During a border skirmish with Thyatis, the riders were driven deep into the desert and Nafije and other camp followers were claimed as slaves of Thyatis. This course of events is meant to excise her from Ylaruam and give her a reason to travel. Remaining a slave is meant to illustrate a person who follows tradition and suffers setbacks with dignity. I also thought it would be cool to be seeking treasure in order to buy her freedom, as opposed to ale and whores and +2 backscratchers. I don't intend to make her a lone wolf! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />Here's what I have so far for linking Nafije to your various characters-Cassi: Nafije's master did business with Mikel and Cassi, and always sent Nafije to meet with them. Nafije would come and see them every few weeks during the summer and spring, catch up on what's been happening in Darokin and despondently take news on Ylaruam. I think that eventually Nafije was entertaining Cassi's kids with her yellow-and-blue macaw, Goldie, and reading stories to them, but that's up to you!Barook: Depending on how long ago Barook left Thyatis, we may have met there when Nafije was first enslaved. I think Nafije and Barook may have faced the same sort of prejudices, and Nafije may have been there as a friend.Swords of Darokin: It sounds like the Swords are becoming an old group with a rotating membership. How about if, 30 or so years ago, Nafije's master was one of the Swords of Darokin? The master no longer has time for his old friends, and most of those men have retired or perished, but the master corresponds with the Swords via Nafije (who's starting to wear out her shoes at this point), and sometimes spares her to help them.</blockquote>
