the two comes down to hygiene. The Pureshk have the poorest hygiene amongst all the people of the Tamire, both in their living conditions and in the meals they prepare. They have long been the butt of many jokes throughout the region, and are rumored to never be able to surprise an enemy, as they can be detected by smell long before they even approach anyone. They are also rumored to be greatly feared warriors in battle.... as their stench makes even the bravest fighters turn tail and run.
