Torane Zabeida

A local land baron, kind of a seedy guy. There's a local town off the other side of a ridge along this road that he allegedly routinely terrorizes by capturing and torturing the children of those families unwilling to submit to his rule. He comes off as a total dick.

When the party meets up with Zabeida, he's in a carriage being pulled by two camels. The carriage looks pretty posh, and he's kind of a portly guy. There are a handful of guards--both Human and Mithrendian alike--escorting him. The party can hear the entourage coming before they can see it.
