The Aplana Warlord
Head Master Kamiresha Teldan (a.k.a. Aplana Warlord)
“True worth is not found in money, spoils, extravagance, or title. True worth is found in your actions, the life you lead; putting it on the line for the glory of saving not only shows worth but shows your soul. To be one of us you must put everything on the line for the sake of accomplishing what you set out to do. Do not fear death for it does not look for you, Fear leaving behind a legacy of cowardice; and going to the Afterlife with a self serving soul.”
~ Kamiresha, Head Master Of The Kin Of Valhar,

Personal history
No one born in Darco’Garaith would claim being a Legacy bearer makes for an easy existence. Much like her kin, Kamiresha struggled, trained and fought for the survival and honor of her tribe. Beyond these ordinary conflicts that all Garaith face, Kamiresha needed to worry about the jealous gaze of her tribes warlord.
Though no warlord worth their title would stoop so low as to execute a helpless child, many would gladly ensure that a young child never gets the proper tools they require to pose a genuine threat to the warlord’s status. It’s this fact that drove Kamiresha’s parents to sent her from the homeland and gain training as well as an education in the western kingdoms.
Since her parents were successful merchants among their tribe, Kamiresha enjoyed good living conditions under a loyal guardian west of the sands. She trained hard, studied well and eventually served a mercenary guild of the trade territories. Rapidly, her reputation made her a highly sought after sellsword and it seemed she would be destined to reach great glory in the process.
This all changed when a fellow guild member, also himself a Garaith, was fatally poisoned in battle. For six months Tekek had been fighting by Kamiresha’s side. Throughout that time he insisted on calling her by a nickname, “Apalana”.
Despite her best efforts, she could never pressure Tekek into explaining the name, but on the day he was wounded with a poisoned blade, he explained to Kamiresha that unlike her, he would die with honor.
Her nickname was an old term the Garaith used for deserters; people who fled the homeland in cowardice. She never had time to explain the error of his judgment, for Tekek died shortly after divulging this truth.
Kamiresha was enraged in a way she hadn’t known possible. All her valorous deeds were ignored in the eyes of her own people, all because her parents had sent her away before she was old enough to choose for herself. Being a “deserter” was unacceptable in Kamiresha’s mind. She had never willingly run from a hardship and she would never accept such a title.
Returning to Darco’Garaith put Kamiresha to the test. Her tribe warlord had changed many times but it mattered little. She would face them down in trial by combat and seize control of the tribe herself.
Dealing with the tribe and its aspiring warlords, as well as the struggles of maintaining the tribe’s territory, placed Kamiresha in a daily cycle of conflict.
At first, she was pleased with the respect and vindication that came with rising to the lofty position of warlord. The longer she remained in the position however, the more meaningless the internal conflicts of her kin seemed. Kamiresha wanted glory, true glory. The kind that can only come from a life and death of meaning.
In the west, as a sellsword, she had witnessed horrors far worse than any warlord challenger. Kreesh existed out there in Laruna and she wanted to put her courage, leadership and combat skills to real use. After a brief and successful tenure that saw her defend her status as warlord several times, and grow the wealth and territory of her tribe, Kamiresha left Darco’Garaith for the second time.
She knew they would call her “Aplana”, just as she knew it would never bother her again. In the west she assembled a guild of Legacy earers like herself, and together they would find glory in putting down Kreesh. True glory was given by the self, no one else. Kamiresha lives a life worth living, even if her own people don’t see it.
