- Permissions and credits
Desert Sands [BETA] adds a new faction (split into several subfactions), new dialogue, recruits, world states, and quests.
Most prominent are the Desert Tribes; a religous people whose ancestors settled on the Great Desert and spread from there. Walking into their lands one must know not to bring alcohol or to leave women unattended and to always carry the Truth; a collection of religous texts scribed by the First of the Tribe who the Imam's claim was given the knowledge by Okran Himself. The Morality Police enforce the rulings of the Truth among all the lands of the tribes. The tribes will also send trade carravans and raids towards the players and even sell hashish/hemp and some livestock uncommon among the Nomads.
The Tribe of the Great Desert is the tribe which inhabits the original holdings of the long passed First of the Tribe. They are lead by Tribal Leader Wahid who leads the jihad against the Imperial Cities of the Great Desert in order to rid the sands of "Narko's Influence." Many say though, he is a puppet for the Imams who preside in Al-Zarqwa.
Arnab Alghadib is the northenmost tribe settled in Sinkuun. They are lead by the Tribal Leader Ahmed who leads their jihad against the cannibals in the name of "spreading the Truth." Many however claim that he simply is filled with bloodlust and uses his devotion as an excuse to wage war against those he can.
The Tribe of Bone is the southernmost tribe settled in the Bonefields. Lead by Tribal Leader Jeems, they fight desperately to tame the Bonefields and secure trade for the Desert Tribes.
The Tribal Slavers are lead by the Slaveress Jamilah from the High Bonefields. They capture "infidels" and "heretics" to fuel the glorious jihad but some wonder just how many of these slaves come from outside tribal lands.

Current Features:
3 New Cities and Slave Camp
1 Major faction split into 4 subfactions + Quests for each one
Wage jihad against anyone who has slightly different beliefs or become the Ash Ketchum of the slave trade
Raids into Howler Maze, Sinkuun, Darkfinger, Bast, High/Low Bonefields
1 unique recruit, 3 new flavored recruits, and 3 new generic recruits
Original bar dialogue in tribal bars
♥♥♥♥ tons of written dialogue
Planned Features/Updates:
1) Immediate Future -
Patch for reactive world (High priority, will make the Arnab Alghadib quest line a lot more fun)
Female Unique recruit
More complete dialogue packages for generic tribal NPCs
More easier quests with new NPCs to have options for early game
Bug fixes and spelling mistakes corrections
Finding and replacing terms and words left in from before I changed names/naming conventions for certain factions/items
Tuning some of the earlier rushed dialogue
2) Intermediate Future -
Full dialogue package for all new generic NPCs
More Tuning
3) Further Future -
Finish Implementing Half Completed Secret Subfaction
4) Ideas that probably won't be realized because I don't really know how to yet -
Unique armor and weapons for the Desert Tribes and Slavers
This mod is in [BETA] and I would greatly appreciate help spotting bugs/grammar and spelling errors as well as suggestions for new updates. Also if someone knows how to take good pictures in Kenshi can can send me some stuff to use as a preview image that would be dope!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compatibility:
This mod will require an import and should be compatible with any mod that doesn't have towns in the same locations (Great Desert in between Heft and Stoat, Northern Sinkuun, South of the Gorillo Bandits in Bonefields, and High Bonefields). It may also conflict with mods that change world states (just put which ever mod who's world states you care more about at the bottom).
Probable Bugs:
The icon for The Truth may unpack to the wrong location. In this case it will display as a clear box with an x through it. If it did find [The Truth.png] in the mod folder and move it to Kenshi\data\items\icons (NOT Kenshi\data\icons) to fix the issue.
