Guide to the Immortals

AHAMANNI TURTLERIDER
Patroness of the Clan of the Turtle
Level, Alignment, Sphere: 13 th (Celestial), LG,
Thought
Symbol: A necklace of whalebone
Portfolio: Clan of the turtle, sea, family, sacrifice,
beauty
Worshipped in: Known World (Atruaghin clans)
Appearance: Ahmanni is a beautiful, tall and slim
copper-skinned woman, with long black hair gathered in
a plait and colourful paints on her face. She usually
carries a harpoon and is dressed in simple clothes of
doeskin. Often appearing near the sea, she is always
preceded by a bank of fog from which she emerges
standing on her feet in a canoe that moves at her
command.
History: Ahmanni knew Atruaghin in about 1262
BC, from when he was still a mortal (although ageless) to
the day he finished unifying the tribes. She remained
close to him, sharing his dreams as a devoted lover, until
his eternal youth became undeniable and he chose to
leave. She then became the tribal head, her clan adopting
the totem of Ahmanni (the turtle) as its own. Ahmanni
was killed in the battles against the Red Orcs when they
last invaded the lands of Atruaghin, enslaving his children
(1257 BC). However, following the return of Atruaghin,
who freed his children from the humanoid yoke in 800
BC, she was brought back to life by Atruaghin’s
intervention. After completing amazing deeds both in the
Atruaghin lands and in the Hollow World, with the
assistance of her ancient lover and under the guidance of
her patron Korotiku, in the VII century BC she achieved
Immortality in the Sphere of Thought.
Personality: Ahmanni is as unpredictable as the sea,
changing by the moment from gentle to impetuous. She
is extremely faithful to Atruaghin and is also a reliable ally
of Hattani and Mahmatti, while profoundly hating Danel
and Atzanteotl, who throw constant attacks against her
people (the only tribe to not live on the plateau of
Atruaghin), and any other Immortal patrons of the
humanoids.
Patron: Unknown [presumed Korotiku]

AL-KALIM
(The Peacemaker)
Patron of Ylaruam, Holy Prophet of the Eternal
Truth, Patron of Tactics and Warfare
Level, Alignment and Sphere: 3 rd (Initiate, LN),
Time
Symbol: Silhouette of a palm tree that grows in the
desert with a rising moon on the background
Portfolio: The Eternal Truth (obedience and respect
for laws, honesty, justice, honour, goodwill, wisdom,
prosperity), tactics and warfare
Worshipped in: Savage Coast (Gargoña and Saragón),
Known World (Darokin, Ierendi, Ylaruam)
Appearance: Al-kalim’s primary form is of an elderly
human patriarch wearing poor clerical robes, with a firm
outlook, wise and intelligent eyes, and a long white
beard. His second manifestation form is that of a
youthful dashing desert warrior with a hawk’s nose and a
well trimmed black beard, riding on a perfect Alasiyan
stallion wielding his scimitar.
History: Born in 800 AC to one of the Alasiyan desert
tribes, during the Thyatian and Alphatian occupation of
IX century, Suleiman Al-Kalim spent his youth trying to
reconcile the way of the desert warrior with the old
teachings of the dervishes who brought him up. In his
adulthood he became a wise warrior-priest, and later was
hailed as the leader of Alasiyan insurrection against the
foreign conquerors. Using bright guerrilla tactics and his
innate leadership skills, Al-Kalim was able to unite the
tribes one after the other, and with their help, he started a
liberation war against the Alphatians and the Thyatians
that lasted for more than a decade. In the end, the
Alasiyans were able to throw the invaders out of their
lands, establishing the United Emirates of Ylaruam in
831 AC as a confederate nation where all the tribal chiefs
are led by a Sultan, a position first held by Al-Kalim. In
835 AC Al-Kalim began a religious pilgrimage with his
faithful companion Farid that took him outside Ylaruam
and up to the underwater mountain where he met the
Old Man of the Sea, who became his patron and sponsor
on the path of the Dynast. When he returned to
Ylaruam, Al-Kalim began teaching his followers a new
faith, the Eternal Truth, which Farid collected in the holy
book named Nahmeh, a collection of wise parables and
just laws. The Eternal Truth was based on two main
pillars: the Dream of Justice and Honour to unify the
tribes and make them stronger in order to withstand the
eventual disappearance of Al-Kalim, and the Dream of
the Desert Garden, the project to make the desert a more
fertile land that could rely upon itself and diminish the
foreigners’ influence in Ylaruam. Al-Kalim retired from
public life in 860 AC, and later made up false news about
his death to proceed on the path of the Dynast. He
finally reached immortality in AC 1001, after securing his
dynasty on the throne of Ylaruam.
