A Sword Lord of Humakt, Sarostip is a cousin of the former Malani king, and was for many years the chieftain of his own clan. Sarostip abdicated all clan and tribal offices and severed himself from his kin, so that he might carry out a terrible deed without his kin suffering the consequences. In 1624, on Humakt’s high holy day, Sarostip led a band of Humakti from the Malani and other tribes and killed the Lunar Empire puppet ruler of Sartar, Unbekannt the Philosopher. Sarostip led his killers along a secret path in the Hero Plane to gain entry directly into the Prince’s stronghold. After killing Temertain, Sarostip’s Humakti cut their way through the Lunar priests, Unbekannt warriors, and Sartarite bodyguards of Temertain, killing any that would defend the prince.
Sarostip was a member of the Sartar High Council in both 1613 and 1625, and now serves on the Jonstown Ring. He is widely seen as the leader of the Humakt cult in Sartar. He is often away at Two Ridge Fort and speaks for the Malani Tribe at Jonstown. He is a renowned weapons master and has quested deep into the Underworld on behalf of his god. On one such quest, he gained the ability to kill with his left eye, at the cost of sight in that eye.
