GANAK SATHIR: THE WARRIOR KING
If Atrebe represents the extreme of Iksar magical power, his heir, the fearsome Ganak Sathir, is an awesome display of Iksar martial might. Ganak was born with none of the magical ability that had led his father to greatness. Rebirthed into the Legion, Ganak learned from an early age to hone his body as he would a blade. It would be sharp, hard, perfect, and a deadly weapon against the foes of Sebilis.
At the time of his father's death, Ganak was more than ready to take command of the devastating armies. Atrebe had led a victorious campaign against the dragons using the Sarnak and Sokokar, but it was Ganak that would win the war. Great legions of expendable Sarnak conscripts were produced, and Ganak ordered that all Iksar soldiers be trained in flying, mounted Sokokar combat.
Sebilis and the Ring of Scale clashed fiercely for many years. Their battles scorched and cursed the land itself in many places, obliterating cities and landscapes across the continent. The very fabrics of the magical and spiritual planes were ravaged.
The war closed with the cataclysmic battle of the Field of Bone. Jaled'Dar, the greatest lord of the Ring, led his remaining forces to meet the assembled Iksar armies on what was once a great plain north of Cabilis. The ensuing battle lasted for many days, and in the middle of the chaos were Ganak and Jaled'Dar. The two traded blows in the sky over the field, Ganak mounted on his monstrous Imperial Sokokar. The power and fury of their combat ripped across the land, but neither great lord would give an inch. Jaled'Dar's magics tore at Ganak, who countered with the might of enchanted weapons unequalled in any age.
The Dragon war met its end at the very moment that Ganak and Jaled'Dar met their own. In an act of desperation, Jaled'Dar summoned the total of his remaining mana into a horrific spell. Ganak struck with his remaining strength at the moment the spell was unleashed. Their clash filled the plain and the sky with a blinding, incinerating explosion.
When the ashes and smoke cleared, a vast portion of once fertile land had been seared completely and littered with the bones of the dead. The majority of the Imperial and Dragon forces were consumed in the explosion. The Ring of Scale was crippled beyond recovery, but its final act of hatred would be to ensure the demise of Sebilis and the Sathir Dynasty.
Note: To this day, Ganak haunts the mausoleum created for his entombment. The Great Emperor has vowed to aid his people, even in death, in their revenge upon Trakanon and the Ring of Scale.
