Meet Shameka, he came from one of the southern city-states in the desert to Uneria to become a mercenary. Born and raised as part of the Desert Knight Brotherhood, he got a good physique and knows his way around most weapons, tho he has shown to be most comfortable with a 2-handed khopesh. He traveled with the purpose of wanting to hone his skills and see what this world has to offer, or perhaps companionship. Shameka’s currently working with the Sun’s Eye mercenary company.

The invention of the energy shield allows melee to be viable again in recent decades. This increases survivability of close combat in ranged engagement, also most monsters in the Outerland don’t use guns.
