[COR-FB1] The Sheikh comes!

[CelesAurivern]

Sheikh Khalid is a very wealthy gemstone merchant from the Western Regions.

Being so very rich, he opts to travel in style in his personal palanquin, powered by four manservants, whenever in the city.

And being so very very rich, the vehicle is adorned with gold trimmings and an interior covered in the finest, most expensive fabrics.

Of course, being so very very very rich, one cannot possibly walk around without adequate protection. (50-man entourage omitted for sensibility reasons)

He is guarded at all times, by his captain of the guard, Saddam, a master of the spear, as well as his four menservants who are actually well-trained bodyguards.

Nice build Celes, you are introducing a new character with a lot of potential (especially for any passing Sea Rats! ).

But how does the Sheikh fit into BoBS? What are his plans in New Terra? A bit more story would be good.

An interesting character to see included - I like the cultural diversity we are starting to see. The palanquin is great, although it looks very heavy, and I sort of think the story is adequate, as it leaves us wondering - wanting more!

I've actually posted a bit more story in Lenny's main thread, but it got consumed by the month end avalanche :p

Nice, although as Bregir notes it looks alitte heavy - I feel a bit sorry for the manservents!

I think some detailing on the base, like some scattered plates or tiles or maybe even a small building facade would really make this build standout. I look forward to following the Sheikh Khalid's story!
