==In The Bonehunters==
Halaf was one of several ancient cities in the centre of the Seven Cities subcontinent that were home to a mostly subjugated people characterised by blonde hair, heart-shaped faces, and blue eyes. It was implied they were the remnants of the original people of the First Empire as they shared these physical characteristics with the people of the Kingdom of Lether, a one-time First Empire colony. Other cities whose populations included these remnant peoples were Guran, Karashimesh, and Omari.The Bonehunters, Chapter 16, US SFBC p.663
