"*Through blood and earth we survive"*

## **Paragons Of Horus**

**The Kushite Prophecy of Salvation goes as such:**

“In the land of hot, dry, desert, a small child will be born, during the birth of this child a Vulture will observe the birth, under the Vultures watchful eyes this child will be protected by the Gods. SHE who rides into battle will never meet defeat, this child will be born of pure Tribal blood and a fearful Egyptian woman, exiled for her ways. The small girl will grow to be a wise, strong ruler and military leader. The Vulture ”

**Father's History**

Aaskar Waaweetee, was born of a tribe within the Horn of Africa, he was forced to the chair of chieftain after his father died when he was 10 years of age. Aaskar was at first questioned by many of his people but proved himself in the War of Kultuur, when at just 15 years of age, he defeated his cousin in open warfare when he rallied all tribesmen to fight to protect the Great Temple of Waaqaweeta. Although he held the Temple, Aaskar was unable to adequetely command an army to defeat his cousin. After which the treaty of 1015 ended conflict between 15 year old Aaskar and his older cousin. During the peace time in 1038 Aaskar had been on a hunting trip near the border of Bazin and the territories of the tribe to our north when he heard a commotion, Aaskar and his guards stumbled upon a scene in which men were chasing a woman who appeared to be far from home from Aaskars eyes, his guards made swift work of the three men chasing the woman, who explained herself to be named Numbia, translated as "Gold", after telling of how she had been exiled by her people for merely having her name of "ancient tongue" as she put it. She told Aaskar of the riches and wonders, of her once great cities and temples, she also told of how they were pillaged and destroyed, by what she would call a "Fatimid" all the while Aaskar fell in love. By the year 1040 Aaskar and Numbia had been married for 2 years when Aaskar decided to adopt Numbia's name, Nasr, and declared his beloved wife Chieftess of Bazin. Aaskar went on to serve as a military general defeating any who stood in his way, until he was betrayed and executed, along with his wife Numbia, by his twisted Nephew in the year 1065.

**Tribal Religion**:

The tribes people before Aaskar Nasr worshipped a God by the name of Waaqawe, Legend has it Waaqawe lives in the wind that blows, when winds blow through the sand ridden lands strong enough and the people were shrouded in sand the tribe conduct a ceremonious sacrifice of 5% of the tribes livestock. The tribes people would then take the meat of this livestock and drape them in the hot desert sun, the people would then take the dried meat and store it for later use, in case of drought the tribes people were able to live off the food stored. When the winds would calmly blow and the great drape of Waaqawe would block the sun to relieve men and women of the hot African sun, the tribes people would feast for the times of drought are over. **To be continued...^**

**"The Great Reject":**

The people of Bazin were on the fence of reforming their tribal habits into something greater, when Aaskar married Numbia Nasr and she began to spread the words of worship of her ancient gods, almost lost to time. She had been rejected from her home city of Alexandria and had run South as a fugitive of religious persecution. Hearing the stories and tales of Numbia's travels the people decided to do as their Chieftress and Chieftain do, mix each other's beliefs but on a far greater scale, taking elements from the words of Waaqawe such as Sacrifice of livestock, and taking elements from Ancient Egypt such as human sacrifice and pharos. The new religion commonly referred to as Kushite, established a strong foothold in Bazin people worshipped the "royal family"(for lack of a better term) so much that they went as far as claiming only women born of the Nasr blood may rule over Bazin.

**Recent History:**

Aasha Nasr was born in the Chiefdom of Bazin, her father Aaskar Nasr, had married an Egyptian woman, doing so influenced the Chiefdom to merge Egyptian and Tribal religious ideals, creating the great Kushite religion, causing a rift between other Muslim and Jewish led Chiefdoms neighboring Bazin. Peace was precariously maintained until the year 1058 when local traders of Muslim faith decided to settle in the major beach settlement of Tokar. Major brawls plagued the streets for years until Chieftain Aaskar Nasar ordered the Kushite military to drive the traders off to the North in 1062, where they’d live in the mountains slowly migrating out of Bazin. By the year 1065 Bazin had developed into a reputable vassal, having solidified a foothold in the Horn for Kushite ideals but tragedy struck the House of Nasr when the High Chieftain executed Aaskar Nasr and his wife Numbia Nasr, on grounds that they were practicing a forbidden and evil faith. In a move that was meant to embarrass and discredit from the eyes of the Chieftain, the house of Nasr the High Chieftain bestowed the head of the House to Aashar Nasr, knowing all too well that the Kushite people would never accept a woman as their Chieftain without problems. By the year 1066 she learned how to connect with her people in Bazin, where she was told by a local woman of a 67 year old prophecy that strangely predicts Aashar’s birth almost to the letter, she understands the anger her people feel, and intends to satisfy her people’s hunger for revenge and security against the High Chieftain of Naqis.

**House of Nasr 1066-1100 Important People and Events-**

**Aasha(1066-Present) + The War Of Tokar 1072-1076:**

Aasha struggling with being the vassal of *Yazid* in her 20's while raising a child, as well as facing cultural and religious feuds in the streets she became Melancholic from the hardships of life. In the year 1067 however Aasha married her first husband *Kuka Ibn Besharin*, bringing her much joy, especially by the year 1070 her first son and faithbound heir, Aaslan Nasr, is born. By September, 1072 Aasha's plans to attack High Cheiftain Yazid were coming together, her men well equipped, her horse well fed, and the Gods on her side she commanded and lead an estimated 2,000 warriors in her quench for vengeance in a civil war against her cousin and rival *High Chieftain Yazid ibn al-Makarim* on October 5th, 1072*.* Aasha having made the poor decision of splitting her forces, faced many defeats at the hand of her cousin in the first two years of the war, but had arranged with her husband to call in his armies from the south to put the odds in Aasha's favor in March of 1074. The war raged and in the early days of October 1074 Aasha laid siege to Fort Allaqi, near the capital city of Naqis, capturing her lieges two son's all while Yazid's armies marched south and ravaged cities in Qaata, slaying all those who wouldn't convert to Ash'ari in the undefended cities, it was a race against time though Aasha and her allies were able to finish the siege by April 14th, 1075 just as the Armies of Naqis reached the Fort Tokar in Bazin by April 8th, 1075 Yazid and his armies began his siege, unaware of Aasha's armies marching from the North, with his sons in tow to return them as prisoners of war. Aasha and her army reached Tokar on August 6th, 1075. Having marched for 5 months her men were exhausted and were unprepared for a fight, however Aasha took what her father had tought her and rallied her troops for one last fight, quoted saying, "*Men! I know the march was long, and your feet are sore, I too have blood and blisters and cuts and bruises, but by the God of Waaqawee and the Ancient God of Seth we will not stand idley by as our homes are burned and my people terrified! Ride men!*" Yazid having been caught off guard was unprepared for the 1,200 Warriors of the Horn to appear on his flank, the battle raged as Aasha drew her enemy into unknown terrain surrounding the city, using her camel riders Aasha was able to break their lines and routed the 794 Naqis warriors, essentially ending the war on that day. However when Aasha received no terms of surrender she gathered her men on makeshift boats to sail north to once again outflank Yazid who she suspected was returning home to check on his kin. Aasha reached the tribal territories of the Jabal Quzlum on December 21st 1075, laying siege to the last stronghold of Naqis. Finally Aasha recieved a formal surrender from Yazid, who lost his titles and throne, ultimately putting an end to the Naqis Empire on January 1st, 1076. The war put Bazin as an independent region on the map, free to rule as they wished, it also got Aasha noticed. Following the war Aasha had another daughter named Awa and was pregnant again in 1078, on August 25 1079 Aasha gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, her second son, Isman. Isman became sick on September 18th, 1079 and was not getting better, Aasha spent the most time with him than she has with any of her other children before him, she craddled him and sang him songs when he cried and coughed, as the days and nights went on Aasha knew there was something wrong with little Isman, but was determined to have him survive this bout of disease. On November 21st 1080 Aasha was graced with her first beautiful grandchild from her first Daughter Faadumo Nasr, and was given the opportunity to name her grandchild Khalaf, a good Afar name to strengthen the Nasr name for generations. Though her son was ill things were going well for Aasha and she was enjoying being a mother during the peace, and guiding her people towards the ways of their ancestors. Tragedy truly struck Aasha when her beloved husband Kuka, died on March 29th 1081. Followed by her adored son, Isman who, on the 26th of November, 1081 at the age of 2, died due to his illness. Following this Aasha went into a repressive state and mourned the loss of not only her husband but her youngest child as well, she didn't come out of her chambers and resorted to using Hashishiyah, and combined her love of baking cakes and made Hashishiyah cakes to numb herself from the pain of it all. It did however relieve her of much of her stress and she emerged from her chambers on March 31st, 1082 to address her people for the first time in marking a full year of mourning for her child and husband, 6 months each, as per the traditions of her parents, 3 months for the ways of her father and 3 months for the ways of her mother per family member. Aasha had much time to think over the year she spent in her chambers and decided that she must once again marry for the good of her family, to ensure the security of her bloodline. Thus she searched for a husband and decided she would marry a lowborn by the name of Hadab in September 1083, solely on him sharing similar values to Aasha and her desire to have just one more child. Whilst on her hunt in January 1084 Aasha discovered she was pregnant with yet another child by using an ancient method taught by her mother, of urinating on a seed of Barley. Giving birth to a baby girl named Ayaan in July of 1084. Horror struck once more within the Council of the Nasr House, when Aasha was informed by her daughter Faadumo that there was a murder, Aasha, almost tasking Faadumo with leading the investigation decided it'd be best if she herself lead it, so in December of 1084 Aasha and her council members launched an investigation into the recent killing. On October 27th 1085 Faadumo informed Aasha of yet another murder, this time in the court, Aasha becoming more paranoid she orders to double the guards. Tragedy struck a third time when the murders escalated and Aasha's grandson and Faadumo's son, Khalaf was murdered in cold blood, on September 7th, 1086, in response Aasha began asking around and upon returning to her chambers she found a note written in blood, reading "*You will end this seach at once. nothing good can come from uncovering my identity, and I will make sure that nothing good comes your way if you keep trying"* looking closer Aasha noticed it was the handwriting of her daughter Faadumo!! **to be Continued...**

**Faadumo Nasr 1058-Present:**

Faadumo Nasr, first daughter and heir of Aasha Nasr was born a happy baby girl and lived a happy life embracing the little things though a little aggressive with her classmates and friends she was a well mannered child, when her mother Aasha Nasr orchestrated an uprising against the Chiefdom of Naqis in 1072, Faadumo now at the age of 14 had prepared for her role as the future Chieftess of Bazin, that is until 1070 two years prior her brother was born and ultimately inherited the throne of Bazin, she was vengeful and spiteful and full of anger and rage towards her brother, yet had all her charming elements about her. By the time the war had broken out in 1072 Faadumo was left alone with her ever growing number of siblings for 4 years while her mother and father waged war in the North. All of whom were treated well except for Aaslan, who was regularly belittled and deprived of food for days on end, all in an attempt to starve him, but Aaslan managed to survive by eating food he'd find when Faadumo was asleep. By the wars end Faadumo was still seen by her mother and in particular the public eye as a smart, beautiful, charming and diplomatic young woman, and by the age of 17 she was married off to her husband, Taha for no other reason than "he is a good Kushite man"-Aasha Nasr. In the year 1079, when Faadumo was 19 years old her mother Aasha gave birth to yet another son named Isman, Aasha was once again enraged because his birth meant that her place as the Chieftess will be pushed further back. Faadumo was happy to start a new family with Taha and became pregnant and on November 21st, 1080 she gave birth to her first child, a baby boy named Khalaf. The boy had a bright future ahead of him **To be Continued....**
