Sun-Worship, and The Founding of the Kiteshi Empire

Founding

Kitesh, a young Nioban man and veteran warrior, receives visions from Alsham, the God of the sun. Kitesh journeys to the peak of Mt. Duniaji and speaks with Alsham, who grants a golden spear of pure sunlight, as well as profound knowledge and wisdom.   Kitesh begins to spread the message given to him and gains a following of skilled and devout fighters who spread his faith throughout Nioba.   Kitesh becomes a general of high regard in Nioba and rises to power. He spearheads the expansion of Nioban power into the rest of north-eastern Maitreya in response to increased aggression by Hephsut.   Kitesh founds the Kiteshi Empire with the belief that Hephsut's influence can be burned away by the presence of the sun throughout the continent.   Kitesh is crowned the first Prophet-King of a new Kiteshi Empire.
