As a people, the Tehir are organized into wandering tribes and have as much in common with each other as we may have differences. To be a Tehir is to be one who was born and raised in the desert and live alongside nature in tents or in caves. We are known to raise yierka, goats, and horses primarily. We know how to use all kinds of herbs as food, drink and medicine.

A Tehir can navigate and live with ease in the desert. Our life is simple – but our famed hospitality and generosity is not a myth. However, ask us to share and we will be generous, try to take what is ours we will fight effectively to keep what is ours. A Tehir accepts and appreciates what he has and is willing to share this with others. He is proud of who he is and is loyal to his land. A Tehir can see bounty where you perceive barrenness and finds poetry in that which you see bleakness. It is our way of life.

If you were to visit the Sea of Fire, you may notice small pyramids of stones out in the desert left by some tribes. These mark the boundaries of somebody’s property and indicate that at certain times of the year, such as harvesting times or maybe yierka foaling times, this area is out-of-bounds. Herds of goats are definitely not invited to trample over the area, nor would wetlanders be welcomed.
