Sheng Seleris

AgartuSay[]

Originally born AgartuSay in the Pentan Steppes in 1220 ST and seems to have become a chief
In 1247 ST, a Great Challenge had been called to combat a famine blighting Pent. Agartu was a contestant.
At the height of the challenge, the Red Moon rose and Agartu swore an oath to stand upon it.
In 1250 ST, he lead a band past the Iron Forts and challenged the Exarch of Boshan to a contest.
The Exarch defeated Agartu with ease and Agartu willingly became a slave.
He performed so well that the Kralori were astonished.
After a century of meditation in 1352 ST, Agartu was offered the final choice - Liberation or the World. He chose the world.

Agartu was now known as Sheng Seleris and worshipped Jolaty
Its unknown whether he took the new name when he joined the Saka Morn or when he apostatized. Similarly its unknown when he started worshipping.
Since Jolaty is a Pentan word, represented in the Kralori script as Zho Lath Ey, he may have either supplied a name for it in his own language.
He spent a few years in Boshan as a healer and a miracle worker.
In 1355 ST, he returned to Pent where a new Great Challenge was in its final stages. He won the contest by preaching Jolaty to the horde.
He conquered the Iron Forts in 1356 ST. From there he raided Kralorela for several years.
In 1363 ST, he turned from a policy of raiding to outright invasion, mustering the Great Horde to ravage Puchai.
Out of the province, only the city of Laonan Tao held out due to the efforts of Kui Hui.
He made the Puchai River run red with blood.
Sheng tried to attack the Bridges.
At this time, he may have toppled over several Dragon Roads
He then moved into Jaubon and threatened to make the Yanaralow River a second red river.
He then pitted nearly all his winnings in a Right To Rule Contest against Godunya.
Godunya won with the aid of the Army of the Living Dragon, the Barges and the Master Cloud Dragon
Sheng was forced to retreat but pillaged the territories he had captured anyway. The injustice of this act was stored in Godunya's Flower.

He was called Kazkurtum when he invaded to Peloria.
Seeking for a weapon to destroy Godunya, Sheng visited the Wastelands, Chern Durel and even Teshnos before deciding to invade the Lunar Empire in 1375 ST.
Although victorious, he was frustrated by continued resistance from TakenEgi
In 1389 ST, he wrestled with TakenEgi at the siege of Glamour but was driven off.
He sent a curse against TakenEgi in 1390 ST but was thwarted by the First Return
In 1405 ST, He tried to destroy Yara Aranis at her temple at Good Shore but failed, losing a quarter of his followers the next year.
He killed TakenEgi again in a duel in 1415 ST.
In 1416 ST, he recognized (after some resistance) Kerestus and made the Order of Kerestus the only legitimate way to Illumination within his Empire.
He is not in Peloria when TakenEgi returned in 1428 ST. His whereabouts are not known for the next fourteen years.
In 1442 ST, he defeated Godunya in the Battle of All Widows After a Week. Afterwards he killed everybody that had resisted him or even backslide while he was gone.
In 1443 ST, he caused Kostaddi to abandon all lunar ways in the Treason of Kostaddi
He became a star in 1444 ST and began hunting TakenEgi.
In 1446 ST, He slew the Royal House of the Pelorian Sable and invaded the Red Moon
There he multilated the Children of Change
There he decimated the Council of Elders and Wise Ones
In 1456 ST, he sacked Jords Eye
He was cast down to earth and defeated at the Battle of Kitor in 1460 ST
