Background & Overview
Sytaxl was raised by a greedy merchant from Den Ouluk to be a fighter in the brawl pits. Sytaxl made the merchant very wealthy, and she became something of a daughter to him. Now she is a Swordhand for hire, working with caravans and small mercenary groups to survive in the harsh desert. She still drops in on the merchant in Den Ouluk whenever she’s passing through.
- Will always consider Den Ouluk home.
- Doesn’t mind killing, so long as she’s paid.
