Anadil's people would probably be Auberean's equivalent of Ispar's Souia-Vey.

The high desert nomads were a loose congolmeration of tribes who lived in the cold high desert west of Gelid. They were best known for their skill as trackers and warriors. They also raised herds of desert riding beasts known for their swiftness and endurance, and wandered with these from one hotsping oasis to the next. Their environment made them a highly practical and efficient people.

The nomads worshipped certain elemental forces of desert life; the wind, the sand, and the sun. Isishaa, the wind (I actually constructed the word to evoke the sound of wind-driven sand when spoken) is the main god of the three.

There's no one name for the "race." High desert nomads will cover it. They divide themselves by tribe (Anadil's was Shakrassekor), and there were dozens of tribes.
