Muharib (Qawm Background) in Dungeons & Dragons 5e

Muharib (Qawm Background)

You are a Muharib—a warrior of the Qawm, trained in the defense of merchant caravans, palaces, and tent cities across the Sahra’. Your skills were forged under the relentless sun, in the midst of shifting trade routes and perilous journeys. Muharibs are respected for their martial prowess, loyalty, and adaptability, often serving as bodyguards, caravan escorts, or protectors of merchant interests. Among the Qawm, you know that reputation is as vital as strength, and that your actions reflect on your house as much as yourself.
