Akh’Mashnazahd rules the sandy deserts, and there are some who consider him to be the true head of the Akh’Barad pantheon. Like Fah, he is sometimes indifferent to the effects his harsh domain has on his worshippers, though many believe it to be a form of “tough love,” that only the strongest are worthy. Akh’Mashnazahd is said to have dozens of demigod sons who are made of pure sand but rise from the dunes in the shapes of men or other creatures to do Akh’Mashnazahd’s bidding. Though his worshippers tend to be nomadic tribes, they travel with and often leave behind tall stone statues generally just of his face. These statues are often seven to ten feet tall, and nomadic tribes will leave them near oases and stone outcroppings to serve as scattered places of worship.
