Al'Khaazar

Prince Al'Khaazar was born around 120 BC to the Emperor, an extremely powerful figure who ruled over the Misbah Desert for many centuries, with an empire known as the Akkadian Empire. He was the Emperor's 26th son, amid a myriad of other sons that he had. At one point, he travelled beyond the walls, exiting the Empire's borders and exploring the rest of Aurelia. There, he learned that the rest of the world was vibrant and magical, unlike what he had thought before: he was likely taught that the Emperor was like a God, the only individual who could harness magic in the entire Desert.

Outraged that the Emperor's world was a lie, and wanting to save the people of the Empire from his false influence that he is a God amongst men. Al'Khaazar travelled back to the Empire, and met with his father in his royal residence. After a short quarrel, Al'Khaazar jumped at his father and assassinated him, taking his scepter, the source of his magical power. However, the Emperor had placed a curse on his scepter, and as soon as Al'Khaazar usurped his power, it created a great sandstorm that raged on for years, and buried the entire empire under the sand.

Al'Khaazar, realizing how immensely powerful the scepter actually was, hid it in an undisclosed location so that nobody could find it, and misuse it like his father once did. While travelling across the Great Desert, he was attacked and beaten by unknown subjects. He was then promptly assassinated. The attackers left his body rot in the middle of the desert. Months go by, some of his father's loyal subjects would find Al'Khaazar's body decaying in the sands. Though spiteful that he caused the Empire to face a cataclysmic demise, they bury him within the Pyramids of Al'Khaazar and use magic to seal the entrance to the Pyramid, to make sure that he would never leave.
