The World Of Valor

Murad

Space and time are the fabric in which this world exists. They are also a source of supreme power. However, none of the known systems of magic have spells capable of harnessing the power of space-time. Only an Andura Stone can contain the intangible power of space-time, and allow people to harness it.

With the aim of acquiring this power, Murad's ancestors journeyed deep into the desert to look for fragments of Andura. However, Murad's ancestors were able to outsmart Azzen'Ka and acquire the fragments. They used the fragments to forge an extremely powerful weapon that could manipulate space and time and built a new empire in the desert with its power.

When Murad came of age, he inherited the weapon from his father and officially became the heir apparent. He led the imperial army on many expeditions, eliminating dangerous creatures and expanding the empire. This eventually threatened the authority of Azzen'Ka who was furious after discovering the truth behind Murad's weapon. But Murad paid Azzen'Ka no mind. AS long as he had the weapon, Azzen'Ka couldn't hurt him.

Azzen'Ka was forced to parley with Murad and capitulate to the demands of the imperial prince. Murad gladly accepted his enemy's willingness to surrender and missed the golden opportunity to rid the empire of a potential threat once and for all. No power lasts forever, and Azzen'Ka understood this only too well. From the shadows, he manufactured multiple crises that forced Murad to use his weapon to defend the fledgling empire.

Overuse of the power accelerated the Andura Stone's decay and, unable to withstand the burden, the weapon developed numerous cracks through which the power of space-time leaked. This efflux greatly weakened Murad's ability to fight, and Azzen'Ka seized the opportunity to conjure a mighty sandstorm that completely engulfed the once prosperous empire. The weapon only had enough power to protect Murad himself, so after a plea by his father, he escaped the catastrophe.

But he did not give up. He covered his handsome face and became a solitary desert ranger, seeking a way to repair his weapon while accumulating the strength to confront Azzen'Ka. Murad firmly believes that as long as he has his weapon, he will one day be able to kill Azzen'Ka and restore the honor and glory of his empire.
