[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8363227, member: 6796468"] I love what you two have been throwing out, here. Let's see... [I]Teerka of Khufu, born of the waves, daughter of Kyran and Ellenici, with skin as gold and hair dark and twisting as Cobra's Soil, guides the Adrash Ka-tep, the Seekers of Death. In the chronicles of her life she fought the Sorcerer-King of Kletos, The Necromancer Tzo-Staag, beside her sister, Xrione, who fell to the cruel sorceries of their foe. It took years to recover from the loss, to put her sister's animate corpse to rest, eternal. And to raise her army. Born of the sands of Annam, the Adrash Ka-tep are drawn from the Secret Keepers, the fallen cities of the Desert, from Pirates of the Khufu, and even Scorpion-Lands bandits indebted to Teerka of Khufu. Together they rose up and smote the armies of the dead under Tzo-Staag's command, and set their remains to dust in the sands of Annam. But Tzo-Staag was not so swiftly defeated, and retreated to Kletos, fled the Annam. The Adrash Ka-tep continue to fight against the dead in the deserts, upon the seas. Their numbers grow with each passing season. And it will not be long before they set sail for Kletos in the Ellenici isles, to raze Tzo-Staag and all he holds to the afterlife.[/I] -The Chronicler- Kind of putting her victories later in her life, after a fashion. I also like the idea that she was born at sea, somewhere between Ellenici and Kyran, as her parents traveled. She does her tomb-raiding with, and loses, her sister. Tries to build up a new life. Fights and slays her sister's corpses, and turns around to build an army from the friends she made from Musarra to Il'sha-ah in her journeys to battle against Tzo-Staag's encroachment in the deserts near Arat-Shi, including Secret Keepers who work with Teerka to keep the Necromancer from unearthing terrible things within the desert. In personal combat, she defeats Tzo-Staag, but can't -quite- get the kill on him, probably because of Lichdom, so he flees back to his homeland in the Ellenici Archipelago. Teerka can't field enough of a force to take him on at his own isle, so she keeps building her army in Annam and points East, gathering bandits and merchants and so forth... Maybe a part of an adventure could be heroes helping to slay Tzo-Staag, leaving Teerka the throne of Kletos as a culmination of her story? Could be fun. [/QUOTE]
