Personalities
Of The Caravan
Snake Copperhead (Deceased)
(I haven’t got my father’s hair colour!)
Tirnalis Ranger
I also joined the caravan in Jahan having run out of money and hoping to work my way back home. I have since become Cocal for the caravan and now expect my travels well may carry on beyond my home state.
Xiuhtecuhtli
(pronounced: shee-whur-tec-WHUR-Tell).
Master Merchant.
After being lauded amongst the rich of Jahan for his spices, exotic delicacies and tempting substances of a more hedonistic nature. It was somewhat of a surprise when he announced his intended departure for the far off city of Tirnalis. Rumours abounded that his sudden departure was more to do with bad business deals with shady underworld types or some impending clampdown on his more illicit routes of trade, than a desire to explore new opportunities in a far off city. After all who in their right mind would want to leave a thriving business and the pleasure gardens of Jahan?
A song celebrating his fame and the quality of his wares now acts as his recommendation rather than the good words of the Jahanian nobility.
Titles
1. Citzen of the Capuli Xiuh of the great city Tezcatlurcan. Pochteca & Feather Bearer to Xihuetal who is the most humble Servant of Topementec III, Emperor of the Great Jaguar Sun Empire.
2. Senior member of the Co-Operative
3. Trade Designate of Caravan Jodassian.
4. Named by the Urdaal 'Foolish But Wise'.
Father Peter & Mileena Khan
I am simply Father Peter, missionary of the Holy Church; I joined the caravan in Jahan just prior to our indenture to the Urdaal. Currently serving as Father-Confessor to the Faithful and spiritual guide to all members of the caravan, regardless of faith.
I speak also for Mileena Khan, my wife, who joined the caravan at the same time. She has pledged her axe to the physical protection of the caravan, in return for victuals and welcome from the Caravan Master.
We would not tend to tell stories praising matters physical - but we commend to you as examples of virtuous living those warriors who put themselves between the dark spirits and the caravan, those who fell, and those who worked to restore them to health for the protection of all. We remember in our prayers particularly she who fell confronting the Dark Feral, hoping that her sacrifice, regardless of professed creed, will return her spark to where it came from. We will not preach to unwilling ears, but invite all to find us in their own time, and will be our own living examples of the Way we have chosen.
Hakim Hasharim
Jahanian *cough* bodyguard/specialist warrior. Joined caravan after previous caravan destroyed on way from Jahan. Scimitar for hire (along with a lot of knives for hire, x-pistol for hire, you get the idea ;-)
Ser
Rhodry Maelwedd
Hailing
from the noble family of Maelwedd in
the silver city of Mytil I seek only
to serve the blessed Light of the
Celestial. My family was one of the
few noble houses to survive the
purge of Mytil by the religious
zealots. Though many houses were
refused to accept the new order, my
family understood and embraced the
teachings of She who walked the
Paths of Dust.
Blessed
am I that my family saw this truth.
Indentured to the Church as a boy my
sword arm became strong as I trained
under the some of the very first
Celestial Knights. My arm is
strengthened further by my faith. I
understand now that the world about
us is as of dust. It is fleeting, a
nothingness through which we must
pass before rejoining the True
Light.
Let
all about me fall to dust for it is
nothing more, I gaze upon the
shining light of the Celestial.
