Elwahid – Sword of the Sands

Elwahid – Sword of the Sands

Male Human (Fighter, Ranger)

This dynamic Artifact showcases a hooded human swordsman braced against a harsh desert gale, his curved blade extended in a defensive yet ready stance. His billowing cloak, detailed waist sash, and layered leather armor project the rugged resilience of a veteran combatant seasoned by nomadic warfare. Keepers can naturally incorporate this miniature into their campaigns as a lethal mercenary captain, an elite wilderness tracker, or a charismatic duelist.

Tabletop Lore

A sellsword with a silver tongue and sharp wit. Elwahid was originally hired by the forces of Sultan Hakim during his siege of Hinatal, and was captured after the failed assault. With his natural charisma, he was able to persuade his Hinatali captors to release him from bondage, in exchange for five years of service as a blade to their city. The five years have almost passed, but Elwahid has come to love the city as his own, and has little desire to leave when his tenure ends.

Highlight

The low, wide-legged combat stance combined with the dramatic, wind-swept motion of his heavy cloak gives this figure an exceptional sense of balance and physical momentum on the grid.

Encounter Insight

Deploy Elwahid in tight alleyways, treacherous dune passes, or as an unexpected reinforcement during an urban skirmish. His martial posture makes him an ideal choice for fast-paced skirmishes where he can use defensive parries, quick blade work, and high-mobility maneuvers to outmaneuver overconfident adversaries.
