I am Gharu'ndim...

We Gharu'ndim are desert dwelling traders, by nature, but I chose another route due to a destiny I was born to fulfill while on Dereth.

I was born in the desert town of Samsur, son of Zod ibn Skartahk. Born to seek vengeance, trained to deal it in many ways.

Beware those who think that I can be taken advantage of, for they will not remain within my presence for long. Instant action is taken on those who betray me...or my Guild Family..."The Brothers of the SHARK". My word is my bond, and my loyalty to my "Brethren" is indisputable. All Hail the Brothers of the SHARK!

Zod-Tu Punisher, my Sho blood brother, makes a living with trade skills others are simply worthless without. He fletches arrows with the utmost care, and can brew a potion that will not only heal you, but give you great vigor, and refresh the mind as well. He is truly a great help to others in the land of Dereth. What he lacks in combat skills, he more than makes up for with his Fletching, and Alchemic wonders. I once witnessed him picking up a pile of sticks, and in less that one minute, crafted them into arrows that makes any archer into a master warrior.

Ragnarok, a son of my father's hunting partner (Garneth Triden), is from the Osteth region of Dereth. He is Aluvian, and proud of it. He is a proficient archer to say the least. He is a man of few words, but to see him in combat, is something to behold for the average warrior. Ragnarok takes pride in not having to go through the pain and misery of collecting his soul at the lifestone largely due to Punisher ibn Zod casting the highest caliber enchantments on his armor and weapon. Ragnarok, at the moment, is still dabbling in the arcane arts, still a ways off from becoming a master. His bow skill makes up for his lack of arcane skills, in spades. He is as deadly as the bow he has crafted with his bare hands.

Some of the times spent in Dereth, fighting to rid the land of treachery - Heeding the call of Asheron! Hail the Brothers of the SHARK!! Best Guild on Morningthaw, Bar None!!

Preparing for the hunt in my acquired Shadow Hunter Armor (Right), and another time, in my Exarch Plate (Left), getting ready to head to my favorite hunting grounds...The Obsidian Plains.

Both types of armor were quest items to which I owe my guild a debt for their help in attaining both sets.

Here I stand...enjoying some solitude by watching a sweet sunset, after a long and arduous hunt on the deadly Obsidian Plains. My targets for this eve were packs of Umbris shadow and their brethren, the red eyed and faceless devil spawn of Baelz'eron himself.

My friend to the end, Ragnarok, posing with his first Diamond Golem kill. He told me later that this enemy took almost 35 direct hits to bring down. Later, Ragnarok confided in me that he was close to losing his life several times from this most worthy opponent...only his cunning, and tactics saved him from a trip to the lifestone.

Here I am in the depths of the Incunubula Vault, searching for what was rumored to be the Olthoi Queen. My thorough search turned up absolutely no evidence of the new Queen, and it also turned into a slaughter of hundreds of these Olthoi Soldiers.

--The Tenebrous Edge Precept--

Respect those who are stronger. Those who are weaker need guidance.
Be wary of those you do not know, but remain polite. They may be useful.
Honor the land, the sky and sea, for they give you life.
Take pride in your strength and skill.
Avoid that which is impure.
Harming an innocent without proper cause is a waste of your time.
Place the life of your superior above your own, as long as he is strong. If he weakens, you must replace him.
When you take vengeance, be swift and thorough.
Speak with respect and discretion. A loose tongue weakens your defenses.
Think before you strike, but always be prepared to strike.
Living to fight another day is preferable to dying uselessly.
Wealth does not last, but your reputation will outlive you.
