Dune

A lot of mystery surrounds Dunes younger years. He only has brief memories of his mother, and none of his father. Like him, his mother had striking sun bleached colored hair. And associated her with the jiggling of small bells she wore around her ankles. Not even remembering they day they would become separated, but he treasured the few memories he had of her.

Once he was old enough he was bought and sold to a company of traveling Master builders, known as the Pillars of Perfection. They traveled all parts of Gor surveying for suitable stones, rare gems, and other relics.

Most of his days either consist of building scaffolding, mine the quarries, or serving the make shift camps. Once they came to the sand swept lands of the Tahari, many bad omens began to appear. But the Master builder didn't heed such superstition.

Coming across strange rock formations protruding from the sands, it became of great fascination to the Master builders. Although various encounters, peaceful and aggressive to local Red Savages would not prevent them mining and taking what they deem as fair game.

This Angered the Red Savages as they plotted retribution for disturbing this sacred place. On that morning, all he really remember is waking to screams. The sand and pavilions were painted red with blood. Many of the other mining kajirus had already had began to scatter into the vast distance of sand. Dune will never know why he never ran, maybe it was shock or something else. But as the Red Savages found him he excepted his fate, if it be death or something else.

The Time he spent with the Yellow Knives was very different then what he would have expected. Although their customs seemed strange and foreign to him, they were kind and always respectful to him and the others they had taken.

Although he was beginning to understand their language, his time came and they offered him up to the city of Two Scimitars as a gift. Like he had done all his life, he excepted what his fate would be as he watched the Red Savage drift into the distant sand dune. He waited patiently until he was found at the gates of this secluded city.
