Editing Gharu'ndim Lore (section)

=== Recent Past ===
Many years after the end of the Century of Storms, when Gharu'n was a peaceful land and the smiths forged many more plowshares than swords, [[Taraj al-Saum]] was the reigning Malik.<ref name=LashandasHand>1999/11 [[Release]] - [[Zaikhal Library]]: [[Lashanda's Hand]] text</ref>

It was during this time that the minor noble Mu'allim [[Fasair ibn Jambuz]] sent out a call across the land for warriors. More than 250 warriors answered the call, among them [[Ibriya bint Raglan]]. In this time the sight of women wearing armor and bearing swords was still strange, and Ibriya was was the only woman among all the warriors.<ref name=LashandasHand />

Fasair announced the reason the warriors had been gathered: [[Ulyush al-Nadur]], one of the most renowned fighters in the kingdom, had died barely a month ago. Ulyush was to marry Fasair's daughter, Lashanda. The wedding was to be in three days, and the Mu'allim was determined to continue with the ceremony. Over the next three days, the warriors competed in a tournament to win Lashanda's hand.<ref name=LashandasHand />

In the end, Ibriya defeated all the other contestants and won the tourney. But she did not desire to wed the Mu'allim's daughter - instead, she gave her prize to Lashanda, giving her the right to choose her husband.<ref name=LashandasHand />
