Meet Sāhir Dunesoul, leader of the Dunesoul Clan, an ancient and elusive people dwelling in the far east of Varga. For generations, the Dunesoul Clan has remained isolated, preferring to avoid the conflicts that have plagued Varga. Their gates were closed, their support withdrawn, as they watched the world’s struggles from afar.
However, when news reached Sāhir of Atlan’s rebellion against the tyrant King Harlod, he saw an opportunity for a better future. Recognizing that cooperation would bring greater prosperity than isolation for his people, Sāhir and Atlan forged a powerful alliance, reopening the Dunesoul Clan’s doors to the world upon Atlan’s ascendancy.
The Dunesoul Clan are masterful sandbenders capable of shaping the very sands beneath their feet. Their unique abilities allow them to construct resilient structures that surpass the durability of most architectural techniques. They can also transform sand into razor-sharp shards of glass, turning the desert itself into a formidable weapon.
Among the clan’s many talents, Sāhir stands above the rest as the first to develop an advanced technique known as “Mirage Clone.” This ability allows him to create perfect, life like duplicates of himself or anything he lays eyes upon and imagins. However, cloning sentient beings comes at a cost that being the user’s energy is evenly divided among each clone. The more clones created, the more the user’s energy and power are spread thin.
Yet, Sāhir’s mastery of this technique sets him apart. Unlike others, he can precisely control the energy allocation to his sentient clones, sacrificing their longevity in exchange for preserving his own strength and energy. This level of precision makes Sāhir not only a formidable warrior but also a visionary leader, wielding both strategy and power in equal measure.
