Description

Member of the Nomads of the Arid Steppe.

Negev is not a citizen of any province, but maintains a home near Leth Deriel.
He has favors with Phelim.

You are Nomad Negev Uhrsohhersk, Telekinetic Warrior, a S'Kra Mur. You have an elongated face with a flexible ridged crest which follows the shape of your skull and slitted milky blue eyes, speckled scales with a pale silver underbelly and a thick tail. Some ghastly jawless skulls float lazily around your neck, glowing with a lustrous sheen against your scales. You are middle-aged.

You are wearing a bone mask, a kyanite gwethdesuan, a rusted iron skull suspended from a battered leather cord, a road-worn traveler's cloak, a clockwork spider, a simple ivory carving inscribed with flowing copper runes, a rusty steel pin stamped with "Forsaken Savior", a silver brooch encrusted with opals in the pattern of a short bow, a lumpy bundle, a charcoal grey backpack, a red velvet gamantang, a deeply-hooded black monk's robe, some tight-fitting leathers, a twisted cambrinth armband, some enameled elbow spikes, a shalswar-hide buckler, a blood-red sacrificial knife, some wickedly spiked knuckles, some gauntlets shaped from discolored bear bones tipped with sharp claws, a blackened silver ring set with a large cambrinth nightingale, a carved black ironwood ring resembling a dragon coiled around a ruby rose, a cambrinth ring, a padded black belt pack embroidered with a horned skull, a tooled leather craftsman's belt with a gold arrowhead buckle, an origami-paper envelope, a stone grey hide telescope case trimmed in pure white fur, an herb pouch, a serrated belt knife, a slender cambrinth tailband carved with a myriad of silver-inset stars, a bone tailband with a pair of crescent moons carved into its surface, a thigh quiver dyed in a brown and green camouflage pattern, some embellished knee spikes, a cambrinth ankle cuff inlaid with bloodstone nightingales to spell PHELIM, some steel-toed footwraps with silver buckles, some leather ankle boots and an iron-banded parry stick with brown leather straps.

Backstory

Negev came from a family of S'Kra Mur Bards who immigrated to Leth Deriel shortly before the time of the Dragon Priests. Most of his family are still either Bards or Moon Mages. Those of the Moon Mages who survive are rumored to belong to the Bonedancers, but Negev will only acknowledge that he is a Nomad. Few of his family survive, however.

Besides music, he also has a fascination for research into rare magical artifacts, particularly those of Dragon Priest or Imperial origin. During one such excursion, in his research of items in the museum of Throne City, he encountered Shayddow.

There are also rumors that years ago his grandfather had originally visited Muspar'i to arrange a marriage with the Savakiian family, but had been turned down at that time because the Uhrsohhersk family are flat-featured, as are many S'kra from the islands. However, the Savakiians later accepted a Rathan trader from the house of Dne into the family, and prejudices have faded over the years.

He thus was introduced to the rest of the family, and has proposed marriage to Totendanz. She gave him an enimic reply, only saying that when Hav'roth would bless such a union.
