A large curved dagger (the khanjar) dangles from his belt, while he usually holds two long and lightly-curved shamshirs in his hands, ever at the ready.At rest, Shamal's visage softens considerably. His piercing eyes soften, relaxing to a light shade of hazel. His hair is dark and long, and his mouth is welcoming in a smile. His skin is weathered from long exposure to the elements and belies his youth.Backstory: Jarrah abu Fishan was still young when the tribe came across the four strangers in the Empty Quarter as they travelled from the coast to Wadi al Qahfi for the monsoon season. The Sheikh refused the four strangers all succour, as there were few supplies and there were many miles to go across unchecked sands. Jarrah looked upon the pitiable sun-scorched bodies of the strangers and disobeyed the order of his Sheikh, as he believed that the duty of hospitality compelled him to provide aid and support to any guest in need. He brought the strangers to his tent and shared his small rations of food and water, and to cheer them, recited poetry honoring the greatness of the Djinn who guided the Bedouin through the desert and then performed al-Razha, rhythmically beating his hand drum and dancing. In return, the strangers kept Jarrah up late into the night with tales of the glory and honor of the past.Waking the next day, Jarrah did not see the four strangers nor to where they departed. The Sheikh was angry with Jarrah, and forbade all the Bedouin from sharing their supplies with Jarrah; for Jarrah's insolence, he was ordered to scout ahead of the caravan with only one gourd of water. As night fell and Jarrah was well ahead of the tribe, Jarrah heard what sounded like musical notes on the north wind as it carried over the dunes.  Jarrah followed the sounds until he came to a small rocky outcropping in the dunes, and a cave in the outcropping. In the cave, he saw a flickering light, and he went in, only to find the four strangers around a small campfire.  As they saw him, one of the strangers rose and smiled at Jarrah."You gave of yourself to strangers, as the old ways require. You asked nothing of us, not even our names. Jarrah, I am Rabb al-Raml."Jarrah was stunned; how could this man name himself after the desert djinn? But Jarrah quickly saw in the cave's light that these strangers were not ordinary men, but the four djinn- Raml, Wahah, Ramda, and Zawba'a.The desert djinn continued, "We had come to warn the Fishan of the storm that was approaching, but your Sheikh refused us and your tribe has turned on its ways. Only you followed your fate. We cannot save those who refuse us, Jarrah."Jarrah did not understand the words' import, but realized that there was now a howling sound outside the cave. He went to the entrance and was blasted by the ungodly force of winds beyond his memory whipping up the sands, making it impossible to see or move beyond the cave.  When Jarrah went back in, he saw the campfire, ample supplies of food and water, and a khanjar marked with the symbol of Rabb al-Rami.The storm lasted four days, and after it lifted Jarrah could find no trace of the Fishan among the countless dunes. He had no tribe. Jarrah took the khanjar and pledged an oath to Rabb al-Rami.  He was no longer Jarrah abu Fishan, but Shamal, the storm of the north.[/Spoiler]Edited 6.17.25- Updated equipment (ran costs, corrected)6.26- sending stone7/11- 4th level (dual feat selected), 7/17 corrected dex save</blockquote>
