== The Nameless Prophet ==
The Nameless Prophet was a man who came to the broken Rempet Empire, and brought new teachings and a new way of life to both human and djinn, which eventually brought peace to the region. His first followers took on the mantle of the al-Qamari, and the new faith became known as the Qamarism. The prophet founded the capital of a new empire in what was later known as the City of God in the Mountains of Shem, the mountain range that was named after the Sun God, Shem. He led his followers down into the valley of the Queen's River, converting the Nehiri tribes and city states hee found there by prayer or by strength of arms. Soon Qamarism had spread across the entire land between the two rivers of the Cradle of the World, and throughout the Mountains of Shem and the Mountains of Qamar. When he died, his succesor was chosen among his followers, a wise thinker who became the first Caliph, and so the Qamarist Caliphate was created. The Caliph was also known as the Protector of the Qamarist Faith ever since. Across the Burning Sands, by Daniel Lovat Clark
