The Zabbaleen collect unwanted trinkets and those things that many consider garbage, and then recycle them and re-purpose, trying to repair the world. They offer revenge to things that have been replaced or made obsolete, reforging them until they can overcome what has replaced them.They have lots of Names, some they collected from the lost Hours, and some of them have been discarded by their Hours. They collect other Hours' forms that they no longer use, too. The Zabbaleen offer revenge to things that have been replaced or made obsolete, reforging them until they can overcome what has replaced them.
==Description==
The lost and abandoned things always eventually end up in their domain, the Garbage City of Mokattam, sooner or later, with help or by chance. They accept everyone and everything. Very rarely, and quite incomprehensibly to the Zabbaleen themselves, there are those who leave ''them''. Such lost ones are welcome to return, and would only require a little bit of tinkering to be fixed. Otherwise, the Zabbaleen search for those with fiery fervour and try bringing them back; ''clearly'', the reshaping process was faulty, and they need fixing again.
===History===
An Egypt-like country was destroyed by a rival empire, based on Venice. The Zabbaleen arose from the wishes of the people to fix what was broken, from their need for a purpose. The Hour salvaged the big part of an entire History to make a new one, where the country has never been defeated, and prospered. Their work was almost done when the Histories started clashing and dividing: six, twelve, four, two. The Zabbaleen's History was once again bashed to pieces and dispersed, but with that calamity came all the other Histories, with their people, things and places that were now lost and without purpose. Thus, the Zabbaleen expanded their goals. Mokattam, it seems, is all that is left from the Zabbaleen's History, apart from an odd artifact here and there.
===Appearance===
The Zabbaleen have many forms, some of which they have re-purposed to fit their needs once they received them from other Hours.

====The Ziggurat Reversed====
One of the Zabbaleen's most monumental landmarks. It comes from their original History, and is probably one of the rare things that are readily recognisable as coming from there. It looks like a pyramid that has been planted upside-down into the Mansus-sands, tilted slightly to the side. No one knows its purpose, yet. It is being upgraded constantly at any given moment.
