Appearance
Zahir Sandheart is a lean, weathered desert wanderer whose skin bears the fine cracked texture of sun-baked clay. His movements are slow and economical until danger appears, when he glides with startling grace, leaving no footprints even on wet sand. His face is narrow, framed by a beard braided with blue glass beads and small fish bones. A pale spiral scar circles his left wrist, always damp despite the desert heat. His most contradictory feature is his smile, warm and grandmotherly, despite the permanent black tide stains beneath his fingernails and the faint scent of low tide that follows him everywhere.
“His voice is low, dry, and reassuring, like wind moving through canvas. When invoking tide magic, a second voice speaks beneath his own, wet and whispering.”

“Low, dry, and reassuring, with a faint second whisper beneath it when tidal magic is near.”
Clothing
A layered indigo and ochre robe patched with sailcloth, a faded red sash holding glass vials, soft desert boots wrapped in linen, and a hood embroidered with tiny silver waves. His cloak is dusty on the outside but perpetually wet along its inner hem.
Body Language
Zahir leans toward speakers as if listening through water. When anxious, he rubs his scarred wrist and presses his thumb into the sand. When relieved, his shoulders loosen and his fingers uncurl like opening petals.
