Aleshdin

A popular figure in the eyes of many Ahznoms, Aleshdin (CG fighter 6/rogue 4), the son of the equally popular Alzhan, commands Zha-nehzmish’s military. He oversees nearly 700 soldiers and is responsible for defending not just the Mezh- Vowmi Isle, but the mainland as well. The demands of his station carry him to forts bordering the Vohven Jungle and the Awhom Forests. Nevertheless, he still personally oversees his soldiers' continued training on highland dancers and, with his devotion to honing his soldiers, has formed a light cavalry to be respected.

Aleshdin is a favorite among the zurenas, entertaining them with his good humor and natural athleticism. His time with his father’s peers was not ill spent, for he learned much and developed his natural instincts for trading and negotiation. Yet, numbers (the value of a length of wood or other trivial details) hold little appeal to the young hero. Fortunately, Alzhan recognized the free spirit in his son and sent him to a military academy in the city. There, Aleshdin’s destiny revealed itself. He spent many hours with the horses, and with his agility and natural skill at arms soon rose to the top of his class. When he graduated, he joined the Ahznomahnii cavalry and fought skirmishes against the wild elves of the Vohven Jungle. In those early conflicts, Aleshdin won the respect of his peers and quickly advanced in rank, until eight years ago when the zurenas appointed him commander. Aleshdin never forgot his early training and, while in the Vohven Jungle, he established a small trade consortium specializing in rare herbs and spices to supplement his meager military pay. When he ended his tour of duty, he had a thriving business and a small fortune. Now, years later, he has almost obtained the required 75,000 gold Anvims, and many believe he will soon take a seat in Parliament as a zurena. The commander of Ahznomahn’s military is in his early thirties with dark black skin and light brown hair. He has brown eyes and an easy smile. He disdains armor, preferring to wear loosely cut clothes with red leggings, a cream tunic and short brown jacket with sandals. From his belt hangs a slender rapier of exceptional quality. With his tall, athletic build, comfortable gait and dashing features, he is in high demand by many daughters. So far, however, Aleshdin seems content to be a bachelor. He has a small estate inside Zha-nehzmish, with interests and land on Svimohzia proper.
