Bahramiyah al-Musafir
Bahramiyah al-Musafir
oversees the great caravans that bring
weapons from the great forges of Hiyal to Qudra. She
has done so for 40 years. While Qudran steel is good,
Hiyal's is superior, and each mamluk unit seeks to arm
its best forces with Hiyal's weapons. Today, Bahramiyah
is a grumbling old woman. The day-to-day business of
selling steel has been taken over by her sons and
daughters, but she still makes the annual journey to
Hiyal and back, traveling by camel and sambuq.
