description= _ "The Southern Naga commonly recount a curious story about the Wind Spirit, Zefra and the aetherial chakram:
Those Naga who master the use of their ancestral weapon, the blade ring, are known among their people as Zephyr, and are held in the greatest of respect as warriors. Amongst the neighbouring Dunefolk, the Zephyr are coveted as mercenaries, with their mastery of a foreign and ill-understood weapon providing them with a significant advantage in combat. Zephyr wield their blade rings with confidence and familiarity, whirling the wicked blades around their fingers as fast as the naked eye can behold, and throwing them faster still. Zephyr give their foes no respite, using both hands to unleash an unending storm of blade rings upon them.
In the distant past, there was a chakram wielder who was possessed of legendary skill. It is said that he could cleave the very seas with a flurry of blades, fell a hundred foes before a single could reach him, and deflect a thousand arrows without being struck. Called by the name of Xylrix, tempest, he was a warrior whose arrogance was as great as his talent. He was always more than willing to boast his prowess to any and all who would watch him. Then one day, while flaunting himself to a band of young Nagini, he chose a sacred Allnai tree as his target.
‘Watch,’ he bellowed, and split the tree straight in two.

In that moment, a great wind surrounded him and the Wind Spirit’s voice echoed in his ears, ‘You think yourself mighty for slaying my hapless offspring? Though talent you possess, no mortal should trifle with the divinity that guides them.’
As to the Ringcaster and Zephyr, they could be renegade sell swords who still work on paid duties but settled down in the more tribe-ish parts of the DF lands and do more odd jobs for local villagers (renegade opposed to the life of sell-swords).
"
He retorted, ‘Come, spirit. I am not afraid. No weapon, steel, water, or wind, shall stand up to my rings.’
The wind whirled ever faster, a torrent of gale force spiraling and spiraling in a gyrating dance of fury. He felt himself lifted from the ground, spinning at a tremendous rate, rendered utterly hapless at the mercy of Zefra’s wrath. Face upturned in terror, he let go of his blades and suddenly saw it in the whirling tempest—the twirling motion of the ringed chakrams, patterned in the very wind itself.
As quickly as the storm came, it vanished, leaving Xylrix to contemplate his broken weapons. When he finally returned to his home many days later, he announced his new name: Zephyr, a warrior who serves the Wind on which his blades fly."
