Editing Gharu'ndim Lore (section)

=== Founding of the Nation ===
Leading up to the founding of Gharu'n, the text [[The Hundred Trackless Paths (Lore Text)|The Hundred Trackless Paths]] by [[Khaymahlai]] described the Gharu'ndim people as having lived and currently living in the [[Naqut Desert]].<ref name=TheHundredTracklessPaths>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Musansayn's Library]]: [[The Hundred Trackless Paths]] text</ref> It is in this text that we first hear of [[Rakhil al-Khur]]. In volume 7 of The Hundred Trackless Paths, Rakhil was said to be traveling north by boat along a river, when he stopped at a village on the southern edge of the Naqut. After defeating the demon [[Hayyaz]], who had claimed ownership of the village, Rakhil asked the villagers to follow him north to Roulea.<ref name=TheHundredTracklessPaths />

Prior to 924 RC, the nomadic Gharu'ndim people, led by Malik Rakhil al-Khur and the warrior-poet [[Yasif ibn Salayyar]], headed north, across the Naqut, on a campaign to conquer Roulean lands.<ref name=ZogblasterGharundimIntro /><ref name=WingsOfRakhil>2005/07 [[Throne of Destiny]] - [[Rare Items]]: [[Wings of Rakhil]] description</ref><ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5 /> During this campaign, one of the five [[Crimson Stars]], [[Al-Ghul]], was renamed [[Al-Khur]] in honor of Rakhil al-Khur, after the great victory won at the salt mines to the east of [[Tirethas]].<ref name=SilifiOfCrimsonStars>2000/04 [[Thorns of the Hopeslayer]] - [[Silifi of Crimson Stars Quest]]: [[The Silifi of the Crimson Stars]] text</ref>
<br /><br />In 924, the Gharu'ndim armies seiged the Roulean capital of Tirethas, the City of Lore.<ref name=ZogblasterGharundimIntro /><ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5 /> As his armies prepared to destroy the city, Rakhil threatened to burn the books inside her walls. Yasif, who could not bear the thought of destroying the ancient city's works and lore, struck down his Malik.<ref name=ZogblasterGharundimIntro /><ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5 /> Rather than executing him, the armies agreed to honor Yasif and the conquest of Roulea ended.<ref name=HistoryOfAubereanVol5 /> In all, half of Roulea's lands were lost to the new nation of Gharu'n. Rakhil al-Khur's son, [[Amul ibn Rakhil]] became the new Malik and Yasif became his adviser.<ref name=ZogblasterGharundimIntro />
