Tamit's page

Tamit is from a very minor noble family living in an oasis far from the cities of Yar-Ammon. Even when the worship of the Beast Gods was outlawed they continued their worship in secret and such turned out to be their downfall.
Tamit herself was always drawn to the worship of the Beast Gods, especially to the Lion headed Goddess known to her family as Sekhmet. Like her mother and grandmother before her, she had chosen the path of the Priestess (Druid), the warrior defender of her people.

She was 16 when disaster struck. Somehow, the fact that her people still worshiped the Beast Gods came to the attention of the court and it was decided that they'd make a good example. Low enough in status so that no important friends were insulted, high enough in status to send the message that none were above the law.

Her entire family was condemned to death and all of the local community condemned to slavery. It was only by luck that Tamit was out with Benumau (her lioness companion) when the forces of the Royal House struck. She was the only one from her entire community to escape "justice"

Tamit fled from Yar-Ammon and since has led a hard hand to mouth existence. She has managed to find employment with the caravans of Khazistan, acting as some combination of animal handler, guide and warrior as required. Her lioness friend is as much a hindrance to her finding employment as it is help. She is a valuable fighter but who would trust a lioness not to attack them in their sleep?

She conceals as much as she can possibly can her magic abilities since she knows that people fear anybody who can use magic.

She conceals her gender as she is in a world where a woman alone is in far more danger than a man alone.

Tamit likes to think of herself as a hard bitten person who is quite happy with just the company of Benamau. A person who doesn't care for others very much, a more or less honest person who keeps her commitments.
The truth is that, unknown to herself, she is DESPERATELY lonely and unhappy. She has lost her whole family and been forced to make her own way in the world. She has nobody to trust except her lioness friend.

She is actually a fairly kind person. This is very obvious in the way that she treats animals. Although she tries to hide it, she can also sometimes be spotted being kind to children or even other people.

She is firmly and completely devoted to Benamau and readily risks her life for her. Benamau is, in turn, firmly and completely devoted to Tamit. They are partners, blood sisters, comrades, family.

Tamit is very obviously a Yar-Ammonite. Tall, slender, bronze skinned, with black eyes. She constantly wears her crocodile hide armour and usually carries her wooden shield. She covers her armour and her remaining limbs with well made and clean linen clothing.
Although she bears the scabbard for a Khopesh she currently does not actually possess one, having been forced to sell hers awhile back (70 gp doesn't go very far :-().

Masquerading as a male, she keeps her hair cut short and her armour fairly tightly bound. Fortunately, she is slender and so keeping her breasts concealed isn't a huge problem.

Benamau is dressed in a leather harness that acts as armour.

She normally presents a fairly grim facade to others, discouraging others from getting close
