Blackfeld

Tärik Minsayat (in Nethir), also known by his nickname Baluk Afayed ('crescent moon striker') was a semi-legendary folk hero. His nickname, given because he often attacked under a crescent moon, was eventually shifted to 'Blackfeld', his saint name when he was canonised as patron saint of freedom and liberation.
In Euluska, his saintly name was Cen Baluk-afayed.
Tärik was famously active in the 8th century the Burning Hills. He was known for killing or deposing several tyrannical autocratic local warlords and chieftains around the deserts, liberating villages where bandits or warbosses had taken over. He carried a curved long scimitar said to be long and curved enough to behead a chieftain from his horse from the ground.
He gave his name to the village of Blackfeld in the south, where one day the the Blackfeld Abbey would take his name too, though their goals were twisted from his of goodness.
His saintly day was Ižte 20, and his saintly symbol was a curved moon or curved blade.
