Biography & Lore
On the day that Cyra Nadya Al-Dushar was born, a drought ended for the city of Rhaqoum. The drought was not all that strange. However, what followed began the myth of Crya "the Rain Bringer". The city experienced 5 straight days of rain.
Even from an early age, the tribe recognized her beauty and delicately raised her as their "jewel". She was trained in the arts of magic, diplomacy, etiquette, and any other skills that could be useful to beguile those that visited the tribe. Of course, such a life may grow to annoy a young girl. One day, when she was 12, she ran off into the desert in a fit of rage from a fight with her father. The tribe looked everywhere for her, but could not find her. They feared they had lost her to the sands.
When she returned 1 month later, Cyra displayed new marks on her body. Her father originally thought she had been marked by some slavers and then escaped. It was quite the shock when she claimed in front of the whole tribe that she had met the great spirit, Dhukal, and that this was his mark to signify their bond. Shortly after, she began to display her new magical abilities. Slowly, as she began to grow comfortable with her earth and illusion magic, she was allowed to accompany her tribes' raiders.
Her father has recently grown sick, and Cyra worries that if he were to die the tribe would begin to use without any say from her in her own future. She did not have much to begin with, but at least her father tried to think of her feelings. Now, she plans to leave the tribe in the hopes of finding a cure and making a name for herself, without her tribe.
