Ganzu

The Ganzu people lived in the Hidden Valley, the most important oasis of the Burning Sands, halfway between the Rokugani city of Khanbulak and the capital of the Qamarist Caliphate, al-Zawira. They had no horses, but camels, to travel in the nearby desert. The Hidden Valley was invisible from more than a dozen paces away in any direction, which allowed the place to remain hidden from enemies that passed by. For protection from the heat, the Ganzu built their homes half beneath the ground, and for defense from enemies, they kept even the spires of their temple below the level of the canyon walls.

== Customs ==
The leader of the Ganzu was the khutun, who ruled atop of an ebony throne, and their people were followers of the Qamarism religion. 
== Unicorn Clan ==
The Ganzu became cousins to the Unicorn Clan when they swore fealty to Shinjo Khulan Khan in 1010. As the holding was beyond the borders of the Emerald Empire, they were Unicorn, but not Rokugani. The Ganzu were eventually forced to surrender to the Qamarist Caliphate in 1072, when he attempted to conquer the Sand Road. The better part of their warriors marched east on foot, and those who survived, joined with the White Horde and the Battle Maidens, who broke the Nehiri and reclaimed the lost land in 1074.
