As was proper in land dependent on wellbeing of the herds, he sacrificed a goat to sky gods on designated days. Of all the cardinal sins the only one nobody could accuse him of was slothfulness - people of Ili knew how to enjoy their short lives, never knowing if they'll have enough goat dung to avoid freezing to death next winter. He was strong like everybody else in his tribe - weak ones never survived harsh mountain winters. Why steal goats when you get steal some elephants? Why hunt rabbits when you can hurt a tiger! And however practical they might be, nobody enjoyed mud huts heated with burning goat dung during cold winter nights much, so moving to a palace in some warm climate sounded like a great idea.

Rumors had it that across impassable peaks of the Himalayas - impassable as far as anybody knew, frankly nobody bothered as there was nothing worth stealing there, and it would be too much effort to do so otherwise - there was a land of boundless riches. Be it goats, sheep, cows, or horses - he and his merry band were able to steal it all and get away with it, occasionally also getting some shiny trinkets or a pretty girl or two while they were at it.īut he had a much bigger dream. From the youngest age he was remarkably good at one thing - organizing cattle raids. Like everybody else in his small Karluk tribe he was a poor goat herder. I know how to abuse it to get gay wounded lustful dwarves with stats I like, but let's just skip this step and create character we want. So remarkable that I had to turn off ruler designer costing to create him. In mountains of Ili lived a remarkable character - Arslan of Ili.
