Hamud's Demise

Quest Overview
Devana ibn Rafik is looking for information on her father, Hamud ibn Rafik. Hamud and his daughter were followers of the Shagar Zharala on Ispar. The Shagar Zharala had become corrupt so Hamud was made an outcast left Ispar through the portals to Dereth where he began a new organization based on the tenants of the Shagar Zharala, the Tenebrous Edge. Unfortunately Hamud allied himself with the Shadows thinking that they were the "incarnations of the very ideals that we in the Zharalim tried to emulate". Hamud was corrupted by the shadows and became a shadow himself.
