[QUOTE="arma_virumque_cano, post: 1127234, member: 14284"] Haradoth's tale: Born Alzier Kabnith, Haradoth has sought the transformation to Mojh for unusual reasons, leaving his path confused. A large man of the southern Vale, Alzier found solid work as a soldier for the southern caravans and guard to the wealthier nobles and merchants. Strong armed but lacking in skill, Alzier often lost focus, dreaming quite often of the fair women who travelled with the wealthy lords he protected. In an act of youthful folly, he bed one nobleman's daughter early on a campaign across the Vale. By the time the caravan neared the mark of full crossing to the West, months had passed making clear that the woman was with child. Fearing her father's reprisal, the woman claimed Alzier had forced himself upon her, a claim he denied, and that she had been too ashamed to speak of such beforehand. Alzier fled, but found it impossible to out run the heavy price placed upon his head. In desperation he sought refuge among an isolated enclave of Mojh, swore fealty to their scared rites while committing himself to the transformation process. Alzier was never a true believer, but lack of faith has no bearing on the mental transformation of the process. Reborn Haradoth, he is no longer the man who sought simple escape in the ritual shedding of his human flesh. Seeing through eyes that are no longer human and no longer male while comprehending with a mind more astute in the arts of puzzle and preparation, Haradoth quickly gave in to the feelings of inferiority and taint with which he associated his past actions had brought upon the enclave. Now able to see dozens of other, more clear solutions, Haradoth cannot understand why his human self would have chosen such a path unless he secretly desired the process. Yet his memories do not bear this out--at leats not yet. Memories are such fluid entities that with each passing day the memories of Alzier becomes ever more shaded in the light of Haradoth. Still, the Mojh is a confused wanderer, not comfortable even with his own. He keeps to the night, where he is comfortable, knowing that both minds prize isolation. He has come to take on tasks that require muscle and cover darkness. As susch, he has remained on the edge of what is legal and moral, but has become too consumed with his own inner turmoil to give it much thought. Haradoth is careful in picking his tasks. He prefers those on a par with himself so that he can quickly weaken or destroy them with his breath weapon before engaging them with his spears. Few expect a Mohj to be as ready for hand-to-hand combat as he is, and he tries to make the most this advantage. While he has studied the principles of magic, at this time he is no more adept at spell casting than any grunt soldier. Yet, with his Mojh self becoming ascendant, this seems destined to change.
