Thorn Claw

Background

A young boy named Harp grew up in a barbarian tribe in the near south, known as the Yavani. The tribe, based around a remote oasis, had little contact with the outside world, and few monsters crossed the surrounding desert; because of this, they had few hunters and no soldiers. Instead, they farmed the area, wove silks, and generally lived quiet lives.

This might have been fine, until the day a larger, more dangerous tribe discovered their presence. Amused, the Chatarus tribe decided to declare their command over the weaker Yavani, and demanded a tribute of food, silks, and slaves every year, lest they destroy the upstarts. The Yavani had no choice but to accede. The Chatarus sold their slaves to the Guild or kept them for servitude.

This had been going on for ten years, as Harp grew into a servile community. He did not stand idly by. He quietly trained himself, and when the raiders returned one year, he challenged their leader to single combat for the future of his tribe. The enemy leader, amused, ordered the boy shot down.

Harp was caught off-guard, but as the first arrow struck him in the side, he still struggled to reach the leader of the Chatarus and kill him. It was in that moment that he Exalted, Luna's Grace touching him. With a sudden burst of speed, he leapt onto the bandit's horse and crushed his windpipe. The Chatarus bandits froze, and as he turned towards them, they dropped their weapons and begged for mercy.

In honour of his victory, Harp took the name Thorn Fist, a reminder that battles are often needed, but represent a sacrifice on both sides. Thorn Fist took up the moloch as his totem, and now leads both the Yavani and the Chatarus tribes; the two have merged over the past couple of years into one slightly fractitious whole, with the Yavani learning aggression from the Chatarus, and the Chatarus learning mercy from the Yavani.
