Bahut sa are beings of curacion, emotional resonance, flux, and mijjit. They are among the world's finest users of curacion, which is complemented by the healing properties of their clay. They are also commonly users of blood energy, ashar, alcohol, humors, nourishment, hegnh, mansam, banaru, aifaellam, prasinofos, euergasia, hasken fure, tyvka vlast, oalkhyaloataa, yahas, euphoria, nzwara murazvo, euphony, ichor, lahab al'qalb, ma'dhahabi, bijalee, radiance, spirits, ethereal essence, menab'e, waarheid, nommos, kazaddarean, bailaohu jinghua, iremia, and poarta.

Their healers are called aarogy karanevaala, and they mix a number of esoteric energies into their work. Curacion, mijjit, and emotional resonance are the main parts of it, but they also use blood energy, ashar, and nourishment to complement those. They use prasinofos, hasken fure, and tyvka vlast for making medicines, and they use hegnh, banaru, and yahas to bring together protective and healing energies. Euphoria and iremia are used to heal emotional states, and oalkhaylaoataa is used to make the weak stronger. If they treat animals, they also use nzwara murazvo. Sometimes they use lahab al'qalb, ma'dhahabi, or bijalee for heat or electrical support, especially for cauterizing or shock therapy.

The bahut sa are a small nation in subcontinental Dabusen. Long ago, they were a small, classless people living in the foothills of Highreach, helping any who came through their territory and sharing their clay with all who they met. But as classes developed in nations around them, they became targets. They were hunted and enslaved by the nascent empires, and for Ages, this was their existence. Very few lived outside of enslavement. They were prized for their healing powers, and as slaves, they served emperors, god-kings, nobles, and generals. To this day, they are still sought after by the slaving empires and traders. But as empires rose and fell in their home region, some were able to escape and reclaim their culture.

They live in small communities isolated from other nations, because of the long history of enslavement they have suffered. As an oppressed nation with no country of their own, they have long since left behind their distant roots as a matriarchal society and integrated into the various countries they now dwell in. Some of their customs do survive, however.

Bahut sa live in households that include multiple generations, only splitting off when there is no room for more. When this happens, the youngest adults (ages 22 and up) find their own places to live, often close to one another if possible. Every week, the whole family gathers if they can, at least once, for a large meal. At this meal, they share their clay and tell stories of those they helped in the week, if they have. Then they tell the story of their family, going back as many generations as they can remember.

Every bahut sa child is raised by their extended family. Though they generally follow the norms of the society they are in, they still retain a handful of their own traditional milestones. At birth, the birthing parent shares clay with their child, and only the birthing parent will do so until the child is about 12. At that time, they will share with the whole family. It is looked down upon for a child to share clay outside of the family unless they are engaged to someone. By age 20, however, most bahut sa have begun to branch out and seek other connections. At age 22, there is a coming of age rite called sakht ("hardening") wherein they are washed in special oils, then sit beside a fire for an entire night, letting their clay become rigid. In the morning, they rise, letting the hardened surface clay break off and come out with a fresh skin.

Despite their oppression, they have rules among their own that it is forbidden to refuse to heal the sick or injured, with the only exception being Agikaani military or rulers or plague-bearers. The bahut sa remember all too well the breeding, work, and death camps of Agikaan, and they refuse to heal those they see as responsible. Because they refuse to heal Agikaani leaders, they are often executed in Agikaan even to this day. Plague-bearers intentionally spread dangerous diseases, so they do not heal those who cause such horror. They see it as furthering the spread of disease (which is accurate).

Because they have supernatural healing abilities, they rarely study medical science. They honor those that do, though, and view them as the best of other nations. They take them in often to discuss medical philosophy and teach them esoteric means of healing.

Traditionally, gender among the bahut sa has been seen as malleable, and given their mutable bodies, they did not connect biology and gender until forced to do so by oppressing nations. They still have some customs that eschew gender norms among them, particularly their respect for those who do not match the rigid gender roles of their oppressors (effectively, trans people, though they call them teesara raasta). Among them, the teesara raasta are honored as more potent healers (which statistically is true, though not set in stone). Same-sex marriage is honored among them even when it is not by their oppressors.

Music among the bahut sa is passed down through their families, and special songs are sung during festive occasions and celebrations. These songs all tell silly tales of animals; they once had more symbolic meanings, but those have been lost.
