The Sadar-Nizar were born in the desolate wastes of Athurrâm. Instead of being like most sentient beings, a product of Creation, they came from powerful magic gone awry. Over a period of weeks in Saunas 1275, the centaurs of Athurrâm were magically transformed. Arcane emanations from the Cube of Arcane made them Cube Tainted, altering their equine lower bodies to that of a scorpion and covering their humanoid upper bodies in a chitinous exoskeleton.
The Phâte Ubrî named them Sadar-Nizar, or "scorpion-folk". Proving more useful and compliant in their transformed state, they became targets for slavers visiting the Khazarkar Empire. Those taken young are raised in military training facilities, becoming elite guards for government officials or assigned to specialized units of the Athirbêni. Having once been part of the Khazarkar Empire, these Sadar-Nizar tend to enjoy a favorable quality of life. Committed to military service for life, they are confined to roles in security and the armed forces; many of the empire's premier military academies employ Sadar-Nizar instructors.
The nobles of the Khazarkar Empire, known as the Sadar-Nizar, tend to regard those of their ilk who continue to wander the deserts with a sense of condescension. They consider themselves superior to the nomadic members of their civilization.
In the Third Epoch, Sadar-Nizar commenced joining the Minâth Protectors, the guardians entrusted with safeguarding the empire's preeminent families of the Minâth-Nôrî.
