## Early Life-Teenage Years

Faris' life is mostly unknown until he becomes a young adult as he was born and raised mainly during the Dark Age.

It is known that he was very much in love with his then girlfriend and betrothed Lady Kiara Donahue of Brindleton Bay. The couple have a few photos together before they married.

## Young Adulthood

Faris married his betrothed and took on the Dukedom of Oasis Springs early on in his young adulthood. Faris was against a harem for his family because he knew that in his wife's culture that was considered adultery and was taboo for her, not to mention she was extremely uncomfortable with the idea of sharing her husband romantically and intimately. While that is common for the noble and royal men of Oasis Springs, Faris and his brother Amir both decided to not partake in it until Amir became the Sultan.

Duke Faris and Duchess Kiara had four children within this time. His eldest daughter Marwa was betrothed to her first cousin Prince Fahri, the eldest son of Crown Prince Amir, when she was born in 1148. Later on in 1150, Duchess Kiara gave birth to triplets, Lady Aaliyah, Lady Zulekha, and Lord Esmail of Oasis Springs. Lord Esmail soon became Duke Faris' heir to the Dukedom of Oasis Springs.

Eight years later in 1158, the small kingdom of Tartosa began to press the border it shared with Oasis Springs. Unfortunately, Sultan Nadeem was too quick to engage in combat and lost many lives to the Tartosan Army. Among them was Faris' twin brother and the heir to the Oasis Springs throne, Crown Prince Amir. Amir's wife and three young children were fatherless but still well taken care of by the Sultan but everyone knew that wouldn't last for long. Once Faris became the Sultan, the people of Oasis Springs would expect him to strip Amir's family of their titles in order to have full claim to the throne. Faris wouldn't hurt his niece and nephews in such a way and decided he would have to go through it a different way.

Months after the end of the war Sultan Nadeem abdicated the throne to Faris. In 1158 Sultan Faris started his reign over Oasis Springs with his loving wife Sultana Kiara and his four children. Esmail, Now Crown Prince Esmail became his heir. As for the Dukedom, until Faris' oldest daughter, Princess Marwa came of age to marry, Faris remained the Duke of Oasis Springs. Once Marwa became old enough her husband, who is still Prince Fahri of Oasis Springs, would become the next Duke. As for the problem with Lady Iolana and her children, Sultan Faris could solve two problems at once. Now that he was Sultan he would expected to take up a harem, even if his wife wished otherwise. Faris married Lady Iolana in name only so he could be able to financially support her family without having a romantic or intimate relationship with her. This is the only wife he took after Sultana Kiara, the couple remained faithful to one another and happily married.
