Dervishes of Rihad were a faction of Redguard fighters during the Second Era. It is rumoured that High Queen Ayrenn was able to defeat them in combat at their own sword-dance.[1] They are known to shave their Hammerfell camels and tattoo them with mystic symbols sacred to the spirits of the deep desert to placate them in the hopes they'll refrain from leading the camels astray among the dunes.[2]

The Red Dervish of Rihad, Yousebh the Stringent, was famously quoted for the phrase, "A daughter of the House of Akos Kasaz shall not marry an infidel of another house." referring to the Crowns and the Forebears.[3]
