Halul Saar
The blessed child of a small tribe caught up in a war beyond their scope and potential inheritor of immense wealth and power.
Appearance
Halul is a stringy whipcord of a young man with tousled hair often swept back. Taking from his mother, he has long lashes, strong bones, and his face carries hard lines that create harshness in his expressions. He is skinny enough for his ribs to be counted but not nearly as desiccated as the tribesmen and women of lower castes. Like all Inheritors, Halul underwent a grueling ritual that blessed him with a bounty of strength; one could follow the gathering and ripples of taut muscle beneath his leathery skin.
Most notably, the whites of his eyes have taken a blue hue and his irises the color of the clear sky.

Skills and Abilities
Halul was raised with a privileged background and received tutelage from the greatest men and women of his tribe. Prior to undergoing an Inheritor's ritual, Halul's education had been deep and, by his early teens was a formidable warrior.
Surviving the Inheritor's ritual blessed him with enhanced agility and strength, along with a special boon. Halul has the simple ability to nullify magic completely with his touch. An Inheritor's eyes are special and bestow greatly improved visual acuity onto Halul.
Like all saltborn men and women, Halul can sustain himself on a minimal amount of food and water and has a strong resistance to hotter climates. He is rather sensitive to the cold.

Personality
Kindhearted and just, honest and brave. Halul's actions are driven by a strong will and ambition to save his tribe from destruction. A young man forced to carry the fate of many on his shoulders, he sticks his chest out and trudges forward one step at a time.
Biography & Lore
Born within a small tribe of the Stilt, a region located where vast salt flats span Amol-Kalit, Halul was worshiped as a blessed child from the moment his mother pushed him out. To the tribes, rain and water are sacred, and children born during rainfall are raised as potential Inheritors.
The tribes of the Stilt compete with their Inheritors to claim sovereignty over Karnassus, the only permanent city within the Stilt, where cool water runs from bountiful underground springs and vast oases.
In an attempt to secure allies for his fights to come, Halul sets out east to the mighty Empire in hopes of forging bonds.
