It is in these oases that people have settled. But there is water to be found underground, trapped in depressions or beneath the wadis where the occasional flash flood rumbles by. A traveler coming over the passes from greener lands would first see fields of dunes broken by gravel plains and volcanic outcrops, shimmering under the heat haze. To the south of the imperial heartland lies the Nahasa, the Bronze Desert, ringed by mountains, hammered by the sun. But everyone knows that the dance has only temporarily been stopped, and at the right moment it will begin again. Today, with the waning of the empire offering new opportunities and new risks, the Aserai have agreed to form a confederacy under a sultan chosen from richest of the clans, the Banu Hulyan.
Those who could not were pushed into the desert, left to raise goats and camels and raid caravans until they could plot a comeback. Those clans that could secure a hold on the oases won an imperial subsidy to protect passing caravans and grew rich. Instead, it projected its power into the Nahasa by cultivating clients and allies among the clans, who competed in an endless dance of power. "The Empire even at its heights preferred not to send its legions into the army-devouring wastes. Over 200 years, the Banu Sarran has supplanted the Aserai from within to become the Sarranid Sultanate. The Aserai are the ancestors of the Sarranid Sultanate from Mount&Blade: Warband. With a strong merchant tradition, their caravans are 30% cheaper to build, with a 10% reduction to trade penalties. The Aserai pride themselves on flexibility and their armies are the closest thing to a generalized faction within Bannerlord, with a reasonably balanced mix of archers, infantry, and medium spear cavalry, although the focus is greatest on cavalry. The Empire becoming weaker has shown an opportunity to the clans, who have formed a confederation in the interests of conquest.
The clans have occupied the springs, oases and coastline settlements of the Nahasa desert and its surrounding areas since ancient times. The Banu Asera, also known as Aserai, is a civilization that is comprised of numerous clans who all claim their descent from the legendary patriarch Asera. It is ruled by Sultan Unqid, and occupies the shores and the desert beyond the Perassic Sea, to the south below the continent of Calradia. The Sultanate of the Aserai is a kingdom in Mount&Blade II: Bannerlord.
