Zahir's Theme

Zahir is a royal architect for the newly established emperor of Amon Kallit, currently in the process of building a grand palace to his honour.

But the construction of such a royal abode will require many resources, some more exotic than others. Especially when the new emperor plans to lace its architecture with magic, state of the art engineering, mazes, a treasure vault and cunning traps.

It is Zahir's charge to scour the world for raw material of the finest quality and secure their return for the emperor. And at the same time, Zahir can absorb and sketch the most impressive architecture that all of Arethil has to offer, taking the best elements and bringing them back home to craft something truly unique and immeasurable.

The path to greatness is long and arduous. It requires discipline, patience and careful study, at least on the path of a craftsman and a visionary. Zahir knows this well, and intends to leave a lasting mark on the world.

Life in Amol-Kalit is often short and unpredictable. But the new emperor promises a reign of enlightenment and peace. No more wars or bloodshed over petty feuds. No more broken alliances and unkept promises. Peace and prosperity – that is the future of the desert realm of Liadain. Zahir believes in this and sees in him an unshakable future, both for his own family and for his people. Born into a family of wealth and stability, Zahir has still witnessed the brutal lives of those around him. But as the son of a wealthy silk merchant, he has also had the luxury of travel, and seeing the possibilities of the world beyond. Where civilisation and order triumphs over chaos and self-interest. he has also been allowed the luxury of travel, He now wishes for some of that privilege to be further distributed.
