The Nastrod People is an ethnographic group living in modern-day Lake Baras region and parts of Weagal. There exact origins on Aren are unknown, but believed to be either The Interior or possibly the Urut Desert. Nastrods have the rare distinction of being one of Aren's few unique haplo groups of which genetical pure individuals are still relatively common.
The Nastrod people are characterized by yellowish-brown skin, dark hair, and narrow, slit-shaped eyes. However, actual Nastrodos can only be identified through genetic testing, as numerous similar characteristics are found in off-world populations who have since emigrated to Aren.
Sometime during the Second Chaotic Period of the Mage Wars, the Nastrods conquered the regions surrounding Lake Bara and declared it their ancestral homeland. In the process, the local population was completely removed. While most prior residents were merely chased out, evidence of largescale genocide has since been discovered.
No archeological or historic evidence exists for the region having ever been home to a large-scale Nastrod population before the Second Chaotic Period, however this has not stopped the Nastrod nation from claiming the region as well as neighboring Weagal. As most territorial borders were frozen at the start of the Golden Age, in the intervening millennia there has not been complaint. By the end of the Golden Age, the Nostrod had lived in the region for nearly 1300 years.
