Munsahir
Munsahirs are an elemental people living on the Plane of Fire, often crudely described by mortals as brassy dwarves. They have stout, wide bodies with broad shoulders, shining metallic skin, and heads wreathed in flame.Munsahir society is organized into traditional roles inherited along their familial lines, and a munsahir's role is indicated clearly by the metals they wear in their armored kilts. Their culture focuses on tradition and history, placing high value on obedience and conformity within one's community, and as a result it's slow to change. Many munsahirs take pride in their ancestral roles and in fulfilling their inherited duties, providing needed services within their communities.
Long ago, traditional munsahir values of self-sufficiency and close community led them to build mighty fortresses across the Plane of Fire, where they isolated themselves from other planar denizens and even other munsahir communities. These values, sadly, also led to their downfall. Without any connections to or regular communication with other settlements, these fortresses were easily conquered by the ifrits of Medina Mudii'a, the dominant power on the Plane of Fire. Now most munsahir fortresses lie abandoned and ruined, with free holds so few and far between that most think them all lost.
Munsahirs born within the ifrits' Dominion of Flame belong to the populations that were conquered and assimilated into the empire ages ago. They live in perpetual service to the empire, disconnected from their history and culture, yet have formed their own close-knit society in Medina Mudii'a under the fire genies' harsh rule. A handful of munsahir communities have escaped ifrit conquest, most often by fleeing far from the genies' realms. Some of these munsahirs now reside in hot, volcanic areas of the Darklands on Golarion, while others have fled to the remote depths within the Plane of Fire. Prying outsiders nevertheless perpetually seek out these settlements, longing for legendary munsahir-crafted goods.

Munsahirs On Other Planes
While the majority of munsahirs live on the Plane of Fire, a few groups have emigrated to other planes. On Golarion, a number of large communities exist in the Flume Warrens, part of the Darklands beneath the Mindspin Mountains. Another group has taken up residence under the Five Kings Mountains after a harrowing escape from oppression in Medina Mudii'a. Legends speak of an ancient elemental nation led by an immortal munsahir who ruled a portion of the Valashmai Jungle in Tian Xia, but the fate of this nation is unknown, and few of its ruins remain.
