Party member and author of these notes (David O)



My family, mother (Sultana), father and two younger sisters were all still alive when I last heard from them. They are a middle class jewellery traders who live within a small settlement in the deserts to the south of Hournox. The work is built on the safe transport of jewels across the desert. The main threat is finding your away across. There are not many thugs or thieves. The family have a 3 servants. I have helped with book keeping for the business and left to join my uncle in Hornoux to learn more about trade. This is my religion and my life.


I am very close to my family, but I am closest to the middle sister  Dalia who is very bright and wishes to learn magic, but if I don't return, then as the next eldest she will have to abandon this dream and work on the family business.


The youngest sister is Mena, she is a very pampered little girl. She would not survive 5 minutes without the family to support her.


There is no family name. In the settlement everyone goes by their own names. My fathers name is Hakim, so the business is known as Hakims jewellery traders.


I want to go back because I don't believe that the business can survive without my input and without the business, then my family will starve. My fear is that my parents are on the streets begging , and these are the dreams that haunt me now.

The religion is vital to any traders in the desert. Think of them as a traders guild for the desert people. They take a 10% cut on all trade but ensure that there are no threats to traders from criminals etc.
