Ahriman Khein

The Dreadful
NPC, Demi-God

Ahriman is a powerful man, even among the ranks of the demi-gods. His appearance is imposing, standing at over seven feet tall with broad shoulders. He is known for his tactical brilliance on the battlefield, often leading his troops to victory against overwhelming odds. He is a master of strategy and tactics, able to anticipate his enemy's moves and strike at their weaknesses. He inspires fierce loyalty among his troops, who would follow him into the depths of the underworld if he asked them to.

Despite his fearsome reputation, Ahriman is not without his flaws. He is fiercely competitive and has been known to clash with other Princes of Horus, even coming to blows on occasion. His thirst for conquest and victory can sometimes blind him to the bigger picture, leading him to make rash decisions that put his troops in danger. Some whisper that Ahriman's true loyalties lie not with Horus, but with his own desire for power and conquest. These rumors are dismissed by many, who argue that Ahriman has always been a loyal Prince of Horus and would never betray his patron God King.

Regardless of his true motivations, Ahriman is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. His name strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies, and his victories are celebrated across the land. For those who stand against Horus and his champions, Ahriman is a symbol of dread and impending doom. Ahriman is known for his ruthless and fearsome nature on the battlefield, and has been involved in many legendary battles throughout history.

One notable battle was the Siege of Eryndil, where Ahriman led a massive army against the fortified city of the Silver Dominion. Despite the Dominion's defenses, Ahriman's forces were able to breach the city's walls and invade the streets. Ahriman himself was at the forefront of the assault, cutting down the Dominion's defenders with his massive scimitar and inspiring his soldiers to fight harder with each passing moment. Eventually, the Dominion's forces were overwhelmed and Waterdeep fell to the forces of Horus. However they were not able to maintain a proper hold of the city and eventually the city fell back into Dominion hands after Ahriman's army moved on. It is not seen as a loss in his eyes as looks forward to conquering the city once more. 

Another story tells of a legendary battle in the Dreadwoods, where Ahriman single-handedly took on an army of rebel goblins and orcs. The creatures had been terrorizing the nearby towns and villages, and Ahriman decided to take matters into his own hands. He charged into the fray, his sword cutting through the horde with ease. Despite being vastly outnumbered, Ahriman's ferocity and skill proved too much for the goblins and orcs, and they were eventually routed and one by one they were captured by forces of the Dynasty.

In a more recent battle, Ahriman was sent to lead a campaign against a rival warlord who had been encroaching on Horus's territory. Ahriman's forces clashed with the enemy army on the fields of the Graveland Expanse, and the battle was fierce and bloody. Ahriman personally challenged the enemy warlord to a duel, and the two engaged in a brutal fight to the death. Despite the warlord's impressive skills, Ahriman emerged victorious, and the enemy army soon surrendered. It turned out the army was escaping Vikholm from something evil.

These are just a few of the many battles that Ahriman has been involved in over the years, and his reputation as a fearsome warrior has only grown with each victory.
