Al-Sahibr Dynasty

This is a custom lore page about the player Barakhâr IV (also known as professor hunter). It uses various members of the al-Sahibr Dynasty to tell the mostly accurate tale of his time on the official server. It should be understood that many records were left out, however this wiki still highlights some key points of his server life.

## Origins of the Dynasty

The al-Sahibr Dynasty is a succession of noblemen in the lands of Harad. It is commonly seen in many forms: al-Sahibr, al-Sahib'aar, or shorten as Sahib. The birthplace of the Dynasty remains cloudy and unclear, however it is presumed that The First al-Sahibr wandered into the Fertile Valley from the vast lands of Rhûn.

Many have failed to pinpoint the exact location of the origins of the al-Sahibr bloodlines, but it is estimated that the first historical evidence was found north of the Last Desert and west of the Wild Woods. Evidence from a past settlement once built along the river banks held artifacts from a tomb that many historians suggest was the burial site of a past bloodline member. However, the name of this past settlement is widely uncertain and leaves many to wonder the purposes of this area. Furthermore, it is suggested that the family fled from the settlement after continuous raids from eastern Avari tribes and northern travelers venturing southward to the Mountains of the Wind, ultimately leaving the settlement in ruins.

The family's excruciating journey took years as they ventured downward into the Last Desert and across the Mountains, leaving everything but their hope behind. The hope they dwindled on was to venture into a land coined Harad, where songs and poems wrote of vineyards and orchids, golden rays of sunlight, endless supplies of goods, and the leadership of a powerful Empress. Thus, they managed to take a merchant ship, belonging to the Khan of Rhúdel's Empire, and flee into the Fertile Valley (newly named the Gulf of Harad).

## The First al-Sahibr

The first al-Sahibr to reach the Fertile Valley was awestruck in its beauty; the songs and poems had been correct. He ventured first to the legendary city of Ajtiaz al-Harad, ruled by the the Astrasi-Empress Shamiir. Ajtiaz al-Harad was an astonishing and well-built city of the period, known for its vast and useful markets. The first member of the Dynasty renamed his surname into Sahibr to culturally blend into the masses of Harad. He had kept the 'aar of his previous name, and the full surname became known as al-Sahib'aar.

From this, he ventured to the upcoming Cedar City, established by Vizier of Near Harad Sakharr III. The first Sahibr and Sakharr III grew together into a strong-bonded friendship that would last years. Cedar City was an ever growing establishment based on the trade of the most notorious wood of the time: cedar wood.

From this era, al-Sahibr the first was able to grasp the understanding of governing and learn the ancient historical importance of the Astrasi Empire. He was educated on powerful imperial figures such as Karseius III of Ain al-Harad and the significance of the Harpy of Astras. He had been madly aspired and influenced by Shamiir's power in the Empire, expanding from the harbors of Poros to the volcanos in the land of Perdorogwaith. However, Shamiir's relentless power came to an ease when she stepped down and named Arakhar as the new Serpertlord of Near Harad.

## The Second al-Sahibr

The second al-Sahibr was greatly appeased by the expansive lush jungles of Far Harad and insisted on becoming a Tauredain (Taurethrim). Historically, the Astrasi Empire had a grip on the jungles and it was divided between two Kingdoms. The Southern Tauredain, ruled by Chieftain Julianroma, and the Northern Astrasi Tauredain, ruled by Manveru. The second al-Sahibr joined the Northern Astrasi Tauredain and proceeded to aid Sakharr in the building of Ya'ax Kaah.

However, Manveru soon grew very old and passed away peacefully in his sleep. Manveru's death allowed for the rise of Cizin al-Korth and thus the tensions arose. The Astrasi Empire was struggling to maintain its foreign colonies and the Moredain (Morwaith) later gained independence. This sparked influence in the mind of Cizen al-Korth and he was determined to put an end to the Astrasi occupation of the Northern Jungle. The second al-Sahibr and other Astrasi nobles tried their best to maintain their influence in Far Harad, but Cizin al-Korth remained successful and the New Taurethrim Empire was established.

The second al-Sahibr was able to prolong his Astrasi citizenship, while also maintaining membership apart of the newly established Taurethrim. In order to do so, he had to give up any chance of gaining (or past gain) of power in the jungle. Later, he had built a home in the new Taurethrim capitol of Otoch Kâh and settled calmly after the chaos of the Age of Tension.

the al-Sahibr family was still very enriched in Astrasi culture and customs and was deeply saddened to see the last Harpy statue removed from the mighty jungles. However, the second al-Sahibr still shared a deep connection to the Taurethrim and maintained loyal to the Tribe of Falastaur. In spite of loyalty, there appeared a new tension-- war. Cizen al-Korth had previously joined the Iron Pact consisting of Angmar, Dunland, Dol Guldur, the Astrasi Empire, and the Taurethrim. Furthermore, the Kingdom of Arnor (apart of the Coalition of Dawn) declared war on Dunland and the Taurethrim was thrown into the melting pot. The second al-Sahibr was vocal about maintaining neutrality within the war, but was dismissed. The war was ultimate chaos and fell in the demise of the Iron Pact, leaving it to ultimately collapse.

After the death of Cizen al-Korth, his son Tecun al-Korth took power. Although all the change and chaos, the Al-Sahibr Dynasty never regretted their time apart of the Taurethrim. The family was able to create long-lasting friendships, such as with Afrobro, whom would go on to become leader of the kingdom in years to come. The al-Sahibr Dynasty would also maintain a good heart with the jungle men and would create many alliances with them in the near future.
