Teri-Ahk Clan

Located in the blue circle, at the very top most region in light green.

The **Teri-Ahk Clan** is a noble family found in the region known as the **Wild Lands**, in the port city of **Sunner's Den**.

The Teri-Ahk Clan was one of the most powerful warring faction during the peak of a sudden power vacuum over a hundred or more years ago which caused the entirety of the Wild Lands to erupt into decade long civil war.

After the power vacuum was resolved, the Teri-Ahk Clan was able to secure many plots of land and were able to establish a foothold within the government of Sunner's Den. As they began to make their way into the government body, the clan begun to shift away from the warring way of life towards the role of leaders, planners, and cultivators.

Many of the old antiquated ways were still taught from generation to generation; such as the way of the samurai and many sword and marital art skill; but many new skills were needed.

Through one way or another, the family begun to start producing and selling a family recipe of sauce which had been shared through generation after generation within the family, known best by its name "teri-ahk sauce".

## The Framed Murder

The family was well known for not only its one of a kind sauce, but also their exceptional customer service and business sense; so it came as a great shock to everyone in the port city of Sunner's Den to learn that the leader of the family, **Kibu Teri-Ahk**, had been placed under arrest for the murder of the **Grand Pontiff** **Rheese Skaldbark**, a member of the seat of government who manage Sunner's Den who was solely responsible for maintaining relative peace between the opposing religions who reside within the port city.

With the Grand Pontiff dead, all hell broke loose within the city the moment the word got out. Mobs attempted to come into the dungeon to personally try to kill the leader of the Teri-Ahk Clan, but the rest of the council made sure to defend him so that he may live out the rest of his life locked in a cell, chained up.

Many members of the Teri-Ahk Clan knew that Kibu would never act this way, and knew it in their collective hearts and minds that he was deliberately framed for a crime that he did not commit.

One of his sons, Ozai Teri-Ahk, would be the only one who would be anywhere near the truth, as he himself spotted the evidence being set when he snuck into his fathers room to surprise him with a prank followed by with a gift. He spotted a limping man with a scar on his left leg, and heard a name that begun with a "C" and had a "de" somewhere in the middle; but was not able to hear the remainder of the hushed conversation between the two individuals in the room.

As the two intruders left, Ozai spotted a blue crest of what looked to be a goose on the back of the second persons backpack, an image he would keep like a framed photograph in his mind for many years to come. He inspected what the men had fiddled with in his fathers room, to find in horror a bloodied knife that looked like it was hastily cleaned up with one of his fathers white shirts. As he tried to rush off to find his father, it was already too late; and he had already been captured and thrown into a cell.

## Ozai & His Retainers

Ozai Teri-Ahk and his retainers, his Uncle Iroh Teri-Ahk; who taught him everything about martial arts and weapon training, his personal chef Kojwyrm; who he treats as a second mother, and his best friend Beybid; an orphaned peasant who Ozai befriended and eventually convinced his family to adopt into the family, were all able to escape the unjust punishment they were enduring after their leaders name had been tarnished, ranging from verbal to physical abuse of various degrees.

The four of them were able to make their way though the Wild Lands, all the way South through Amertia, and eventually towards the Realm of Conflict. Here is where Ozai was unprepared and ambushed by a pack of Snapdragons, only barely making it out alive thanks to his entourage.

After coming to from unconsciousness, many of the details of his recollection of the home intruders became much hazier and difficult to remember, with the only objective that he could not forget being needing to speak with the leader of Jaskir to get some answers.
