Kashue

**Kashue Arnague I (482-)** Was the King of the Kingdom of Flaim Kingdom, also known as the Mercenary King. Kashue was not originally from Lodoss but was a swordfighter from the continent of Alecrast located far to the north. When he arrived in Lodoss, he joined the Storm Tribe, who was fighting the Fire Tribe in the Desert of Storm and Fire, as a mercenary. In the battle Kashue displayed a masterful skill of the sword. His abilities in combat, along with the techniques he brought from the continent to help improve the peoples lives, earnt him the trust of the Storm Tribe. He founded the country of Flaim in the 506th year of the New Kingdom Calendar and was crowned king. In the 508th year of the New Kingdom Calendar, The Fire tribe turned to the dark cults in their struggle to fight the Storm Tribe, but with the Holy Kingdom of Valis intervening as reinforcements for the Storm Tribe, they were still inferior.

When the War of Heroes broke out in the 510th year of the New Kingdom Calendar, he led his army to Valis to counter the invasion of Marmo and defeated the Dark Emperor Beld. Two years later, in the 512th year of the New Kingdom Calendar, he lifted the ancient pact of "The King of the Wind Djinn and "The King of Fire "Ifrit with the cooperation of Parn and Deedlit. With this act the Fire Tribe were defeated and the long conflict between the two tribes finally came to an end. In the 515th year of the New Kingdom Calendar, Kashue journeyed to Fire Dragon Mountain to defeat the Demon Dragon, Shooting Star, and incorporate the "Fire Dragon Hunting Ground" into fertile land for the refugees of Alania. Raiden was devastated in the event leading them to be absorbed into the Kingdom of Flaim. With these added resources Flaim had become the strongest country on Lodoss.

The Flaim army would fight in various battlefields alongside Parn and others in the War of the Destroyer’s Resurrection, which began in 525th year of the New Kingdom Calendar. This union was called the Lodoss Allied Force, together they drove Marmo from Kanon back to the Dark Isle. During the final battle on Marmo, Kashue and his forces surrounded the royal castle Conqueror of the Marmo Empire. After the end of the War of the Destroyer’s Resurrection, Shadam was appointed as the first governor of Marmo. Furthermore, after that, the dark isle was given autonomy and Spark was crowned Duke of Marmo.

Kashue is outstanding in his skill as a warrior, and is sometimes referred to as "Blade Master". However, he is by no means a king who relies solely on courage. The Mercenary King is also an expert diplomate, and well versed in domestic affairs. The technology and knowledge that he brought to Flaim has greatly improved urban development and national management, which is useful as there are a variety of ethnic groups in the kingdom.
