Upon the day the Wanderer passed through the deserts of Lut Gholein the Nomad was 15 year's old living and training to be a nomadic warrior in his desert tribe, but never will he forget the day he lost all his tribe under the pressure of the demons spawns attacking it from all directions, even with no walls to protect them and no outside help to rescue them they fought bravely but in the end failed to stop the nonstop onslaught of the wicked demons the wanderer spawned, and the survivors scattered aimlessly under the burning suns of the desert..
Alone, stranded and on the verge of death the Nomad thought it was all over, until he saw what he thought to be a mirage, a near-death hallucination, but it was neither, what he saw was as real as the sands of the desert around it ... a half-hidden entrance to an ancient underground temple, upon entering he found shelter, water and even fresh food, but before he overcame his surprise he heard a deep voice calling him from the inner most chamber of the temple, going there he entered the room which the deep voice was coming from .. An empty vast room it was and its huge walls had murals telling long lost tales, upon entering he clearly heard the voice saying.
"Welcome young warrior, be at ease we mean you no harm ... but hear us well, for what you will be tasked with requires nothing less of a clear mind, a fearless heart and a strong body ... listen and know that we the spirits of the desert elders shall bestow upon you a power long lost and forgotten, for the coming years will see the rise of an evil like the world never saw before, and you shall be ready when the time comes"

Development
This is the first fan class i ever made, i first posted it here on Diablowiki on 11-11-2009 but I had been working on it for three months prior to that date (concept, skills and art), i have also suggested the concept several times on some threads on the forums as a candidate for "possible fifth class" under the name of "Raider", but it was just a simple outline not as detailed as the "Nomad" who serves the same role.
Further upgrades and updates will be made if possible including and not limited to (altering/removing/adding skills, adding skill rune effects, adding more art, .... etc etc).
