Sheng Seleris

Lord of the Seleran Empire.

Originally born AgartuSay in the Pentan Steppes in 1220 ST and seems to have become a chief [Henird. In 1247 ST, he was a Contestant in the Great Challenge which had been called to combat an apparent famine blighting Pent at the time. At the height of the challenge, the Red Moon rose and Agartu swore an oath to stand upon it.

Three years later, his band of companions rode past the Iron Forts and challenged the Exarch of Boshan to a contest. The Exarch defeated Agartu with ease and Argaru willingly became a slave. He found the life of slavery demeaning so he joined the Saka Morn sect to become liberated. He performed so well that the Kralori were astonished that a foreigner was capable of such insight. After a century of meditation, Argartu was offered the final choice - Liberation or the World. Agartu chose the world.

After this point, Argartu was now known as Sheng Seleris but it's unknown whether it was a name he took when he joined the Saka Morn or one he chose when he apostatized. He also appears to have worshipped Jolaty at this point but the point at which he started worship is similarly unknown.

After spending a few years in Boshan as a healer and a miracle worker, Sheng returned to Pent where a new Great Challenge was in its final stages. He wins the contest with a revelation about Jolaty and told the assembled horde that he could conquer the whole world so long as they had his support.

At first, Sheng's horde conquered the Iron Forts which had never been done before. From there he raided Kralorela for several years before he mustered the Great Horde to ravage Puchai. The entire province was slaughtered except for the city of Laonan Tao which was defended by Kui Hui. Sheng tried to attack the Bridges but failed and so moved into Jaubon.
