Baraqa

Baraqa are a race of bipedal scorpions who live beneath the Dakhmun desert on Tempus.
== Biology ==
Baraqa have natural armour plating over the whole of their bodies. This allows them to withstand the harsh environments of the Dakhmun desert. Their eyes are wholly black, with no visible pupils. Their mouths are split, with chelicerae to help them hold their food.
Baraqa have stingers on their tails that can be used to inject a momentarily paralysing venom into their opponents.
Some Baraqa grow an additional pair of arms. The reason for this is unclear.
== Culture ==
Baraqa have a highly competitive culture centred around survival and combat. In the Baraqa Arena, many Baraqa fight one another or the wildlife of Tempus.
Baraqa worship two major deities: Taqaw, the god of the night and the hunt, and Mutara, the god of the day and combat. They hunt at night and fight in the arena during the day to receive their gods' blessings. Their communities are led by these religious values and rules rather than a specific leader.
Baraqa wield weapons made of bone, as evidence by those that litter their arena.
== Notes ==
Baraqa were added in the Tempus Update. They are a returning race from the original Globelore.
