The Dahan are the native, semi-nomadic human inhabitants of the Island. They coexist well with the land and the Spirits. They also aren’t too thrilled about the Invaders’ colonization, but are wary of initiating violence.

Each Island Board starts with 6 Dahan pieces. Population growth in the game’s timespan occurs only with a few Powers which grant blessings of health, fertility, and good harvests. The number of Dahan is not limited by the supply of pieces.

Dahan only attack Invaders when a Spirit Power prompts them to do so, or when attacked themselves: after Invaders Ravage a land, any surviving Dahan in that land each deal 2 Damage to the Invaders in that land.

Each Dahan has 2 Health, meaning they are Destroyed by 2 Damage from Invaders.

Damage from Spirits does not hurt Dahan, although some Spirit Powers cause Dahan casualties as a terrible side effect.
