The Sholma people inhabit the coastal regions, living off of fish, whale, and other wildlife. They generally stay put, so their homes consist of very solid igloos. The Sholma are not very friendly to outsiders, but will be hospitable if their trust is earned. They produce a very fine golden-orange dye, prized in many nations, from algea that grows on shore. Trading for a few bottles of this dye is enough for most merchants to retire, but is not done easily. More thieves would attempt to steal the dye if any of them returned to get rich off it.
