Wiki Wednesday: Raptara "The Brother" . 22

Hi everyone,

We are back! With a brand new Wiki-Wednesday, and this time it coincides with a new release later this week! It is no other than the member of the Scorpions of Nusra: Raptara.

Raptara is the hot-headed brother of the well-known assassin Zarghana "The Assassin". Raptara is seen as the apprentice-leader of the Scorpions of Nusra but he still has to do a lot before he can call himself the Scorpion leader. Bazaz-si-dahi and his scorpion pet are ready to retire and pass it on to the new generation. Definitely in the wake of a new dark cult who is infesting the heart of the jagradian king...

 Do you think he is up for the task?

In this Wiki Wednesday we will fly to the east to learn something about the Empire of Jagrad and the warlocks of Armurad!

--------------------------------------------

Background

Raptara was born in the city of Armurad in the Empire of Jagrad in the year 186. Raptara grew up in a poor family in the suburbs of this great magical city where the warlocks rule and are named master. In the year 189 his sister – Zarghana – was born, as the second child of the family. Unfortunately for both children, tragedy struck when Raptara and Zarghana’s father died while building one of the city’s major temples. Raptara’s mother became a sad broken woman, filled with sadness and despair, but she tried, as best she could, to give her children a good childhood.

One day, when Raptara and Zarghana were still children, Raptara decided to steal from the temple of Armurad to supply the family with much needed food, but he was caught in the deed by one of the feared warlocks of Armurad. Just as he was about to be punished by the old warlock of Armurad, Zarghana came jumping in and pushed the old man in the back, over the battlements of the wall. The old man fell of the temple wall and died a quick death.

The guards of the temple found the body on the ground and in no time they caught the perpetrators. Instead of killing the children, they decided to sell the children to some of the slave traders in Armurad. The traders were heading to the Tell-cities in the south of the empire where they would be sold to merchants as slaves and forced to work for the rest of their still young lives.

After several weeks of travelling through the hot desert, just a few miles from the city of Jagrad, the group was attacked in the night by a group of assassins called “The Scorpions of Nusra”. All slave traders were killed except the slave children of Raptara and Zarghana. They were given the choice to join the Scorpions by the Scorpions leader Bazaz-si-dahi or suffer the same fate as the slave traders lying on the ground besides them, choking in their own blood. Raptara and Zargahan decided to join the group of rogues.

From that day on, Zarghana and her brother Raptara were trained in the secret skills of the Scorpions by Bazaz and the other Scorpions.

Raptara and Zarghana were assigned an important task by Bazaz-si-dahi in the year 218 in which they had to travel beyond their usual working area. They were assigned a task from the dreaded Night’s Cult in which they had to travel to the City of Eros.

Raptara represents the power of the mighty scorpions pincers. With his pure strength he is a fearsome killer in the night.
