Rouam the Younger

Rouam the Younger is a Kelimarian nobleman and relative of the last Kelimarian Sultan, Olugar IX, who has just recently voiced a claim to the now-vacant Topaz Throne. He is a nephew of Rouam of Yarat, the adoptive son and chosen heir of Olugar IX, who was slain along with him in battle against Gol Garga's orcs in 1247 CV. His mother was Rouam of Yarat's elder sister. 
Rouam the Younger is the first to advance such a claim in the chaotic aftermath of Gol Garga's invasion, as the collapse of the old sultanate left the various Kelimarian emirs scrambling for independence rather than looking to the throne. However, many suspect he will not be the only one. It remains to be seen whether rival claims will emerge to contest his. However, it is true that he is a clever and charismatic leader, and he certainly has some influential supporters.
