Ashalan tattoo

The Ashalan tattoos were a trademark of the Ashalan race.
== Original tattoos ==
The Ashalan used the tattoos to express themselves, as a maturity ritual. They symbolized who bore them had enough experience to join the leading group. Legend of the Burning Sands Roleplaying Game, p. 139
== Magical ==
In the Day of Wrath the tattoos drew part of the magic unleashed this day, but it had a drawback. Their wielders suffered under the wrath of Shilah, the Sun. They became powerful sahir but they should cover them from the sun light or risk death. The energy which had been imbued inside the tattoos drifted toward the sun, and the process stole the vital life of the Ashalan. 
The tattoos shifted and took the form which better suit with the Ashalan. A warrior had tattoos which resembled him as a feared beast as a lion. The newborn Ashalan bore the magical tattos since their birth, and after generations their lineage could be traced seeing them. 
== Total Domination ==
Rashol using crysteel needles developed a tattooing technique which thralled the will of those who were tattooed to the Ashalan artisan. The victims did not decay, but they did not have any magical power. The Council of Twelve eventually forbade this practice and hunted those who performed the Legend of the Burning Sands Roleplaying Game, pp. 139-140 Tattoo of Domination.

=== Adopted Ashalan ===
