Scorchlanders tend to value personal freedoms above all else. They don't tend to get along well with rules, regulations and religions, and as a result have a reputation as social misfits and are often found in more adventurous professions. Despite this however, they are highly creative, making them natural-born traders and skilled weaponsmiths. Honest to a fault, laughing in the face of manners, moderation and anything sensible, they make loyal friends, passionate enemies, and are great fun to drink with.

Trivia
- Stubs Momuso and Jewel are Scorchlanders who look like Greenlanders.
- Scorchlander Gorillo Bandits also look like Greenlanders, aside from their eyes.
- Scorchlanders have a vision range mult of 1.25 which is equal to that of a Skeleton. Vision range mult impacts how far a unit can see, and most organic races have a mult of 1.
- The Scorchlanders are likely based on an Oblivion mod by Chris Hunt known as the Sun demons race, minus the tail. Earlier editions of Kenshi also referred to Scorchlanders as Sundemons in the FCS.
- Despite the fact that The Holy Nation does not discriminate against Scorchlanders they are rare to find in their territory. Likely because of their freedom-seeking nature, most Scorchlanders in Holy Nation owned land are Mercenaries or Thieves. Many may rebel and join the Flotsam Ninjas.
- The Holy Nation will treat a Scorchlander the same way they treat a Greenlander as the tag to check if someone is the same race as them uses the "Human" group which Greenlanders and Scorchlanders are in.
