Background

Camel racing in Samarahd is not just a sport, but a cultural touchstone. The most successful riders and their camels are practically celebrities in the city and many retired racers have gone on to become prominent members of society when their careers have ended.

While the major races take part every few months, there are smaller races held twice weekly at the arena and anyone who can afford the entry fee can take part. There are a variety of types of race, but the most popular is the ‘Camelee’. An anything goes race where only the camels are protected, while the riders are fair game for anything they can throw at each other. The race can be brutal, but with medics on hand fatalities are rare, and the prize more than outweighs the risk.
