BIO
Her grandfather was a barbarian from the foreign lands who settled in Ferox with his men and selected bastard children. They were outlaws who ravaged the countryside and gave the ruling khan trouble. They did not operate like normal barbarians, employing strategies, gathering intelligence, developing weapons and tools and such - this eloquence accentuated their viciousness. For clearly her grandfather and his men were learned and educated, aware of the atrocities of their crime, but they grin and hack their way through and dye the ground with blood. After eight years, the terror ended abruptly upon her grandfather's death and for thirty more years, they weren't heard again.
Her grandfather's name was quite forgotten. There were some areas in Ferox that remembered his name but he became a thing of the past. Her grandfather was smiling from his grave. No one realized this monster intended to return and sow chaos again.
Where did all the stolen riches go? What replaced the villages that had been burned? What happened to the rest of the barbarians? They invested. They rebuilt. They were growing. Under the khan's nose, his dynasty steadily rose in power. In a country that favoured physical might, it wasn't hard. Add bribery, diplomacy, blackmailing, money, and connections to it, a dangerous calamity was festering within Ferox.
A century had past and Sakalam, Feroxi and Ylissean blood flowing in her from her parents, rose to prominence as the khan of eastern Ferox. The people have been watching her. Sakalam, the strong and ferocious axe-wielder who boasted strength, beauty, and intelligence. But the people had no idea of her dark, bloodthirsty roots. The ravage that was her grandfather took place on the other side of the country in western Ferox. Sakalam had popped far across and made her beginnings in the east while most of her influence lied on the other side.
Sakalam began as a normal warrior as young as fourteen. She challenged countless warriors and bested them in battle. It was simple and straightforward in Ferox. But Sakalam did not blindly seek glory. She calculated her fame, timed her exposures. When there are promising names and warriors about, Sakalam retreated from the limelight and opted to watch from a corner until her deeds were overshadowed. Then she would come again, time and time. People knew her, and are happy to know she's still around.
When the last khan died, Sakalam took the opportunity and went all-out. It wasn't easy. Compared to the force she had in western khan, hers in the east was only a portion of the state. She plowed her way through until most of the territories fell under her jurisdiction. Because the majority was hers, she was recognized as the eastern khan but within the country itself, there are still people claiming themselves to be the true khan.
Sakalam is taking care of these deluded khans as she should be. She had yet to show her true colours, however.
OTHER
The age of dragons and deities are over. The relic of the past is being torn apart by the tides of change. A new era is opening - only the flames of war can evoke the next evolution. Let the restless beasts rampage to sharpen their claws. Protect the pigs and cattle to let the battle grow. Allow disasters to strike - nature knows best. Sakalam is bidding her time so she could rip asunder the fragile seams that kept the continent from blowing in another war.
