Lorr is a merchant who has currently set up shop at an outpost in order to help supply the Gradoan army. The outpost was set up as an attempt to put a halt to the recent attacks made on the main city by the Shaherons-- a tribe of people that make their living in the desert. The reasons for this sudden increase in violence is unknown, but that's hardly Lorr's problem--until the outpost gets raided and he ends up being captured by none other than the second prince of Shaheron. To make matters worse, they find out that Lorr can speak the Shaheron language and suddenly he's forced to play negotiator between the two civilizations.
