You had been traveling the desert region of Khaperna, for you had sought to study it's people's superior magical capabilities, but alas, on your journey, you were surprised by a sudden sandstorm.

You were ill equipped to deal with a natural phenomena of such proportion and you would have surely succumbed to the storm without someone's aid.

Luckily for you, a man did come to your rescue, dispersing the sand storm with a wave of his staff. Afterwards, he pulled you up on your feet and offered you his flask of water. Of course, he also escorted you to his shelter.
