Elder Horris

Horris Fendar was born 27 years before the conclusion of the First Great War which engulfed the entirety of Shameah. While Gromdarr did not use the same tracking of time, Angrarian time was eventually adopted. As a child he was raised hardly by his father, Elder Shawkim, but rather by the military council advising his father. As a child, Horris made good friends with the children of other royal families ruling the adjacent nations. When the Conquest of Elder Shawkim happened, most of Horris’s friends were brutally slaughtered. Horris vowed to get revenge on his father for this. He studied and became a very adept military leader, and became the commander of the Gromdarran army.

His father began to become increasingly more violent and hostile towards his family, his advisors, his people, and the nations he was unable to defeat (all nations East of Aridia). Horris was very passionate, and with the help of a secret group of military leaders wanting Shawkim dead, Horris had his father arrested and thrown in the dungeon in the Royal Palace of Squal'la'Icorax.

In year 76, Elder Shawkim was brought before a council comprising of the newly proclaimed Elder Horris, six generals of the army, three of which were part of the resistance movement, and four local governors from nearby towns. Elder Shawkim was denounced and proclaimed an enemy to Gromdarr. Elder Horris tied him to a post of a ship in the Bay of Blo'Shar and flayed. While still alive after being flayed, Elder Shawkim and the rest of the boat was filled with the hair of prisoners that he had collected for tens of years. The boat was then lit on fire and sent into the center of the bay to burn.

Elder Horris began his rule. Elder Horris began his rule as a very kind leader. He still kept the strict military law that was in place by his ancestors of old, but he created my social policies that benefited the people. Elder Horris also allowed the ten 'travelers' from Angrar to rule the now empty lands. However as Elder Horris grew old, he began to grow very bitter and senile, as he was very horribly inbred which led to many mental issues. Elder Horris greatly increased his desire for war and took part in many battles as well as instigated the Second Great War.

Elder Horris's son, Justin Fendar, through Horris' sister-wife, Orisha, eventually had Elder Horris arrested in the same way as his father before him. The newly crowned Elder Justin had his father flayed, cooked into soup, and then proceeded to feed the homeless of Squal'la'Icorax with his father soup.
