Silifi of Crimson Stars
Wari al Sha'im was a follower of Musansayn, and helped the renowned leader stake out a homeland among the mesas and dunes of western Osteth. When peace came, however, Wari chose to leave: he had been a fighting man for nearly forty years, and could live no other life. He bade his master farewell and struck out across the trackless sands of the A'mun Desert. He took only a few possessions with him: his scale armor, his shield, and the Silifi of Crimson Stars.
The Silifi was an ancient artifact from the Gharu'ndim homeland, having once belonged to the Malika Ladriya bint Daum. Known by its scarlet markings, it was swift and sharp, and it crackled with the electricity of a slumbering storm. Wari won it from a renegade Shayk in his youth, and carried it with him all his life. He is said to have lost the weapon at last in a dungeon deep beneath the sands, where he finally met his doom. The Silifi surely remains in those depths, awaiting a new wielder with the courage to bring it back to the sunlit lands.
