Sorcerer Kazem of the Sands (#8327)

Owner: 0xd9Eb…64b5

Sorcerer Kazem of the Sands

Origins

The Sands is known for its unforgiving sandstorms, and its impossibly dry conditions. This is where Kazem was raised, or half-raised one should say. He didn't mind The Sands, or perhaps had just gotten used to them. Being an orphan since he was barely considered a youth, Kazem had learned how to navigate the landscape. On long journeys throughout the unforgiving desert, he always kept his family heirloom close by; a rune of water. Having generations of family that had lived through the hardships of The Sands, the rune of water was surely the reason Kazem was alive today (or even born for that matter). With the rune in hand, summoning water in the driest of times in The Sands was significantly less draining on a wizard, and made getting lost in a sandstorm remarkably less dangerous. It also made keeping his lifelong companion alive a lot easier - his sun cat. Sun cats are rumored to have lived in The Sands longer than anyone, but even they can have trouble finding moisture in a sandstorm that seemingly never ends. Sun cats are lightly colored and are extremely tough to spot in the desert. It isn't really known whether they are colored like the sand, or the constant beating of sandstorms makes their fur that way. Regardless, Kazem didn't take too kindly to the company of other travelers in The Sands, so he didn't mind using his staff to conjure up enough water for the both of them.

Kazem is revered for wielding the Staff of Courage, a coveted staff amongst wizards. Legend has it that just over one hundred and fifty wizards have earned the Staff of Courage. Kazem is one of just two tricksters that have earned the staff. While Kazem would never boast of the journey that resulted in his earning of the staff, stories have been whispered for ages of the events that led up to the staff revealing itself to him in the Secret Tower.

But that, is a tale for another day..
