## Biography

### Early life

From Lauzarii background, Amir grew up in Theionikos. His father gave him the name of "Tiodl", as his grandfater. However, against the persecution due to his niedene origins, he self-attributed the name of "Amir" which could be translated as "noble" or "leader" in Sneed, a reference to Iksare (Emperor) Valerian, hero of the War of the First Coalition and Emperor of Escharia.

Adult, he worked as a docker and then sailor in the port of Gebel. Many employers refused him as he was niedene and he unded up unter the protection of a trader from Lorent. Struck by the unusual color of his eyes, his Lorent mentor called him "Bel" ("beautiful" in Lorent). As such, Amir was known as "Bel Amir".

During that time, Amir used to follow the guidance of Marses, Soleannen patron of sailors and travellers.

### Moving to Escharia (january-february 2022)

Amir quit Theionikos few after the *Tobinoran* (Nocturnal Journey in asteri), a nocturnal dream which happenned the day of the formation of Astyllea (january 9th 2022). During this dream, Bel Amir believes that Iksare (emperor) Valerian told him to contribute to the defence of the Soleannen faith and prepare his return. During that time, the Escharian states were split in two rival countries and the loyalists of Asperium Niedea were recovering from a succession of setbacks during the Kimikwessie (Escharian Civil War). Bel Amir swore that he would create a fort that would be the southernmost soleannen bastion of the empire, but also a home for all the persecuted Soleannen. It would be Karannatia.

### Bandit's Nightmare (february - april 2022)

During the building of Karannatia, Amir had direct contacts with the Lithranorians who threatenned him into joining them. Impressed by this episode, recalling the Tobinoran, Amir indulged tirelessly in establishing imperial authority over the Western territories corresponding of the Duchies of Varmerion, Raykara and then Egalia.

Since then, Amir is believed to hold the biggest victory count against bandits in Rathnir. As he's probably the only one to hold count of his victory upon bandits, there is no reason to don't trust this statement. However, Amir himself lost the count of his victories against bandits.

### The rise of an Escharian noble (april - july 2022)

His efforts and activity were noticed and rewarded by the the chasing of foreign attempts to settle on the territory of Escharia. As such, he climbed the social scale within both Soleannan Imperium and Imperium, firstly winning the ahroqan (senator) elections against Veriss. He would also remain active inside the Escharian Imperial Watch and become commander for the Duchy of Varmerion.

After the resignation of Iksare Yazov, Amir was appointed Leorik (Duke) of Varmerion after the proposal of Chancellor Isaris. He thus adopted the name of his House again, Averroii, feeling that an Escharian Duke couldn't be known by a sole nickname. He also abandonned the path of Marses and start to focus on Esageus, patron of wisdom.

During his mandate, the Duchy built new roads and the town of Karannatia was industrialized. Varmerion became the most populous duchy within Escharia and the towns of Lokaith and Ekesttori grew significantly. He refused to let the town of Lostesrei, the capital, join the duchy of Gentaréi arguing that the citizens of Lostesrei were working closely with the citizens of the other Varmerii towns. Instead, he advocated for the fusion of the two duchies, which was carried out later during the Siorvat of Escharia.

Eventually, Amir would be appointed Minister of Interior of the Imperium by Valerian, who had been appointed Goku of the Imperium.

### Resignation from Duke (july-august 2022)

Heavily tired by the amount of charges and his quest of recognition, Amir had an accident on the building site of the Cathedral of Karannatia which left him severely injured. He thus rested during years in Il-Kabulli and had to resign from all governing charges. Fabian Bellator, his long friend, succeded him as Duke of Varmerion.

This period also gave him time to indulge into historic researches about the Vasteri and the Kingdom of Egalia, as if knowledge could allay his thirst for power

Even if this convalescence was the occasion to think about his mistakes, he maintained activity within Escharian politics. Through the periods of tensions that shook the Soleannan Imperium, Amir sought to remain loyal to the Escharian state and its integrity, no matter the events happening in Escharia. As such, he decided to remain silent to the calls of his mentor Isaris during the Third Escharian crisis of succession, who was rebelling with the western duchies. It thus made him tacitly side with the leader appointed by the Ekeris (Cardinal) Nive-Pallas Akerian, Dazoqan Veriss, even though he had a longstanding rivalry with her.

### Aksemesai (august-september 2022)

#### Head of the noble faction within the Aksemesai

At the end of his long convalescence, Amir would, pushed by the new Chancellor and Sennkesor (mayor of the Capital) Favian (Aymon), accept again the titles of Kesefor and Head of the Imperial Watch within the government of the newly formed Siorvat of Escharia. However, he remained deeply stuck by the brutal assasination of Isaris, son of the former Iksare (emperor) Valerian.

Along of the different stages of the trial, Amir started to question his alleagance to the Dazoqan. Having pledged alleagance to the Aesperii family during the Tobinoran, he also thought about Luci who has been pushed out of power by the Kirrentai and eastern nobles. Letting his rivalry for Veriss overtake his feelings, he became convinced that the Dazoqan was trying to supress all members belonging to the precedent Escharian imperial bloodlines when Auria Aeszerii was designated as the main suspect.

This is why at the last trial, Amir asked to bear witness in favor of Auria. Entering Lostesrei with a dozen members of his personal guard, he remained extremenly nervious during the first part of the trial and his hands would shiver all along. When his turn came, he pronouced the following speech:

```
I stand before you as probably one of the most loyal nobles of Escharia. I have served all successive leaders with the same spirit of trustworthyness, honor and dedication. As a former minister of the Imperium, former Duke, and currently historian of our nation, I acknowledged most of our secrets. I knew that Auria had royal blood. Isaris knew. And as Isaris was a true Escharian, he'd never hurt her. I know that Isaris would never harm his own family, as it was well-known. This is why Auria wasn't threatened by Isaris, and that in return Auria would never commit such a horrendous crime. On the other hand, what are our evidences? The appearance of a black-hair woman? This is not a concrete evidence. Then it is only upon assumptions that we could say that Auria had assassinated Isaris. And assumptions are skewed. While on the other hand if you look at the facts, the only thing we can see if that the aesperii bloodline is being severed every day a little more by Dazoqan Veriss. I know Veriss for almost 40 years. The Dazoqan has always been a woman lusting for power. She tried to seize the throne of Varmerion ; remember how she was one of the main protagonists of the storming of Lileanen when she learn that she lost the Imperium's senate... She has no interest for the nobles. She shows no empathy, doesn't consider those who want the best for Escharia. Since Escharia took the path of Dictatorship we, nobles, can see how decisions are taken in absolute contradiction with out traditions and values. We lost the way of our ancestors, who are the backbone of our civilization. In this trial, there is no other evidence than Veriss taking over Escharia and trying to scorch the legacy of the Aesperii, the only bloodline entitled to rule over Niedenes.

```

This speech provoked the ire of both Veriss and Favian, who suspended the session and immediately asked for Auria to be executed. Why she was being conducted to the fuillotine, Amir and his personnal guard intervened at the last moment and rescued Auria, bringing her safe to Karannatia. After these event, the town became the capital of the rebellion and went through the ensuing siege led by the Dazoqan.

During the Aksemesai, Amir was one of the main commanders of the rebellion. He'd remain most of the time in his room, ontop of the Komares tower, exchanging messages with nobles from all over the realm and leaders of the former duchies of the Imperium. Due to the feverishness of his brother, Adekir, he led himself the assault of Alessandrea, securing the path to Anosphey and ensuring the late arrival of the Herodians. However, he demonstrated poor fighting skills during the siege of Karannatia, while most of his men were led to the fight by Auria.

Amir's goals during this period remain unclear, as it seems that he was mainly acting after Valerian made his decision to march on Lostesrei in order to rescue Auria. The lack of preparation from the noble party made them appear powerless when the Bardonians took over the capital, Lostesrei. As such, Nobles appeared powerless and the Dukes sought protection under the the Empire of Simulami. Questionned beforehand by the Ekeris about his opinion on this idea, Amir expressed his doubts agaisnt such a hasty decision. However, he remained loyal to the Dukes and mainly the Archduchess of Varmerion, Illia an Aeszerii, which he considered more legitimate than him to take decisions concerning the future of the nation. As such, the outcome of the Aksemesai was the collapse of the Escharian state.

#### Escharian nationalism and crisis of Vasterien

Amir considered the decision to abandon all escharian sovereignty as unfair and detrimental to the protection of the niedene people and the soleannen faith. After a first phase of dispair, he tried to convince the Escharian dukes to reunite under a single state instead of remaining vassals under Simulami. Seeing that the dukes wanted to end the Empire of Escharia, he came to the conclusion that the Kirrentai was actually responsible of the successive crisis that shook the Escharian states.

Turning his back on the eastern duchies, he advised Illia to retreat from the treaty with Simulami and seek protection under the Empire of Bardonia instead, who sitll had control over Lostesrei. As many nobles shared this opinion, Illia signed a new treaty in haste with Bardonia, which included the possibility for the newly formed nation, Vasterien, to cease the vassalage through paying a consequent amount of gold.

Amir wasn't dragged into the negociations until Nicholas an Seqerie, leader of the Kingdom of Nieden and son of late Iksare Yazov an Akrati, and Luci Aesperii, also former Iksare, blocked the terms concerning the town of Varmerion upon which they had control. Being friend with Nicholas which he met during the reign of Luci, Amir served as an intermediate in the talks. Wanting the reunification of the Escharian states, and believing that the reconciliation of Illia and Nicholas would later help reconciliate Nicholas with the western duchies, Amir discussed an offer with Nicholas : Vasterien and the Kingdom of Nieden would unite under him, and in exchange he'd buy Lostesrei to give it to Illia, who would remain duke of Varmerion.

These terms seemed unacceptable to Illia, who remained very strong on her positions considering Varmerion, while Amir was asking her to abandon all terms concerning the town. Eventually, negociations started to turn in disfavor of Illia and she went back to the leader of Simulami in order to ask for protection. After these events, the Archduchy of Varmerion was split in half between the Kingdom of Nieden and Simulami. Due to his ambiguous role, Amir was considered as an Escharian ultranationalist and enemy of the State within Simulami and the nation formed by the two eastern duchies, Lyras Soleari.

### Official within the Realm of Escharia (october 2022 - february 2023)

In order to ensure his newly acquired authority over the region, Nicholas appointed Amir Duke (Azro) of "Core Escharia", the territory which would encompass the western territories of the Realm of Escharia. Under this second rule, the region expanded when Egalia defected from Bardonia through the action of Eros an Aesperii-Crimarii, which he appointed second in command. Amir also was elected Senator in the neighrboring nation of Wheatonia, and played a role in the negotiations that made the nation a vassal of Escharia.

Amir also convinced Yerigold Arkandore to take leadership of Egalia and put Ailstra under Ekesttori jurisdiction. He was unable to maintain activity alongside the Vastmarei area.

### Death at Il-Kabulli (february 2023)

However, during this time, Amir started to feel isolated among the change of actions. Il 1742 ASC, reaching the age of 101 years and observing that the reunification of the former Escharian states was taking longer than he expected, Amir organized his death during a religion ceremony. He thus went to Lileanen to offer his resignation from all charged to emperor Nicholas, and requested his niece Sabite to be his successor. During his trip, he had a last meeting with *Ekeris* (cardinal) Faezon.

Blending Soleannen and Lausarii traditions, Amir performed an Ascension-like ritual. The ritual consisted of a cremation banquet with offerings. Like his late friend Fabian Bellator, he recited the lines of the Ascension prayer but completed it with offerings. Were rewarded to Solaris an Emerald, to Valerian a golden crown and to Esageus and Arkhes sacred texts. The ceremony was held by a theiosist priest, Círandir Keírikos.

After jumping into the brasero, screamings of suffering were heard by the assistence. However, Amir's corporal envelop was fully consumed and Cirandir confirmed that Amir had ascended. A puddle of tears was found at the place of the burial after the brasero had ended. The tears were placed in a phial and were carried in the crypt of Karannatia's by Amir's son, Babdil. Another shrine dedicated to Amir was erected in the caves of Drakhasrei's cathedral.

## Around Amir an Averroii

### The Averroii House

*This section is a quick summary of the main page, here.*

The History of the Averroii family is marked by the relations between the Empire of Escharia and Yimmu-Audal. The patron of this house is Arkhes. His house, the \*averroii\* (power of firearms), was among the few niedenes that were authorized to trade war products in Gebel. As such, the Averroii were used to trade with Thaidians. During the War of the First Coalition his grandfather, Tiodl Averroii, pretexted a shortage to refuse the selling of weapons to the Audaladae armies and instead provided the Coalition. This is why after the Escharian Ascension and collapse of the Empire of Escharia the Averroii house was prohibited from indulging into weapons' trade. Its members decided to cease the use of the name in order to avoid persecution amid of the decline of niedenes in Yiummu-Audal.

### The Tobinoran

    *Everything related with this episode was counted by Amir himself. Note that Amir was in an inebriated state, an unorthodox practice for Soleannan believers. The other protagonist of the story, Iksare Valerian, never denied nor confirmed the event. However, both Amir and Valerian share good relations to this day.*

Amir was working in Prisma, in northern Anoshpey, for a pumpkin shipment. After drinking and having a night walk, he would arrived at Il-Kabulli, the Soleannen Holy Site built by Severion (saints) Valerian and Arminius. There he made direct contact with the Kaaba, a Soleannen artifact, and would meet with Iksare (emperor) Valerian in the sky. Valerian would bring him to see the borders of the weakened Aesperium Niedea and saw the settlement of Lithranor. He was then brought to a buoyant and snowy city which was, according to Amir, Lileanen. The city was only inhabited by souls and at the cathedral Amir claim to have met with severie (saints) Imaksus and Miri. Both would have expressed concerns about the Hemnerei, the Overworld. Valerian would have warned Bel Amir that he wans't ready and that he had to defend the territory of our Ancestors and prepare his triumphal return. In the end of this episode, Amir recalls the sensation of one thousand of red eyes openning in the shadow and looking at him, and interprets it as the threat of Caligo. After this episode, Amir would march north and found Karannatia, the Red Fortress. From there he would watch over western Nieden and prepare Valerian's return.
