Notable Deeds:
Conquerors of the Great Wastes - The Vrrta were the first clan in seven cycles to unite the Desertkin beneath a single banner. While some victories came through conquest, many clans came to the Vrrta willingly when they offered the waters of peace to struggling families. Auspicious rains and winds in recent seasons blessed the Vrrta, providing them with the resources to care for their ever-growing flock.
Spinners of Faelglass - This “desert iron” is rarely found in nature and the secrets of its shaping are known to precious few outside of the Great Wastes. To the Vrrta, the creation of faelglass is a time-honored tradition, one backed by both ceremony and practicality. The brown, semi-translucent glass is hard, sharp, and light, making it perfect for swift strikes masked by swirling sands. Faelglass is also the Vrrta’s greatest export, for there are those who will pay much for the artfully crafted material.
Sandseers - The Vrrta purport to be blessed with the gift of prophecy. The trails left in the sand by serpents can be read by those with the proper training and who were born under certain stars. Some attribute the Vrrta's political and military successes to this “talent,” though few are privileged enough to bear witness to its execution. The Sandseers are heavily guarded in Vrrta society, showing that even if they lack the ability to discern fate, they possess enough cultural significance to be worth guarding.
Past Warriors of Note:
Mertu-losso-kamal-talavaar (Mertu-losso, Blade of the Lily) [Human Fighter] — Mertu-losso ascended to the rank of legend when he single-handedly felled a wing of Ulasa-vansh with but two chakram by his side. Those few who bore witness to Mertu-losso’s bloody deed report that he wept as he fought, saddened that the protection of his clan demanded such horrid loss of life. When Vrrta reinforcements finally arrived, Mertu-losso alone stood conscious among the bodies. Yet through the carnage, his tears watered the sand and grew desert lilies both beautiful and sad. To this day, the greatest fighters of the Vrrta are given the title “Blade of the Lily” in his honor.
Fastra-ulsa-ret-chepar (Fastra-ulsa, Sculptor of the Sands) [Half-Elven Druid] — Fastra-ulsa hid her talent in her early life, remaining a devoted servant of her sand sculptor masters and a faithful adherent to the Laws of the Desert. Yet when the Vrrta were threatened by an invasion of beast-men from beyond the sands, Fastra-ulsa revealed her true power. When all others cowered, Fastra-ulsa beseeched the sands to swallow the defilers of the desert, and the desert answered her call. When she turned to apologize to her masters for her impertinence, she found them bowing to her instead. “It is not our titles that define us Fastra-ulsa,” spoke her awe-struck teacher, "but the measure by which our hearts mirror the desert.” Her teachings are still taught to apprentice sand shapers today.
Wehi-sile-saan-kasad (Wehi-sile, Butcher of Snakes) [Half-Orc Barbarian] — The Vrrta once admired Wehi-sile, a fearsome warrior and master of the bari-chakram. Though her honor was long unquestioned, a day came when the Sandseers revealed her inevitable betrayal of the clan. In protest, Wehi-sile denounced the Sandseers, but their visions had never led the clan astray before. In defiance, Wehi-sile conquered the neighboring clans in the name of the Vrrta, but the Sandseers remained convinced of her evil. In kindness, Wehi-sile gave her wealth and water to the poorest of the clan, but even generosity soured the clan against her and soon she had nothing. In the end, she sold the secrets of Vrrtish faelglass to Relsi-vansh for food and shelter, and the Sandseers proclaimed her betrayal complete. She was named Butcher of Snakes, a traitor to the Vrrta.
Kolso-etri-ret-dekhan (Kolso-etri, Sandseer) [Dwarven Sorcerer] — In the writhing of the hooded cobra, Kolso-etri saw the shadow of a demon fall over the lands of the Vrrta-vansh. Speaking to no others of the impending doom, Kolso-etri left only a carved snakeskin to tell of his mission. He walked to the edge of the desert, near the cold stones of the mountains. There, in the shade of the grim peaks, lay a wounded warrior of Olto-vansh, a sworn enemy of the clan, and a dying woman of Vrrta-vansh, beautiful and pleading for a savior. In the cold light of the morning, he knew what he must do. He slew the woman and rescued the enemy, knowing how the demon would tempt his flesh to ruin. As he walked away, the dead woman’s flesh bubbled and scabbed, revealing the demon within. Yet when Kolso-etri returned home with an enemy in his embrace and the blood of the clan on his blades, can it be said that no demon entered that day?
