The Benshira are a great race, aren't they? Despite the hardships of surviving in the desert, they seek to embrace life. In the face of suffering and difficulty, they turn to family, art, and their god to anchor and inspire their lives. They seem to know real unity in a world where such community is rare. Let's celebrate the Benshira!

What is playing a Benshira like for you? How has your character negotiated his or her life and faith? If you play abroad rather than in the homeland of Yahebah, how has race shaped your experience living among others? Discuss! Plan stories! Post relevant lolcats! This is our thread.

Benshira players, past and present:
58 great players! If your name isn't on this list, let me know so I can add you.

Hey, guys. Yeah, I'm new to Mizahar, and spent a few weeks just combing over through the expansive lore available on the website before I finally decided to make a character. Benshira immediately perked my interest. I love just about everything about them and feel like I can connect with them the best. Looking forward to getting to know all of you and doing some RP.

Falim!!!

I just want to drop a quick greetings in here to my fellow Benshira and applaud the awesomeness of our people!! It was the Benshiran race that finally pushed me to join Mizahar, and I became the first Benshira character!

I want to give a huge nod to Colombina, our mother, for creating such a rich and vibrant race.

Faroul, thank you for starting our Pride thread, and Ra'id, welcome!!

Mahim!

How could I forget you, Leiwinn? Added! :) That makes 40 awesome Benshira! Woo!

And Abashai, you rock! You really set the ground for everyone who joined the race after you. Thanks for all the hard work and imagination you've put into your stories. You're an inspiration for every new Benshira.

As for our mother Colombina, well.

Who was that Yahal guy, again? I don't think we need him anymore.

OMY. Faroul, that is hands down the best photoshop I have seen on this side. A+ for the allusion ;) . I just about died.

Thank you for making this wonderful thread! And to all my Benshira, you make the race richer everyday with your new takes on their culture and by delving deeper into their story. :)

I added some holidays to Yahebah recently, btw! Hope you get a chance to see them in action.

Falim, Benshira sisters and brothers! Here's the latest news from the tents:


~ Welcome to Sutekh, our newest Benshira player! He's looking for threadmates, so take a look and see if you can help him out!


~ AS Cantrip is currently running the Feast of Eliajon in Yahebah. It's an open thread, so if you're in the home city, don't miss it!


~ Abashai, Mizahar's very first Benshira player, is retiring from the game. He's blazed a trail for all of us who came after, so if you'd like, you can leave a note of thanks and farewell in his scrapbook. Best of luck, Abashai! Mahim!

D'aw, so welcome!

Sue is by far the poster child of a Benshira, but he was raised that way so ... Uh ... He still gets to come to the family parties, right?
