Zaharak The Unburned

The Wilderlands of Absalom

Zaharak's company had fought the goblins and beasts to a standstill at the Battle of Autark. Calling on the few surviving warriors to make one last effort, Zaharak prepared them for a final, doomed, charge.

But then the Anchorite Priestess Sylanna arrived, bearing a missive from the Scarlet Prince. It was Sylanna herself, rather than the silken words on the Prince's scroll that convinced him.

Zaharak lead the Prince's troops that following dawn, to a victory neither could have attained on their own. As reward Zaharak accepted an amnesty from the Prince, gold, and the service of Sylanna. He has now joined a band of Conquerors that will be pacifying the west on behalf of the Princes.

Perhaps in time Zaharak will return to marshal the Prince's troops....or lead a rebellion against him.
