- "Gheb, next time we do that, please don't speak."
- ―Kirya.
Kirya is the Sandstorm guild master's second-in-command and a temporal party member on Mission 4 in v1.7. Unlike the rest of the guild's members' hot-headed/aggressive temperament, she displays a much more calm and thoughtful disposition, although, just like her fellow guild members, she is very greedy.
Appearance[]
Personality[]
Kirya is shown to be a very cunning individual that is willing to do anything to get her way and always likes to be one step ahead of everyone, she is also shown to have some respect for Suki for rescuing her. She's also smart enough to recognize the significance of the hidden treasure realizing that whoever could control rain in the desert would become wealthy indeed and lamenting that there was no way of controlling it.
Story[]
Version 1.6 - 1.8[]
Introduced in Mission 4 as "the boss." She is arrested after being suspected of kidnapping three visiting archeologists and Suki must first rescue her in order to properly begin business with the Sandstorm Guild.
After rescuing her, she brings Suki to the safe house, revealing that she indeed kidnapped three of the archeologists and sends her to lure the last one, standing in front of the Madinah city hall, back. Upon completion, the player enters the Sandstorm Guild's hideout where they find the guild master threatening the lives of the archeologists. If the player interferes, the guild master loses their temper nearly sending guards to apprehend Suki, but Kirya manages to calm him down reasoning that Suki has proven herself far too valuable to simply be captured. Later she is found in the torture chamber torturing Alexie. Failing to get info, Kirya asks Suki to make an attempt. Once the location of the treasure is discovered, the next day Kirya, Suki, Alexie, and members of the Guild travel to the location, ambushing the next shift of guards. Guarding the road, Kirya asks Suki to capture the rest of the archeologists. Once the ruins of Moon Canyon are cleared, the player along with Kirya and Alexie search for the Desert's treasure. As soon as the group completes the instructions to find the treasure, it's revealed that rain was the treasure all along. To which Kirya, disappointed, leaves along with Alexie. Upon meeting her again she's discussing a treasure "pirates" are after with the guild master. She thanks and rewards Suki for her help, letting her take the archeologists Suki captured in the Moon Canyon, as the ones Kirya captured are considered the property of the Guild.
During the epilogue, she appears talking to her guild master when suddenly they are raided by Madinah's guards after their hideout is exposed by Alexie, leaving her fate uncertain.
