Annals: Year 7
A story fragment and codex entry from the Dustsong Cycle
From the Annals of the Vaporous Realms
Far to the south, a terrible sandstorm drove a man into the wastes. When the storm subsided, he came upon a watering hole. There a prowler lay in ambush for a great humpback. The man spoiled the prowler's game, whereupon the humpback bent knee to the man and permitted him to ride upon its back. So the first Camel Lord came to be.
Codex: Camel Lords
The Camel Lords were a desert-folk clan known for riding greater humpbacks exclusively, instead of the lesser dromedaries favored by most Children of the Wastes. They were the foremost of the thirteen clans that followed Len Ghremson out of the wandering wastes.
Under their chief Kræwk, the Camel Lords settled the banks of the river east of Danoh-town. Many of their descendants returned to the wastes by the middle of the first epoch.
Author Note
Here is the new Kaelii profile for Vaporous Realms at War. Kaelii is better balanced for roleplay than for tactical scenarios. (Imagine Galadriel's mirror with the fighting skill of a hobbit.) Either way, she ought to keep things interesting!
Below is a sneak peek at crafting progress on the Egwae protype for Kickstarter. I'll post more photo updates this week (for paid and complimentary subscribers).
P.S.: I fixed a final (I hope) error in Len's profile. His Marked by the Wright ability was supposed to apply to his Doom characteristic, not his Wiillpower.
