Amahl Shoon V Qysar Amahl Shoon V , the Artist Qysar , was the sixth emperor of the Shoon Imperium . He was considered a near saint by the Ilmatari . Reputation . Even during his lifetime , Amahl Shoon V was called the Artist Qysar . He was a much - loved ruler and was remembered positively by the people of the empire . Because of his magically enforced act of perpetual protection to the Church of Ilmater , the Ilmatari have debated for centuries whether or not to make him a saint . Activities . Under Amahl V ' s leadership , the Shoon Imperium was returned to a structured and peaceful empire . Amahl brought back religious liberty to nearly all faiths , and particularly elevated the faith of Ilmater , which remained strong in Calimshan for many centuries after . Guided by Amahl ' s rule , the greatest masterpieces of the Shoon Imperium — in both architecture and fine art — were commissioned or sponsored , especially those connected to religious sites . The famous Edificant Library and Cathedral of the Moon saw their constructions begin during his reign , supported financially by his patronage . Over 10 , 000 religious and secular statues and monuments were erected across the empire , including the Fountain of the Qysars in Calimport , which included a statue for each of the emperors till that point . ( Amahl ' s own statue was the one on the northeast side of the octagonal palisade . ) Relationships . Amahl V was the youngest brother of Shoon III and Amahl Shoon IV . He had a single child , a daughter . She bore him five grandchildren , two of whom would become emperors Amahl Shoon VI and Shoon IV . History . Amahl V was born in the Year of the Tusk , 112 DR . In 142 DR , after traveling in foreign lands for fifteen years , studying to become a powerful wizard , Amahl V returned home to find that his brother Amahl IV had murdered their older brother Aleph ( Shoon III ) . His absence meant that he had been unaware of the political turmoil happening in the Imperium during that time . His first plan was to depose his insane brother through legal means , but in the end he was forced to kill him when his brother attacked him with his silver scimitar . Amahl V used a spell to blow his brother off the Imperial Mount , where he fell to his death in the River Agis . Amahl V took the crown almost immediately . In 173 DR , Amahl ' s only child , a daughter , fell from a horse and struck her head , which left her dying . The court healers said that she would certainly die from the wound , but Amahl ignored this and frantically sought a cleric who could heal her . Near the Forest of Mir along the River Agis , he found a tiny hut occupied by a hermit who served Ilmater . The man was still untrusting of the Imperium , which previously had persecuted those of his faith severely , and refused to go to Shoonach , but said he would help if the girl were brought to him . Amahl did so , and the cleric restored her to health . In response to this miracle , the emperor gathered his people in the Taraqin Arena to make a bold proclamation . He casts a powerful magical binding spell that sent a ripple of green energy across his entire empire and pronounced a blessing on the Church of Ilmater and a curse to anyone within his lands who would ever harm one of Ilmater ' s servants . The long - lived Amahl V finally died in 204 DR . His grandson , Amahl VI led the Imperium in two months of mourning for the beloved ruler . Trivia . Despite his brother ' s madness , in 194 DR , Amahl V commission a statue of Amahl IV to be erected in the Bakkal Sabban of Calimport as part of the Fountain of the Qysars , a monument to the first seven rulers of the Shoon . Amahl IV ' s statue was the one on the north side of the octagonal palisade . Amahl V ' s own statue was the one on the northeast .
