Zareen the Thirsting

Zareen the Thirsting is a fearsome tabaxi rogue, leading her crew of dune pirates across the sun-scorched sands of the desert aboard a modified ship, capable of gliding over the dunes on magical skids. Her sand-colored fur allows her to blend into her surroundings, making her a master of stealth and ambush. The loss of her left ear is a stark reminder of the dangers on the high dunes, but she wears it like a badge of honor, her ferocity unmatched. Zareen thrives in the thrill of raiding, expertly orchestrating attacks on unsuspecting caravans as they traverse the scarce landscape. Despite her sadistic nature, she follows a strict code passed down through her ancestors: they take only water, maps, and luxuries—never food or medicine. This twisted sense of honor is deeply ingrained in her, as she believes the act of leaving travelers dry is an assertion of power in a land where water is life. Zareen takes pleasure in the suffering of others, enjoying the desperate pleas of those she leaves parched. Her necklace of empty vials represents those settlements she has drained of their life source, a morbid trophy of her exploits. Sadistically clever and treacherous, Zareen seeks to expand her domain of terror, using her cunning and charm to manipulate allies and enemies alike.
