DAZULKA WHITE TUSK

Shaman of Clan Armageddon

N Half-Orc Druid 15

    Dazulka White Tusk is a true child of the plains.  Born on the rolling prairies of the Shaar far to the south, Dazulka took up the mantle of the ancient druidic faith at a very young age.  By her teenage years, she was already one of the wisest medicine women of her tribe.

    The young half-orc loved nothing more than to take the form of the plainshawk and soar over the Shaar for hours on end, riding the thermals and exploring all across the breadth of her homeland.

    On one such occasion, the druid came across a small band of adventurers fighting off a much larger force of bandit raiders.  Recognizing the raiders as the same group that had been harrying her own tribe, Dazulka swooped into the middle of the fray, shifting into the form of a great she-lion and turning the tide of battle in favor of the small band.

    When the fighting ended, the adventurers thanked her for her help, and explained that they were in the region hunting Quddusiyyah, the queen of all manticores.  Dazulka immediately offered her assistance, for the opportunity to slay the greatest scourge of her people was something she could not let pass.

    The band hunted the manticore for several days, finally coming upon her lair.  After a lengthy battle with the fell creature and her offspring, only three remained- Bastian the Sword-Saint, Gorragh Armageddon and Dazulka herself.

    The three went on to form the core of several other adventuring companies over the years, travelling throughout the breadth of the Shaar, Chessenta, Unther, Mulhorand and even into Thay.

    In the course of time, Dazulka and Gorragh retired together to the half-orc barbarian's homeland of Vaasa.  As a druid of the plains, Dazulka was naturally drawn to the open beauty of the tundra of her new husband's ancestral home.  She began to teach her faith to her adopted tribe, becoming the Shaman of clan Armageddon, and remains a revered figure among her people to this day.
