| abstract | - Baheshtur is one of the heroes of Calradia. Recruiting Baheshtur costs 400 denars and his initial level is 5. As he starts with high points in Horse Archery and Power Draw, it may be useful to set Bashetur up as a mounted archer, with a bow as his primary weapon and either a sword or lance as secondary (he also starts off with two points in power strike). Baheshtur is of noble birth, and thus can be given land and the rights of a vassal without losing relations with existing noble lords. If elevated to lordship in Warband, Bahestur will recruit Khergit troops for his forces, in addition to the ones that are granted to him. While he does not believe that Rolf is actually a baron, Baheshtur still finds something to like about his declaration and the brazenness he declares it with. He finds himself at odds with Marnid due to Marnid's objections to raiding caravans, thinking that the merchant should not be in war if he objects to the spoils of war. Meanwhile, Katrin earns his ire through taking a pot he hoped to cook food in that reminds him of home, saying she would not let him "taint it with heathen food". He holds connections in Tulga. To help you claim right to rule he is willing to tell the denizens of the steppes that you will respect their right to move their herds, which infuriates Alayen. When you first go to Halmar with Baheshtur in your party, he will tell you how his sister married a merchant. Before that, his grandfather's people first came in from the cold mountains from the east and took that land by pushing back the Vaegirs and making that castle their own. He'll then say how the current generation of Khergit are too used to being in warm homes and the next will grow fat on Velucan wine. And that more illiterate bandits will come in and take that land for themselves, that's how it will be, that's how it has been, that's how it always will be.
