The province of Rahoum is the heartland of the Sirdabi Caliphate and the birthplace of the Azadi faith. It is famed for the vast sweep of its burning deserts and the fiercely independent tribesmen who inhabit them, but boasts equal renown for the vibrant culture of its capital, the wealth of its adventurous merchants, and the depth of its people's piety. Set apart from the extensive irrigation works that line the banks of the River Ennescu, the shaded oasis of the Sirdab Shrine beckons the faithful to prayer and meditation.

Rahoum is chiefly home to the Sirdabi people, who have resided among its deserts, mountains, and river plains for time out of mind. Although the Sirdabi were originally a tribal people engaged chiefly in nomadic pastoralism and small-scale farming, much of the Sirdabi population now lives in towns and large cities scattered widely across the province. Besides herding and farming, they frequently find occupation as merchants, artisans, and government officials, as well as poets, teachers, legal experts, and in numerous other learned professions. Even so, there remain numerous small tribes who reside at the fringers of civilization in the remote reaches of the deserts and mountains.
Besides Sirdabi, a wide variety of heritages can be found in the larger cities of the province. Many Irzali are commonly encountered in the capital, employed as court functionaries of various kinds and filling the ranks of the best universities. Yehani dwell in the mountains bordering the southern province of Marzum, survivors of the long-ago fall of the great Yehani kingdoms there. Coastal cities such as Qaysum and al-Dhoum are thriving multicultural centers of trade, where the native Sirdabi mingle extensively with Salawi, Jalanit, and Irulao.
