A ruler of the Qaliathari Empire, also known as Shidreth the Enricher. He was killed by the vizier Jathred Shazarethen who assumed rule of the empire, and was eventually avenged by his eldest son Fassethi who ended the resulting civil war and executed his father's assassins.
[edit] Lore Extracts
And the sons of Shidreth sought out the followers of Jathred. The struggle boiled over with the slaughter of the Thousand Martyrs. The sand shifted and changed but it could never remove the stain of blood spilt. The Traitor watched and gathered his own force, the vulture to the warring jackals. However, this vulture became an eagle and joined the fray.
The Thousand raised their voices for reason. The deed done by the Vizier should be punished but not paid for by more violence. Their pleas were welcomed upon the blade of the followers of Jathred. They were struck down without mercy and their blood became one with the sand, staining the grains red forever.
The ambition of Khelium was so great that he betrayed both his ruler and his mentor. He gathered about him the sages any mystics who believed the crown and scepter belonged to the enlightened and was earned by deed and not by lineage. One betrayal eases the birth of another and Khelium turned on his jackal brother, the Vizier, and became the Traitor. At first, he was content to soar above the fray waiting to pick on the carcasses of the fallen. That soon would change. Many things would change.
Shidreth the Enricher awoke to his death as the long knives fell upon him. Even his concubine was not spared as she met her own grisly end. His body was thrown from the walls for the carrion dogs to eat. His sons, although furious for the transgression but fearing for their families, left the jewel City the whims of the Vizier. Many of those who stayed in the city aligned themselves with the Sons of Shidreth and secretly worked for their return. The Thousand refused to work in stealth and gathered their numbers and marched about the city.
