Week One, Night [1/5] - Hours Left [00/00]You have him make his mark on a slip of old dry paper you found after rummaging around in your hut for a few minutes before sending him on his way. You pocket the piece of paper and pray that nothing bad comes of this.
The sun sets on this busy day, and your men relax as darkness falls at last over the windswept sands.
It is now nighttime. Use this time to talk to your men and ask any questions you might have. You can end nighttime and move on to the next day whenever you want to.Just after the sun goes down, a rider atop a chestnut brown horse earnestly arrives. He is clad in a modest yellow robe highlighted by his silk white vest and wearing a checkered red and white headdress. He drops nimbly from his horse just outside of your hut and strides confidently to the door to greet you. You shake his light brown hand, noticing his handsome, freshly shaven features and lean build. He doesn't bother to smooth the mop of rich black hair that is revealed as you invite him inside and he removes his headdress. He flashes you a smile, clean and white, lopsided, only adding to his already roguish air. His voice has a hint of amusement in it as if he were talking to an old friend he hadn't seen in some time.
Good evening Captain, my name is Silan. I am your station liaison. How was your first day? Any trouble with the merchants? I talked to a few of them on my way out here and they seemed a bit put-off. He laughs in a breathless sort of way.
Typical behavior of course. These rich fools think that being clever with money makes them untouchable. He pats the short-barreled laspistol hung at his hip.
At least until you point a gun in their face. Then they're falling all over themselves trying to buy their way out of a beam to the skull. You blanch mentally. He sounds just a bit too familiar with that particular subject..

Name: Azdna Shey
Gender: Female
Appearance: Standing as tall as most men and with wiry muscles hiding beneath her skin of deep-bronze, not many suspect Azdna as female on the first glance. Her deeply inset pair of amber eyes is always ringed with black mascara - obviously needed in such a hostile environment. The smallish nose and lips might create a sense of womanly charm, were it not for the near-constant frown of the eyebrows that dissipate them from doing so. Reaching over the shoulderblades, her coalen hair is finely braided in a multitude of strands - and bound with a strip of leather, as not to impede in combat.
Background: Hailing from the streets of the sultanates capital, Azdna made her hardy living as cutpurse, take-and-run, occasional burglary - you name it. A small clash of daggers with a fellow street-urchin somehow acquired her the interest of a merchant, who after a few weeks of gauging and gaining her loyalty (mostly through meals, mind her), set her up as his daughters' private guard - not trusting men to do so in fear of possible tarnish. After one was successfully and honorably married of some years later, the same merchant got Azdna a place with the guards. Let's just say that her insight and somewhat underhanded methods of fighting and going about things gave rise to some sort of recognition. Not one that did her good, with things being as they are now.
