Thezorus Kamanshar

Emperor Thezorus Kamanshar, 32nd level chaotic evil male human fighter, S18:99, D:17, C:18, I:15, W:17, :C17 - HP:183

Description

In height, he is 6 feet 2 inches. He has a thick but lean build. He is laced with scars from weapons of wounding, especially in the form of whip lashes on his back. He has curly black hair, but its length and style constantly varies. He eyes are said to be red, but are actually a hazel yellow.

Emperor Thezorus Kamanshar should not be fought. He is guarded by some of the most powerful magic users, warriors and assassins in the world. Besides this impeccable security, the security around his security and the security around those guards, Thezorus himself is among the most powerful entities on the planet. If he so wished, the amount of destruction he could personally cause nears that of the gods themselves.

Personality

Encyclonians speak truthfully, even officers of state that have seen him, that Thezorus Kamanshar breaths fire and summons lightning balls from his very hands. They say he can personally move mountains, and tear men apart with his bare hands. It is whispered that he is also a sorcerer, even amongst some of his court, and that he is casting a spell over the entire world. Many Encyclonians have begun to worship the man, something the emperor has not made the slightest effort to stop. His most senior officers are aware that Kamanshar’s ambition may very well be limitless, and that he will not ever stop until all the world is his..

The Beginnings of House Xanthos

The Auburn House had its beginnings with the Encish warrior Gandran, a powerful hunter and warrior and the son of an Encish chieftain. When Athian was chased out of Abbadonia by his great uncle Axos and other enemies, Athian fled into the Enc with a small clique of followers. Nearly dying from exposure, Gandran discovered them at his hunting lodge, and took them in. Gandran did not convert to Mandadorianism at this occasion.

Gandran offered Athian refuge in his father’s tribe, and Athian helped them win victories against their enemies. He also preached the faith of Mandador, but was expelled from the tribe when Mandadorianism was growing too strong. Although still not having converted, Gandran spoke against this expulsion.

When Athian fled to the Nikerost and set up his camp there, he was soon harassed and at last attacked en masse by the orcs of the mountains, who were aroused by Axos and the other great lords who were against Athian. Gandran came with a small force of converted Encs to the Nikerost and helped save Athian and his loyal knights, slaying many orcs. After the battle, Gandran converted to Mandadorianism and gave to Athian an immense amount of gold to further the Mandadorian cause. Due to his shared wealth and his unusual shining yellow hair, he was baptized "Chryses" or the Golden.

Gandran stayed for a time with Athian and shared in many of Athian's adventures. Eventually however Gandran returned to his people, and brought with him the word of Mandador. Eventually he succeeded his father, and became a powerful chief.

When years passed and Athian found himself once again betrayed by powerful Abbadonian lords, a great battle thereafter ensued, with Athian and his loyal knights and soldiers on one side and Axios the son of Axos leading much of the strength of Abbadon on the other. The battle was the greatest Athian had ever fought in, and many heroes died that day. Encs on either side joined the battle, and many chiefs came to Athian's side, and many to the side of Axios. Gandran once again came to Athian's aid when he was in great danger. The cloud giants descended from the mountains to fight on the side of Axios, but Gandran slew many with his warriors, and slew their chief. At the end of the great battle, Gandran was covered in blood, and so his golden hair turned dark. For this he was once again renamed, now Xanthos, the Auburn One.

Gandran became a great chief after the battle, and was made a king of his people. After Athian returned from his quest on the highest mountains to speak with the Voice, he was assassinated by a near cousin, Athastion, who had been convinced by Axios that he was the rightful heir to the throne.

When the loyal lords came together in congress to decide what course they would take, Gandran once again appeared with the loyal Encish chiefs, and spoke in favor of the younger son of Athian, named Athlos, who was a true Mandadorian, and not the elder son, Athlan, who wished to return the "rebels" to Abbadonia and request a healing of the breach and an end to the Mandadorian cult.

Gandran and the other loyal Enc chiefs took the young son of Athian, Athlos, to the deep woods of the Enc, hiding him from his elder brother Athlan, as well as Axios and the other great lords of Abbadonia. There Gandran and the other heroes trained Athlos, and made him a knight of virtue and strength.

Athlos made allies with many, and courted many great lords amongst the Abbadonians. When at last Athlos was challenged by his brother Athlan in a great battle, Gandran once again was one of the many heroes that fought at his side. Gandran was pierced by many arrows of the gray elves loyal to Athlan, but he did not die, and was healed by St. Soravian, the Legate of the North, now escaped from the bonds of the evil Abbadonian lords.

After the battle, young Athlos hailed Gandran with many other heroes. Three times had Gandran come to the battle aid of the House of Athian, and in reward Athlos gave to Gandran a cousin to his house, Avona, to wed.

At the final battle against Axios and Athlan, Gandran fought once more, although now an older man. Upon the coronation of Athlos, the son of Gandran and Avona, young Avandran, was selected as one of the new Nine Electors. Knighted by Athlos and blessed by St. Soravian, this was the highest honor Gandran could have received, for he knew that as an Enc, it was impossible for Athlos to make Gandran himself a Palatine-Elector.

House Xanthos, Palatine-Elector

Avandran was not a great warrior, but proved himself most loyal to the King-Emperor. His own son Avandrian was a mighty warrior, and learned from his grandfather Gandran, who was then very old...
