One fateful night, a group of warmongering, nomadic raiders attacked the fort positioned near the oasis where Nasirah resided with her Master. In the ensuing chaos, slaves and guards alike were slaughtered. Nasirah, burning with a strong desire to survive, stole one of her master's great stallions and rode off into the desert with only the knowledge that she needed to head North.  She knew that she had no hope of surviving in Harad if she remained. Not with her shamed father dead. She also knew no man would take her as a wife either due to her sexual slavery. Her chastity was gone and she would be considered a tainted bride. For once in her life Eru graced Nasirah with mercy enabling her to flee unhindered. No one pursued her during her valiant struggle to reach the lands beyond Harad's borders. For three years, she wandered throughout the North, picking up whatever odd jobs she may, sometimes thieving, and self-teaching herself the Common Tongue. However, she still bears the thick, harsh accent of Haradric when she speaks.
