LunarTotems/Lion

Introduction

Four years ago, the people of Bana Muntair rose up against the Khan, led by a golden haired warrior with a voice like a God and the strength of a demon, they brought down the dictator. The warrior, Shahim Voice of Thunder, was raised up and became the new Khan to the Cities people, and among his first acts was to sever all ties with the hated Realm.

At the time of the rebellion, the local Garrisons were forced to deal with an influx of Horse-People raiding and plundering, and Bana Muntairs turn over was put to the side, then, the Empress dissapeared and the legions were recalled almost to the man to defend the Isle.

Now, four years later, Consul V'Neef Cora was expected to take a small contingent of troops, and along with four other Dragon-Blooded, retake Bana Muntair and set up a puppet for the Realm. Despite her amazing success with rebellious cities and peoples, Cora had a feeling of defeat lurking inside as she met with the man they called Shahim Voice of Thunder.

The exotic tattoos running up and down the length of his muscular dark body were mesmerizing and frightening, and he was an attractive and intimidating man. Large and muscular, with broad shoulders and a pearly smile that was startling against the darkness of his tanned skin, his eyes were the color of coal, but it was his hair that caught attention, a thick and wild mane of golden brown hair that was held back be leather thongs.

"You and your Realm have no power here anymore Consul, your Empress is gone, your Legions are weakened and you have no leader as of yet. You cannot possible hope to take back this land from my people and hold it. My allies among the Horse-warriors will harry your flanks, while the mercenary troops from the East will support my people." His voice was heavy and deep, a low rumble that brought to mind images of a cat on the prowl.

Knowing when you could not win, was as important as audacity, and this was a battle the Realm could not win...yet.

Nodding, she acceded defeat, pulled up her troops and headed North, there would come a time when the upstart Khan and his people fell, but it would not be until the Realm was again strong and solidified in its purpose.

Until then, Khan Shahim would rule his golden plains and the gleaming city of Bana Muntair undisputed.
