The historical center of the People of the Wind is this gwome that stretches East from the Colorado River. Though variants of this culture exist all over the Southwest, this is the mother land—the land from where the wind blows.

The cities of this place are actually built from the wind itself and the land has been sculpted by the collapse of these buildings. When windslabs collapse, they release the forces within and sometimes a home can turn into a brief but deadly tornado in a matter of seconds. this means the cities of these people are vulnerable to attack, requiring elaborate defensive fortifications which are sculpted from the land itself. Other times the collapse of outlying walls is triggered remotely, obliterating the enemy.

Some of the most beautiful structures incorporate morning mist or floating pollen caught by afternoon light. The great architect Marek even wove faint but different colored smoke into his structure to remarkable effect. This soon was adopted by many (though less skillfully) as previously privacy could only be achieved through interior screens and curtains. Still tradition required that the views not be blighted, so the effect of even the largest building was actually quite luminous and even epheneral in feeling.
