you receive the memories of three individuals as well, one of which you share with Khal'maqua (she has four others of her own, you sense). Your three are two elder elven generals and a tuatha warrior. You share one of the generals with Khal'maqua. The generals' memories are distorted and faded, their burden too much to consider wholly. From them, you get Tactics+1, Strategy+1, Logistics+1, Commanding Presence (WIL)+2, and Military Lore+1. The tuatha warrior died in the war with the fir bolg, died young. He was skilled, though: PRO+3, ATH+1, Swordsmithing (Non-Iron)+1.

Passions

gaining skill

hunting in the desert at night

finding the right tile strategy to best an opponent in an unexpected way

Relationships

Khal'maqua: my beloved sister. Our relationship can be complicated, at least on my end but I'll do my best to honor her and atone for my shame. I /will/ protect her. We are always connected. I do not wish to bring shame to her. Do I want to be connected forever?

Mother: I sometimes worry about how she views us. I hope she's not still hurting. I admire her strength.I hope I gave her some peace

Commander Ghef'fardim: someone I look up to greatly

Anastasia: I shall follow where she leads on this journey. I /have/ to help and protect her. I have pledged my fealty to her. I will do this even if I don't agree with her decisions. I wonder how she will live through this. What will she become?

Rindacsa: one with a gift for coaxing and magics. She must watch how she speaks and what she reveals to the assassin. She has no faith in herself. She puts her weaknesses on display. It makes me a little uncomfortable. And yet, there is hidden strengths within her.

Hashishin:She must be watched. I have trouble trusting her but I am relying on her now. We all must rely on her, as the last of our kind.

Zuvulun the warlock: I hope he finds some answers about our curse. He had better treat Y'shmail well

Jeshimarath: a traitor against everything we stood for. He deserved worse

Katha'ane: a good friend and a good protector. I owe him a debt. $

Convictions

Married men aren't to be trusted. Look what one did to my mother. Left alone and surviving for three.

I don't like to be compared to Khala.

Work hard.

Protect the tribe. Protect Inisel, whatever form it takes

Rise high.

Save our people by finding a new place for them. This might be hard for me. Work towards making them what they want to be

I'm both terrified and exhilarated at the thought of riding a worm in the Black Desert. If I go there will I have to face what Harkan the Black faced? Is this the Great Worm?

Honor is an odd thing. I'm not sure it has a strong place in the desert, where survival reins

And then they fade, and the only sign of the Heart of the Dry Sun left is in a slight greenish cast to her veins.
Da'sabash, the air currents in this region are now your bloodflow.
The patterns of the weather are part of you.
They react to you.
They react to your emotions, and you can change them by fueling them with emotions.
Respect, above all, is the most powerful fuel for them.
Disdain and disrespect hurt htem.
And the reverse is true: your bloodflow is now a weather pattern, and you can command the general nature of the bloodflow of others by feeding your heart with emotions.
Basically, you tell me what emotion you're using, and tell me what you want to do, and then we roll based on the emotion used at a range of about 16 to 31.
And then there's the flipside: you can use blood to fuel control of emotions.
But that has pretty harsh physical consequences.
But it mostly works on a scale of dry to wet. So you can suck the water out of the blood, or you can make it richer and stronger. You can turn an area into a desert. And you can dry up a foe's emotions.And any weather associated with dry seasons, with appropriate metaphors, if you can think of them.

Mastery:

You have replaced the world's dry seasons with Inisel, basically. The
people of Inisel, the actual nation, and the cultural signifiers
thereof are yours to command or use.

Within Inisel, you feel all that goes on within it. Outside of Inisel,
it weakens. You can contact them emotionally, draw from them, but you
can't sense them all. If an Iniseli national is near you, you can
sense them and what they are doing, but if someone is a hul'tessaq
that is not a citizen of Inisel, they are blocked from you.

Their currents are your bloodflow. Political, emotional, social. If
you bleed, things go wrong with it. The weather of Inisel reacts to
your mood, no matter where you are.

You can still use blood or emotion as fuel, but it need not be your
own, necessarily. You can use the emotional currents of Inisel to
command the blood of others. The closer to Inisel you are, the more
potently you can command this. You can also use the blood of any
Iniseli (that is, anyone that is a citizen or animal of Inisel,
hul'tessaq or otherwise) to command the emotions of others.

Your blood is now golden.

The usual metaphors of drying up apply, but you also can make things
/Iniseli/: keyed to survival, honorable, prescient, sandworm-like,
divided culturally, tradition-bound, or anything else that applies.
