Arfi-em-khet's page

Arfi-em-khet's fur is sun-bleached and wind-scoured, blending with the desert he calls home. His eyes glow faintly with the essence of aeons-old sandstorms. Tribal beads and ancient bone charms clatter from his braided mane, marking him as both warrior and ward.

Arfi-em-khet serves as the last Sentinel of a sacred desert—an unyielding protector of its forgotten tombs, ancestral rites, and enduring traditions. When despoilers come with picks, scrolls, or arcane greed, he responds not with speeches, but with storms.

Harnessing kinetic sand infused with the memories of his people, he becomes a living bulwark against those who would desecrate what time itself dares not erase. His command of sand is not merely elemental—it is cultural, spiritual, and sacred.

Arfi-em-khet values tradition over innovation. He distrusts most outsiders, but will grudgingly ally with those who show genuine reverence. He remembers old hymns, burial rites, and tribal stories lost even to his kin.

Quotes:

These sands remember. You, however, will be forgotten.

Your maps and books mean nothing. You walk upon bones and call it discovery.

I am the storm that guards the stillness.
