Abandoned
As soon after Ameri was born, her parents abandoned her in the desert. One night the wanderer found her under the crescent moon. He took Ameri to the Bacri Pom and trusted them with her care. They raised Ameri like one of their own and trusted Susanda Kristinta to take care of her. He asked the tribe if he could bring her to Kigea’jad and they agreed.

Life in Kigea'jad
Very few knew of Ameri's existence in Kigea'jad. Susanda rarely told anyone about her. She mostly spent her life inside cooking, reading, and sewing. She learned many recipes in her time at home and loves to cook for guests. However, there was a horrible incident in 75 AB.

Ameri was outside to watering the garden when she got jumped by five Vulpers. She was then kidnapped and taken to a dark alley. There they started abusing her. Unfortunately for them, Ameri had her crystal of Venzun on her. She pulled it out and stabbed all five of her kidnappers.

Hunt for Her Father
In 78 A.B. right before Susanda went missing, he gave Ameri the crown of the Venzun. This crown makes her age four times slower than the normal human would.

Ameri Susanda was very involved for the hunt for her father, Susanda Kristinta. She was greatly affected mentally and was forced to become more independent. For more information read about it here, (Link to the wiki)

Hirudo Talvos Stepping Down
When Hirudo Talvos stepped down from Emir in late 77 AB, Ameri was greatly saddened. Especially as this was during her father's disappearance. She was inspired by Hirudo and loved what he stood for. However, with him stepping down, Ameri gained great ambition to climb the ranks of The Najer Government. She wishes to strengthen Najer.

Kafas niv Jaseda
In 78 A.B. Asdrubal entrusted Ameri with the ownership of Kafas niv Jaseda. This was the first step in Ameri's path towards increased service to Najer.

Ameri Susanda built a home for herself in Kafas and planned to move there. However, in 79 A.B. after her home was complete, Orshav asked her to become the mayor of Kigea'jad. Ameri turned down the offer with the reasoning of, "Vulpers live there, I don't trust them." After that incident Ameri completed her home in Kafas by furnishing her bedroom, kitchen and dining room.

The year of promotions
In 80 A.B. Ameri Susanda achieved another goal towards serving Najer. She was promoted to Governor of Najera'jad and Faircril of The Lost gods after Orshav stepped down. Ameri took a year to figure out what to do, and in this time, she decided to finish the investigation of her father.

New Wealth Opportunities
In 85 A.B., Ameri took on reading lots of new books. She decided to open a bookstore and made over 300k there with the help of some friends. After her success with the bookstore, she worked on Najera'jad infrastructure, she spent a lot of money funding roads, canals and bridges.

Around 88 A.B. Ameri took on the name Belna and started working as a secret assassin and sometimes a bandit. From this job she gained wealth along with some valuable and skilled friends. however, the results of her childhood and new jobs have caused her to become a little blood lusted. She tries to keep herself under control, but sometimes finds herself going to the Nether to kill.

Giving up Faircril
In 90 A.B. Ameri gave the position of Faircril to Alaxander. She believed he was a much better leader for the Lost Gods then she was. She then exited from church activities.

Melthir's Death
Ameri was given the task of stopping Melthir from joining Avmos'tal. She sunk into the inn he was staying at in the middle of the night and harvested his soul. She stored his soul in the crystal of Venzun, stopping it from giving off its standard health effects.

Marriage 91 A.b.
Caria Heshtevc was a merchant nomad who traveled to Kafas niv Jaseda seeking to sell his goods. However, he got trampled by one of Ameri's horses in the streets on the way. Ameri apologized profusely, asking if there was anything she could do. To which he responded he needed a place to stay. Knowing of an empty residence, she helped him move into a tiny house across from her home.

After that incident, they saw each other regularly and often chatted around the city. Ameri began to get feelings for Caria and tested him. Her test was morally screwed up, as expected from Ameri. She handed him a mug full of "Black Tea" to drink. However, he noticed something was off and set it alight with a flint and steel. The entire cup ignited in his hand. Caria chuckled while on fire, "Decay absinthe ey?" Ameri astonished he didn't fall for her trick like so many others, rushed him to her bathtub and extinguished his hands. Once his wounds were properly dressed, Ameri confessed to him, "Caria, I-I like y-you..." "Says the girl who just tried to poison me."

They started dating, and after two years, they got married. They started living together in Kafas and are a happy couple.

Opening Kafas 96 A.B.
After completing the Spice Guild Headquarters in Kafas niv Jaseda, Ameri worked on advertising the market to increase traffic to the area. Many new stalls and shops were opened, and it is now a thriving market.

Ameri's Children 97 A.B.
Shortly after Opening Kafas to the public, Ameri gave birth to twins. Due to the stress of parenting and how much effort it took, Ameri slowly became less and less reliable. She decided it would be best for her and her people if she took a break. In 102 A.B. Ameri officially stepped down as governor temporarily after the split of the province.

The children's names are unique from the standard naming practices of Najer people. Instead of using the fist name of the parent of respective gender, Ameri decided to use her last name instead.

Kyoko Susanda and Myria Susanda
Kyoko and Myria Susanda were both born in 97 A.B. They both grew up in Ameri's Kafas home and were tutored by the local merchants on many aspects of life.

Goodbye Najera'jad 102 AB
In 102 AB Emir Alsham Talvos puts into effect the new province system. While Ameri had been the Governor of Najera'jad for 22 years, she did not apply to be the governor of the new Teju'aja province. Instead, she took the time to teach, play, and care for her children. While she missed the old provinces and friends, she enjoyed her new life as a mother and Seyoh. She completely disappeared from Najer politics and lived a mostly calming life free from the intensity of governmental management.

First Kafas Boat Race 109 AB
After being free from the stress of government Ameri wanted to host something that would be fun for many citizens. So, Ameri decided to use the canals in place at Kafas as a sort of racetrack. She invited all from across the lands to come and race their boats down the rapids, up waterfalls and around tight turns with the promise of prize money for the fastest. The whole event probed a huge success with many coming and enjoying the event, made even better when the Emir himself hired a band to play music during the whole event.

Called Back 113 AB
In 133, AB Ameri received a letter from Maeryna about becoming the new governor of Teju'aja as the previous governor had resigned. Craving the stress and entertainment of goverership, she agreed and was officially promoted to governor of Teju'aja. However, she was much older now and did not want to manage so many things at once, instead, she made the decision to pass Seyohship of Kafas to her daughter, Kyoko. However, Kyoko still needed guidance and help. Seeing her daughter work hard to keep Kafas in shape made Ameri very proud.

Shattered Crystal 119 AB
Ameri was on the run. The army fled like a group of pigs. It was a decisive defeat. Sprinting through the fields, Ameri attempted to flee the slaughter in the fortress. The enemy had breached the walls, and she was separated from her allies.

A skilled enemy pearled in front of her, she quickly changed her trajectory. However, she made a miss calculation and was pinned against a wall. Fighting for her life, she slashed, ducked, and jumped to fight off this attacker, but she was not strong enough. It had been years since she joined a battle, preferring to fight one on one. Being rusty, she was eventually knocked out and looted.

After the crushing defeat, the enemy side ransomed off the looted items. One of which was The Crystal of Venzun, which Ameri carried on her. Sensing a need to recover it, Ameri attempted to buy it back. However, realizing the value of the crystal, the opposing side put a price that was unaffordable to her. Knowing the crystal was too powerful to be left in enemy hands, she devised a plan to steal it back.

She had lost other war gear in the fight along with the crystal. Ameri told the dealer to bring all her items back, and she would pay for them. The dealer sent a goon out, and Ameri began trading. Once the dealer had given her the items, she started to pay. Slowly counting out her cash. Once she had paid for the weapons and armor, she started to run. Mounting her horse, she galloped off into the wilderness. The goon tried to stop her but only shot an arrow into Ameri’s satchel, and she got away.

Once Ameri returned to Kafas niv Jaseda, she opened her bag and realized. The crystal of Venzun had been shattered. Ameri knew this was the end. With the crystal’s magic gone, all the aging it had prevented before caught up with her. She started to feel weak, calling for Caria, and soon, she collapsed onto her bed.

Death 120 AB
Ameri had lived since 64 AB, she had seen many things, people dying, people arriving, political strife, war, and peace. At times she was stressed, others sad, and sometimes overjoyed. All things that occur with the passing of time. She was now lying on her bed, thinking of the past, surrounded by her family. She had lived a good life. Helped many, cried for many, and fought for many, but now it was time for the bells to toll for her.

Ameri would be remembered, she hoped that the Emirate would live on. She was glad to be free of the stress but was saddened that she couldn’t spend more time with those she loved. Ameri cried as the last time she would see Kafas, her family, and all her friends. There would soon be suffering for all of them.

The right bell rang. People gathered around the shrine. Just as had been said long ago, Ameri’s family chanted the ancient words in the funeral.

Loss creates pain

Death creates sorrow

All is in vain

Nothing left for tomorrow

And with that, the crowd sang the words written long ago by Delium Venzun:

Noh ne dola zun... Toh ne leva zun... Reh zun... Reh zun, leva zun. Noh ne dola zun... Toh ne leva zun... Reh zun... Reh zun... Reh zun...

Wrapped in customary blue robes. Ameri was lowered into the ground. The right bell was rung one more time. Silence filled the streets. Slowly, people walked back to their homes. Ameri was buried but was to be moved to a safer place in time.

Departing 123 AB-125 AB
Jolting up from bed, Ameri finds herself sweating and shaking. She had just dreamed of her death, a vision from Mayassioh. Then soon after her waking, she passed out again and received yet another vision. However, this time it was a look to the past.

As she dreamed, she remembered Susanda, her father. Susanda had talked to her about Mayassioh when she was little. He told her about gazing at the crescent moon while burning spices and praying for good sleep. He told her of friendship in the Bacri tribe, speaking of his close friendship with Asdrubal Hanno, how they would play under the moonlight, cause mischief, and all the fun of childhood. Most importantly, though, he told Ameri stories of receiving dreams from Mayassioh. Dreams that, in time, would cause his eventual death.

She remembered how he had once told her of a strange dream where he was killed in Sigtuna. They both dismissed it as a silly dream because why would he ever need to leave for Sigtuna? However, during the investigation after his disappearance, the evidence showed his kidnapping took place in the outskirts of Sigtuna.

Awaking again, Ameri frantically conveyed her dreams to Caria so they would not forget. During breakfast, Ameri brought it up with the family. After a long discussion, they decided it would be best for Ameri to take advice from the dreams, retire and move to a safer, more relaxing place than the harsh sands of The Wandering Desert.

Reluctantly Ameri agreed. She would miss the sand, the warmth and cold, and most especially, the people. Being born in the Desert itself, being rescued by the wanderer and taken to the Bacri for safety, Ameri had no clue how life in another place would be. Thinking for days, Ameri found a location perfect for her retirement.
