Abzan Ainok
Ainok are a humanoid race of hounds on Tarkir. This part focuses on the ainok aligned with the Abzan
“When we were lost and weary, the ainok showed us how to survive. They have earned the right to call themselves Abzan, and to wear the Scale.” -Anafenza, khan of the Abzan
The Abzan are very insular, keeping to their own clan. Only ainok broke through this defacto rule, as they helped the Abzan survive in the harsh deserts.
While ainok don’t usually live inside the Abzan cities, they are welcome there. They prefer to live on the fringes of society though.
The ainok master a magic named Sandcalling. They are so connected to the desert, they rarely become disoriented and can always find water.
Some ainok shamans can manipulate the sand itself, causing sandstorms, distractions or letting their opponents get lost in the desert.
