Editing Wealth Of The World (section)

==The Player Characters==

Our PCs are a heroic band of bad-ass fighters, thieves, and other dangerous but useful folks. They're independant problem solvers for the Trade Bosses, and perhaps Bosses, merchants, or mercenaries in their own right.

===Active===

[[Fazoud ibn Fazoud]] is a short, round little fellow, always impeccably dressed in rich silks and brocades, with a fez perched jauntily atop his head. He sports a beautifully curled beard, waxed to an almost needle-like point, of which he is inordinately proud.. Fazoud grew up an orphan and a beggar on the streets of Baghdad, but by dint of his own efforts has made himself one of (he will most humbly assert) one of the greatest thieves in the world. That this is not yet public knowledge is one the greatest tragedies of the age, and one that he is determined to rectify.


[[Arash of Kashgar]] a renegade noble of Persia, betrayer and betrayed!!!





===InActive===

[[Argurios Kynos]] is the master of the [[Rabid Dogs]] (named after him), one of the nastiest bands of mercenaries to be found in central Asia. A cultured and urbane fellow in polite company, a devout Buddhist in the temple and a vicious killer of men on the battlfield, Argurios prides himself on his contradictions and the independence they give him. Prince Taktu keeps him on retainer, and has recently begun negotiations to have Argurios and the Dogs break the power of the Trade Bosses. The negotiations are secret and Taktu justifies Argurios' presence around court by pretending to arrange for Argurios to marry one of his bastards. If Argurios is successful in crushing the Trade Bosses, it might even happen.

[[Long Baji]], a noble magistrate of the country of Han. Long grew tired of the political maneuvering and the staleness of his official post as a magistrate of a middling-sized province. Desiring adventure and excitement, he convinced the Emperor of Han to release him from his duties and become a roving ambassador of Han, promising to return with stories of his travels and encounters. With his family's ancestral nine-ring saber, Wandering Sky, he walks the Silk Road in search of adventure.

[[Sabah bin Hakim]], visiting Persian noble in a tight spot. Sabah's father sent his youngest son to Prince Taktu's court ostensibly as a diplomat, but really just to keep the boy out of his hair and teach the little prick some manners. The first thing Sabah did upon arrival was to plow through the servant girls; then he moved on to all the nobleman's wives that were willing. Courtly life soon bored Sabah, and the young noble integrated himself into Kamul's criminal element. He soon fell in with Kynos and the Rabid Dogs. He likes the Buddhist's style and the way he carries his hypocracy unashamed. It seemed a natural thing for the two to hook up, a match made in hell. Sabah doesn't care for politics or courtly intrigue; like a true hedonist, he concerns himself with pleasure and excitement, both of which Kynos's employment brings plenty of. All was well, until word on the street got out that Sabah had killed one of Black Baldwin's leutenants. Fortunately, Sabah has an alibi; unfortunately, he was sleeping with Tatku's daughter [[Princess Amestris]] at the time the murder occurred. Sabah doesn't want to bring shame to his lover or draw the ire of [[Prince Taktu]] and her fiancee, [[Captain Amit]], but on the other hand, nobody can outrun [[Black Baldwin]] forever...
