I am flattered that you have used my map, and my lore in your OOC. I will ensure I flesh it out more tomorrow (it's 1:30 am over here), and PM you it so that it brings us forwards to modern times. For all concerned however, basically know that Elblistan became great, but then floundered and slowly dwindled. At least, that's what I had planned. 

[b]Character Name: [/b] Mundhir Sadek

[b]Species: [/b] Human

[b]Gender: [/b] Male

[b]Noteworthy Abilities / Limitations: [/b] [list]
- Prince of Eblistan: Mundhir is a Prince of Eblistan, and seventh in line to the throne. With such royalty assigned to his name, he commands a great deal of respect amongst the peoples of Eblistan. Such respect can arouse the most heroic of feats in the lowliest of peasants.

-	Expert Swordsman: Mundhir, like many of his countrymen, is more than adept in the use of the sabre. Being from the Royal House, his training has been lavished somewhat when compared to the average man. He is quick on his feet, and deadly in single combat. 

-	Human: Though courageous and heroic in nature, Mundhir is limited by the attributes of his species. Fallible and flawed, he can but try to make his way in a world that is against him at every turn. Morals are cheap, and when the greater good is in question, he will not shy away from sacrificing the few for the prosperity of the many. He will also likely do things that enable the achievement of his goal easier, even at the loss of others. [/list]

[b]Background: [/b] Mundhir is a Prince of Eblistan, and seventh in line to the throne. Growing up in prettied gardens of the royal residences, he was taught the finer arts of life, whether it was poetry, art, language, history or lovemaking. 

However, this by no means makes Mundhir a weak man. Though only thirty years old, he has experienced the bloody nightmare of war several times. Usually serving at the head of his father’s World Breakers, he is an elite warrior of few equals, and is considered to be of a deadly tactical disposition. Given the chance to command an army, he would no doubt lead Elblistan to reclaim its former glory – if only his status In the bloodline would permit him 

Growing increasingly impatient of serving a father who lacked vision, and brothers that lacked conviction, Mundhir started to look beyond the limitations of his station to serve his peoples.

Starting small, he gathered a few of his loyal soldiers to his cause, and waged an unsanctioned yet effective campaign against the repeated aggression of Eblistan’s neighbours. Outnumbered, he often relied on the use of guerrilla tactics to beat down his enemies; horse riding and archery became the mainstay of his military doctrine, in line with the Prophet Ebli Khan of old’s similar reasoning, and so was able to drive the enemy back from the ruins of Baalor. 

The victory gave him fame, more soldiers and wealth; it also gained him envy. Though he would do well for Eblistan, his brothers, shocked by his resourcefulness and his popularity with the people, saw it fit to have him murdered. 

One night, busy planning the logistics of his military endeavours as he often did, Mundhir was set upon by masked assassins. His sabre was nearby, and he was able to defend himself – but sustained a lethal dose of Ice Venom from the tainted blade of his attackers. He succumbed quickly, and the world darkened around him. The last thing he could remember, was the irritated curses of his killers.

EDIT: Thought I'd say, the 'lethal dose' wasn't lethal, obviously, or this would be an obituary. I was just making the point that he is supposed to be dead - and therefore can appear wherever he needs to be. Whether it's a dungeon or a ditch.
