Armino'Sahd Habbei

Armino'Sahd Habbei (IGN: ArminoSambrino), is the Ilajeru of Ajek'Hreh province within the Emirate of Najer. He began as the Seyoh of Sah'Rora, but very quickly climbed the ranks, to being the Ilajeru of Ajek'Hreh.

44 AB
Armino was born to the nomadic people, Jaden'Sahd, they were a peaceful people that travelled the wandering deserts. From a young age Armino was bright, and shown to do be able to do many basic tasks, such as raise sheep, forage, and fight. Everything was going well until he got lost one day in the bustling city of Murmurdas, he was only 7 years old. The following days he searched for his family however he could not find them. For the following 12 years he lived in Murmurdas, he made friends, met the people he loves, and the place he calls home. For someone unfortunate he was leading a fulfilling life.

One night he was awoken by a bright, glowing light in the sky, almost as bright as the sun itself. He stared at it for sometimes, it was mesmerizing. He realized that the light was expanding, however instead of illuminating more of the night sky, the light was casting a shadow. Blackout

Modern Age
Armino awoke, he saw himself within a large structure, confused where he was, he stepped out of the structure and he noticed 2 other individuals that seemed to be in the same predicament as himself. Their names were Hemant, a decorated warrior, and Yosh, who was just a child.

Armino and the others decided to look around the area of the Temple-structure, they quickly noticed that the sands were sharp and hard, on closer inspection the saw that the sand had large amounts of salt. Disregarding the revelation, they looked around the ruins of Murmurdas, or what was left of Murmurdas, the land seemed to have been completely flattened and destroyed, having almost no resemblance to the once bright city they lived in. All 3 men started feeling emotional and worried about what could have happened to the city while they were left slumbering.

Upon a further inspection of the area they noticed nearby civilization, they came to learn that the town was named Abu'Hamrah, however they had no recollection of these buildings ever being here. Wondering what could have happened the 3 men decided to form a pact, a promise to find out what happened to the land, and to return Murmurdas to its former glory. As a symbol of this promise they took on the last name of 'Sahd, meaning Glowing, officially becoming Armino'Sahd, Hemant'Sahd, and Yosh'Sahd.

In the following weeks the group constructed many buildings, a farm and a sheep pen in order to live off the land, very quickly Armino and Hemant became like brothers, and Armino decided to adopt Yosh as his own son. Their small settlement was rapidly growing, this caught the eyes of some curious people.

One evening Armino was informed by Hemant of a sign left by someone, asking for a chat. Armino not knowing what to do decided to contact this mysterious person and see what they wanted. When Armino met with this person, he learned that he was Azzar, the leader of the Order of the Red Quarterstaff; the Ilajeru of Sadahef province of Najer. Azzar started by showing a map of Najer, along with where they were, Armino brought up that Murmurdas was not on the map. Azzar confused, explained that Murmurdas had been gone for over 100 100 years, it had been destroyed in the span of a night, no one really knowing what happened to the city.

Armino returned home, devastated with the news of Murmurdas being wiped off the map, but further more that he was over 100 years in the future. He broke the news to the other 2, and they had the same reaction as him. The good news was that their small settlement was now apart of the great Emirate of Najer. They officially named the land Sah'Rora, and Armino'Sahd was now known as a Seyoh.

Building of Sah'Rora
In the coming months Armino, Hemant and Yosh worked together to developed the lands, they had set up many new buildings, and even met some new people, KevinMuncher, and Egg. The traveler pair had gone travelling searching a brewery to work for, Armino seeing these people lead him to offer them to stay in Sah'Rora, and to start anew here. He provided them with housing and a bar for them to start brewing, alcohol. That night the group of 5 partied all night long!

A month later Armino was exploring the beaches of Sah'Rora and saw a shipwreck. He ran towards the boat and climbed aboard what looked to be like the deck. He then spotted the Cabin, it was blocked by a broken door, after some struggle he managed to move the door. The air was dusty, bugs were crawling everywhere, There was a skeleton sitting on a make-shift chair, avoiding the scary skeleton he looked around he saw a large box. He approached the chest and opened it up, a shiny, golden glow poured out, it was filled to the brim with gold! Armino started celebrating how rich he was going to be with all this gold. Suddenly the gold started to float, Armino mesmerized by this decided to watch, the skeleton on the chair also began to rise, they met together in the air, gushing out rays of golden flames. Seconds later Armino opened his eyes to see what that flash of light was, in front of him was a young woman. Armino surprised, was left speechless. He looked around for the gold that was here moments ago, but it was no where to be seen. He started shouting at the young lady about what she did with the gold, he was go angry he didn't even realize that parts of her skeleton where still exposed. Confused, Armino eventually put together that she was some how brought back to life.

Weeks had past and Teuta had learned to speak Najer, and was working on for Armino on the farm. She seemed to be very a cheery person, one who enjoyed doing even the most basic of tasks. She was often seen playing around with the sheep, happy that she was once again alive. The others also warmed up to her, and they quickly found that Teuta was a heavy alcoholic, she enjoyed the bar nights that they would hold within Sah'Rora.

A guest at one of these bar nights war Jalim Habbei, the Prime Minister of Najer. Armino and Jalim got to know each other very well and became close friends. Jalim brought up the idea of joining the Habbei Pom, in truth Armino had been thinking of joining the Bacri Pom. Not only was it the closest Pom to Sah'Rora, but his ancestors, the Jaden'Sahd Pom, had been absorbed by the Bacri and Habbei. Jalim convinced Armino by stating that the current Bacri Pom was having some issues with leadership, as many of the members believed that the leader was changing too much. Armino and the rest of Sah'Rora joined the Habbei Pom, they held a warm welcome party, where Teuta drank too much once more.

Soon after the Emir, and the rest of the High Najer Government started to recognize Armino and his resolve to "revive" Murmurdas. So they offered that Armino should expand Sah'Rora and allow Abu'Hamrah to join the city. Armino was happy to do so, knowing that his ancestors had lived in that ghost town only a couple decades ago. He started by first laying out roads, and creating a new farm for Teuta to work on. He made the castle in Abu'Hamrah his official home. As a safety precaution Armino decided to explore all the ruins before restoring them. On his trot he discovered the source of the Holy Water that Abu'Hamrah had, it was a blessing left behind by the God of Water, Gafa. For what ever reason he felt that if he approached the water he would get injured. At the end of his inspection he found a den, surrounded by passionate flames. Mesmerized Armino approached the alter, and out came a giant flaming bird. Armino gazed upon the Phoenix, feeling as though he knew this flame, not from memory, but rather his soul.

Several more months past and Sah'Rora was slowly gaining recognition for the massive growth they had in only a short amount of time. They had built many stores, and houses. People were starting to be recommended to join the small town. Among those recommended were Beowulf and Dyedhalo, according to them, they had died, and woke up in another world. Their stories were amazing, they were about a world of peace. Speaking about flat sheets which could show images, black boxes that could capture moments of time and replay them, a world where people did not starve. They also mentioned getting kicked out of Kijea'Jad by Hamzar the Tahel of Culture over a misunderstanding. Influenced by their stories Armino offered them a place to live, they accepted, and even decided to open a clan within Sah'Rora. They formed the Snow Clan. Soon after Egg would join their clan.

Political Ventures
Armino's next venture was to establish more ties with the rest of Najer, his group had been odd balls from the beginning. He started with sending Beowulf as sort of a diplomat, to meet with various people from different parts of Najer. Beowulf visited Hadu'Jira, Nishaat, Ajek Point, and Kijaro, in the process meeting Ilajeru of Ajek'Hreh: Dernavos, High Seyoh: Nishaat, Seyoh: Samuraii, and Tahel of Economy: Shadow. He scheduled meetings for them with Armino, so he could get to know them on a 1-on-1 basis. With Dernavos he spoke of employability for his citizens, and Dernavos shared wanting to have a games-tournament for Najer. With Nishaat, Armino and Beowulf formed the Alarm Clock Party, it was a faction aligned to make Najer wake up, as there had been many issues revolving around leadership at the time. Samuraii and Armino came to an agreement to have workers at Ajek Point export their crops to the rest of Ajek'Hreh, since their yearly harvests were very bountiful. Shadow has mentioned that he wanted to expand the markets of Najer and make them global, Beowulf told Armino that he could handle the specifics of this arduous task. At the end of Arminos campaign he managed to become great friends with all the people he met with.

After a while the Alarm Clock Party had started to take off, a lot of people recognized the problems that were on the rise in Najer. Dernavos, being a part of that issue, had his position petitioned away by the rest of the High Government by Nishaat, even though Armino and Beowulf were very great friends with him, he had in recent time been doing some questionable things. A month later, Armino was summoned to the great government building within Nahrayn. He was promoted to the new Ilajeru of Ajek'Hreh, on recommendation by Ameri Susanda, Jalim Habbei, and Hiero Habbei. This was a surprise to him as he was not expecting this even in his wildest of dreams. He graciously accepted, and pledged his allegiance to the Najer High Government and its countries' peoples.

Awakening
As part of his promotion to Ilajeru, Armino established a market district in Sah'Rora where he sold many products from all over Ajek'Hreh. often getting buyers from Najera'Jad and Sadahef provinces. However he had been starting to hear a voice in his head from time to time, a deep powerful voice. One night while going to sleep, he dreamt of a fiery egg in the sky, standing over him, out hatched a bird. The Phoenix. It spoke to him, but he could not understand his words, as he slowly faded back to reality. In the morning Armino had started to ponder whether that Phoenix is what saved his life, and brought Teuta back to life as well.

Months had passed, Armino could understand and make out some words that the Phoenix was saying in his dreams. However what happened next was something he could never anticipate. It was a normal day, like any other. On a bright day, Armino had been cleaning up his shores, when he spotted a green-blue root that had sprouted off the coast, near Pomjad. He saw people running away from the roots. After attending to any wounds they had, he asked what had occurred, "They've lost their minds!" pant pant, "They're going around killing people, and then turning them into one of them, it's a real zombie infection!". Hearing that, Armino quickly reached out to Shadow, Dernavos, Azzar and Nishaat so they could prepare defenses before the infected could reach Sah'Rora. They built a military outpost, boarded up many of the streets, and built large walls in critical points.

After about 3 days of preparing, the infected could be seen approaching Sah'Rora. Together they all fought off the Zombies using enhanced weapons. Early on in the battle Armino and Nishaat were defending the northern seas, however they were caught off guard and got injured; they were taken to the outpost, and focused on providing aerial support rather than being on the frontlines. Shadow, Azzar and Dernavos were working together, but were pushed back from the Abu'Hamrah area. They retreated back to the market district, opting to hold that point instead. Beowulf and Dyedhalo were struggling in the farming district, thankfully though it seemed Teuta wasn't affected much by the virus, as she was an undead. Single handedly she was able to deter most of the undead coming for the farming district. Beowulf was starting to got arrogant and wanted to show off like Teuta was, he ran up to an infected and split him in half. Dyedhalo followed en suite and they helped catch the stragglers that got through. However a huge infected monster began its siege on the farming district. Teuta tried to attack its feet, but nothing occurred, it began charging at them, crashing into some buildings. Armino and the others heard the commotion and noticed all the infected were pathing towards the large monster. In turn they moved over to the farming district in order to fight the large wave gathering. Azzar and Dernavos started to attack the monster, inflicting some damage, the monster in retaliation sent off a ray of energy, which hit Beowulf, Dyedhalo and Teuta, which were coming to help Azzar and Dernavos. Armino seeing this ran to them to make sure they were fine, Teuta emerged from the rubble, seemingly fine, however Beowulf and Dyedhalo were not moving. Armino began to check for their vitals, seeing that they didn't even become infected, they were pulverized. Armino having nothing else to rely on, began speaking to the Phoenix within his mind,


 * "Help me, please, these are my greatest allies" Said Armino in a concerned voice.
 * "I cannot" Replied the Phoenix.
 * "Why?! I know you were able to revive Teuta, why not them? If it's wealth you wish for I can provide all, I will even devote myself to you!" Shouted Armino angerily.
 * "There is nothing that I can do, they are not of this realm or the other". Explained the Phoenix

Armino was speechless, he realized that the Phoenix was right, they had always spoken of how they had awoken in this world. In his fit of anger, Armino focused on the monster that everyone else was still fighting. His inner anger set himself ablaze and suddenly the creature was engulfed in heavenly flames, eating away at the creatures mass. However very quickly Armino lost all his energy and passed out. Dernavos seeing the opportunity used his blessing from Shevarro, releasing a melodic sound that completely perished the monster, and all surrounding infected.

Following the victory, much of the city was under reconstruction. A large funeral was held for all the deaths that occurred in order to save Sah'Rora. However Azzar knew that this wasn't the last of the infected, and sent a recruiting post in order to organize a group in order to exterminate the rest of the infected that may attack the surrounding cities. Armino was heart broken at the thought of losing two of his greatest friends and locked himself away for a short while, before long he decided to help with the rebuilding efforts.

The Capital: Nahrayn
Armino decided to go on a Pilgrimage to Nahrayn. Beowulf always spoke about going on one, to foreign countries and seeing how they ran things. Upon arrival Armino decided to decorate his office in the parliament building. Soon thereafter he heard of the Dernavos Trial taking place, and decided to attend. After the trial it was said that Jalim Habbei would also get trialed for the crimes he may have committed. Armino was hired by Jalim as his lawyer. He spent days on collecting evidence, working closely with Chancellor Hiero and Emir Jakkev. When he appeared in court, Armino presented a very strong case, providing victory for Jalim, who had trust in his skills. Following the victory Armino, Azzar, and Leoni were summoned to Steeltrack Manor, and helped solve a murder case. Armino was having a fun time travelling, however he started feeling a creeping feeling of inevitable doom, soon after returning home to continue developing the new districts of Sah'Rora.

The End?
Armino and the rest of the Sah'Rorans built up the remaining of the plans that Armino had designed. The feeling of impending doom did not fade away. He felt his mind, body and soul disconnecting from one another, often finding him self lost thinking of non-sensical things and his body seemed to not be working at times. Eventually he spoke up, and asked the Phoenix:


 * "What am I feeling? Why am I not functioning, and why do I feel like doomsday is upon us?" He asked.
 * "The fabric this realm is unthreading. I'm afraid time has run out." The Phoenix replied.
 * "What do you mean? Will we all die? What will happen to our World?" Sounding ever-so-slightly concerned.
 * "Time has run out, the people of this realm will be lucky if they can slip through the cracks, however I can move you and the Pirate girl to the next. It will take a lot of my own power, and you two will be indefinitely indebted to me." Said the Phoenix.
 * "Fine take us there!" Armino shouted hastily.

Armino not knowing what awaited him and Teuta, reluctantly accepted the worlds fate. He did not let anyone know, as to not frighten the citizens or other Najer Government members. To commemorate this history, he held a party, a parting gift with all of this realm. As he felt the last threads rip, he thanked the Phoenix for providing the second chance of life he never deserved. Once again... all went dark.

Personality
Armino is a very friendly person, people often sing his praises, but also say he helps out too much. Often times he doesn't realize that he is making the problem worse. He tries to get along with everyone, but don't get fooled, once angry he is merciless. He is known to get down in the dumps when things don't turn out how he wants them to. He is shy around new people, and especially girls. He is loyal to Najer and would never dream of doing anything in disservice of the nation.

Combat
Armino is nimble with a blade, often recognized for his speed, he lacks power and struggles to collaborate with people, but he still tries his best to be friendly. His agility allows him to close the gap between himself and long ranged fighters, at the same time allowing himself to keep his distance from close range warriors. Armino is well known for using his flintknock pistol as a method of quick transport, because he is light when he feeds it lots of gunpowder and fires he gets knocked back 10-20 meters.

Armino carries a curved blade called a Shamshir and a flintknock pistol. The pouches on his belt contain 3 gunpowder bags that he can quickly load into his flintknock in order to do his special move.

Being an Avatar of the Phoenix, Armino can access some of the Phoenix's blessings, such as immortality, heavenly flames (unconsciously), and revival, albeit revival does sacrifice a lot of treasure.
