At the age of fifteen Xerther arrived at the small mud hut they called home with the fish she had caught that morning to hear the sound of Nam-Shub crying, she had been robbed on her way home from Khemi of all the supplies she had bought with the coin she had made whoring the previous three nights. "Curse these bandits for ever existing!" she cried as she sobbed uncontrollably. Xerther tried to comfort her "It will be ok mother, look I caught enough fish to last us several days. It is as you say, Set will provide for us!”. Upon hearing this her mother flew into a rage "Set? Set! Where was Set when I was thrown out of my home at the age of 16? Where was Set when I was forced to sell my body just to feed you? I curse Set as I curse that filthy Aquilonian dog who destroyed my life!"
