Khursh

Khursh was the strangest of the Mornarturi; he was a black skinned Variag from the distant lands of Khand and was a member of the feared Claws of Dusk, a cult dedicated to the service of the Dark Lord. His head was shaved except for a thick braid at the crown wrapped with black and yellow leather thongs. A circular pattern of scars decorated his face. yellow lines covered his person in battle, and he carried a round shield with yellow claws on a field of black. Khursh was stationed in Carn Dûm. He assisted Dairkan in organizing the defenses of that huge fortress. cavalry troops not under the command of the other Mornaturi—some 3,400 warriors and their mounts—were his to direct.
