Gur

The Gurs, also known as Selûne's Children or the people of the highway, lived in nomadic societies throughout the Western Heartlands, although a few settled in some of the poorer sections of cities such as Baldur's Gate, Elturel, and Iriaebor.

Culture
Gurs were notable for their large extended families that travelled from settlement to settlement in caravans picking up random jobs and selling or trading any unwanted goods. Gurs were often gifted oracles and known for their talent in soothsaying and divining. Gur culture placed a high value on honor.

Religion
The Gurs mainly followed Selûne, but were also known to worship Savras, which could explain the survival of his faith during his long period of imprisonment.

Language
Within their own tribes, the Gurs spoke Gurri, a creole tongue with roots in Imaskari, but with influence from many other tongues, in particular the Rashemi language, and many thought long-dead. They were also proficient in Chondathan, which they used when communicating with those outside of their culture.

The Gurs used the Thorass alphabet.

History
The Gurs were believed to be mainly of Rashemi descent owing to their strong similarity with the natives of Rashemen. Fragments of lore originating from the period around the first century Dale Reckoning could be found that mentioned the Gurs as a group of nomads. What was known of the early Gurs suggested that they were refugees fleeing a long-ago war between Raumathar and Narfell.
