&#039;&#039;This page is under heavy renovation due to recent events in &#039;&#039;Sins of the Past&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;) was a Mizrani Phoenic occultist and High Priest of the [[Casiric Church]] for twelve years, from 482 until his death in 494.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan was one of the most feared men in the history of Marillia, as well as one of its least understood; his very name invoked fear in the hearts of archdevils, balors, and celestials. He was the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], a multiplanar conflict centered around the [[Marnova prophecy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan had at least seven children: [[Seena]], [[Jezra Dassari|Jezra Dassari (Nightshade)]], [[Nico]], [[Alicia]], [[Maz Morin]] (adoptive), Mahsi, and Sheila.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
== Death ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan sought divinity by taking advantage of the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He did not seek to destroy Lozanre for himself, as he knew the ritual would not elevate Lozanre&#039;s destroyer to godhood but rather summon Casir to Marillia. Sorhan hoped to coax [[Raysh]]&lt;br /&gt;
--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes about Sorhan ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Raysh]] is an evil man. My father is evil itself.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Nico, the son of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My father was not what you would expect. Many Casirists are impatient, impulsive, aimless, but my father is patient, deliberate, calculating, calm. He is a man of humor, wit, charm, and sensuality. None love him more than women.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan took everything from me. And when I thought there was nothing left to take from me, he took even more.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All men know and fear Sorhan.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Captain Veck, a Seuvian Azaphielite&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan is to Raysh as the tiger is to the wild dog.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Sorhan in the guise of Greymark, about himself&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
He was variously called an avatar, son, or prophet of [[Casir]], an &lt;br /&gt;
he was shrouded in mystery&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (SOR-han, rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;; Phoenic: شرهان &#039;&#039;Sharhān&#039;&#039;) is a Phoenic occultist and the second of the High Priests of the [[Casiric Church]] by seniority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of [[Marillia]]; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]], son, or [[avatar]] of [[Casir]], an avatar of [[Ahuraiya]], a face of [[Nyarlathotep]], and a time-traveling [[Xoyahque]] who survived the [[Naque]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], the multiplanar conflict over the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He is the most powerful dream magician in [[Marillia]], possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guises ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Sorhan&#039;s many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and arcanist [[Greymark|Lord Greymark]], the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest [[Wallen]], the arcanist [[Faulkwin]], the Casirist swordsman Vickers, and the angel [[Glory|Glory/Nahros]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lord Greymark ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Greymark, Sorhan presented himself as a &amp;quot;new money&amp;quot; aristocrat and philanderer. Though peasant-born, he attained wealth mysteriously and suddenly years ago and and purchased his way into the Phoenic nobility, taking lordship over the small province of Kashana. He is a powerful [[arcanist]] who studied under the famed wizard [[Scarcella|Scarcella the Madman]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sulo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sulo, Sorhan presented himself as a renegade and outlaw, with connections to powerful pirate lords, most notably Jamit Angari and Colette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Faulkwin and Wallen ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Faulkwin, Sorhan presented himself as a powerful arcanist in the court of the king of Cand. He journeyed to the town of Thome, where he persuaded the Pale Brigade to slay one of his rebellious captains, Kripnak the God-Dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faulkwin, in turn, temporarily took on the guise of &amp;quot;Wallen,&amp;quot; an Ayan priest, who slaughtered a large Ayan temple in conjunction with [[Mortzopholus]]. Wallen was driven out by soldiers of Azaphiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vickers ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Vickers, Sorhan served &amp;quot;himself&amp;quot;: he appointed one of his servants (who resembles him superficially) to act as &amp;quot;Sorhan,&amp;quot; while he served as this decoy&#039;s right-hand man. Vickers slaughtered numerous Jihuthi villages, including Tezuma&#039;s, and temporarily came into possession of the sword Reshakk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Others ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Farun&lt;br /&gt;
* Glory/Nahros&lt;br /&gt;
* Rysan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extent of Sorhan&#039;s powers is unclear. At the very least, he is a master swordsman, one of the most powerful necromancers in Marillian history, and likely the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] presently in Marillia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is an anomaly among those aligned with Chaotic Evil; he is not impulsive, crass, temperamental, impatient, testy, short-tempered, vindictive, vitriolic, or spiteful. Rather, he is composed, patient, deliberate, calculating, mild-tempered, accommodating, nigh-impossible to anger, charming, humorous, charismatic, and affable. However, he is also sadistic, pitiless, duplicitous, a master manipulator, capable of astonishing cruelty, and armed with cunning that bests even archdevils and demon princes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the [[Sanctuary]], the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter&#039;s leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; [[Torm]], [[Raha]], and all of [[Celestia]]; [[Azenhar]] and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Kazali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is hated by his children [[Nico]] and [[Seena]]. He has groomed two of his other children, [[Maz Morin]] and [[Jezra Dassari]], into supporting him. He also fathered [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes terror as far as the Abyss, the City of Brass, and the Nine Hells themselves. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]] of [[Casir]], a son of Casir, and an [[avatar]] of Casir. [[Jassar|King Jassar]] believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by [[Mortzopholus]]. [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salysa Aidani]] of the [[Hadina]] famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is a highly enigmatic figure, not because of a lack of information about him, but rather because of an overabundance of it. There are ceaseless mutually contradictory reports about his activities all over [[Rhys]]. (For example, in August 494, it was reported that Sorhan was killed in Marnova, but only days later, he was spotted in Lozanre, where he assassinated Crown Princess Avaria.) Because of this seemingly senseless jumble of reports and sightings, some—including [[Jassar|King Jassar]] himself—have argued Sorhan does not even exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it&#039;s worth noting his alleged activities, so here they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 482, during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], reports begin spreading that one of the architects of the Black Terror, the Casiric High Priest Kithar, was stabbed nineteen times by an up-and-coming Casiric sorcerer named Sorhan and his followers. According to [[Nico]], this is the same year when his father (Sorhan) murdered his mother. Both King Jassar and [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salsya Aidani]] declare that Kithar had indeed been killed and that the Black Terror is over. At the same time, the Uma announces that Sorhan has been elevated to high priest and that he is the most dangerous man alive. Some critics accuse her of fearmongering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Note that the Black Terror was a 26-year-long period in which the entire country was terrorized by an unprecedented alliance between all three of Casir&#039;s high priests. In 481, one of those high priests was executed, and the following year, Sorhan murdered another one of those high priests. So when Salysa Aidani said &amp;quot;actually guys, this isn&#039;t so good: this Sorhan guy is 10x worse than any Casirist I&#039;ve ever seen in my 8-bajillion-year-long life,&amp;quot; people didn&#039;t want to hear it. They just wanted to celebrate the end of the Black Terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 490, during an armistice in the Eighth Occaria, a well-loved Hestati captain is assassinated by Casirists in broad daylight in the streets of Alicantian-occupied Gazan. The [[Hestati]] immediately accuse Sorhan of leading the assassination. Peace talks between the belligerents break down, and the [[Eighth Occaria]] resumes shortly after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 494 has been a big one for Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 August 494, the Lucian population of Marnova, newly annexed by Alicante, is slaughtered. [[Raysh|Lord Raysh]] declares it was done by Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 August 494, after weeks of unrest, Sorhan leads a slave revolt in Troyosha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 August 494, the city government of Troyosha is toppled. Sorhan initiates a massive purge of merchants, slave masters, and nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 August 494, during the harvest banquet in Lozanre, Casirists led by a figure later identified as Sorhan commandeer a naval airship and steer it towards the prince&#039;s palace. They open fire on a crowd of Phoenic nobles and Alicantian diplomats. The crown later announces that Crown Princess Avaria was among those murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure dressed in the garb of a ra of Ogissia is seen attending a ball in the City of Brass hosted by the jinn lord Marjaid. He claimed to be Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over in Seuvia, according to the claims of many, Sorhan has chained the [[Sevani|gods of the Seuvians]], thereby nullifying the powers of Seuvian clerics. Soon after, an exceedingly powerful arcanist by the name of Faulkwin arrives in the Seuvian town of Thome to aid the Pale Brigade in taking down Kripnak, a servant of Sorhan and the self-proclaimed prophet of [[Sorn]]. Lazarus Steele recognizes him as Wallen, a Zehirite who slaughtered an entire Ayan temple and was declared by his followers to be Sorhan. It is unclear why on earth Sorhan would help the Pale Brigade kill his own officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, it has been reported numerous times that he has been murdered or executed.&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Sorhan&#039;s many guises (and the uncertainty &#039;&#039;that he even exists&#039;&#039;), it is extremely difficult to keep track of his activities. It is never clear if a report about his activities is &amp;quot;really him,&amp;quot; an imitator, or a servant of his masquerading as him. Nevertheless, here are some of the reports of his activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is exceedingly difficult to say what powers Sorhan has and doesn&#039;t have, since we don&#039;t know for sure who he is or if he even exists. It could be the case that every person claiming to be &amp;quot;Sorhan&amp;quot; is a completely different person. However, assuming there is indeed a person named Sorhan, here are some of his reported powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the bink Koley, Sorhan is the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] in Marillia. Certainly, someone has been manipulating the dreams of the [[Pale Brigade]] masterfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be a master swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be an extraordinarily powerful necromancer. He has a vast population of undead performing manual labor in and around Troyosha. He is also capable of constructing and utilizing [[dread rings of power]]—a remarkable necromantic feat. He also seems to be able to return from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be able to summon and control demons and evil [[jinn]]. He brought a balor to its knees with no more than a flick of the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is not exactly a popular guy. Pretty much everyone hates him, including virtually all of Phoena&#039;s Vaishans and Mishraists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salysa Aidani]], the Uma of the [[Hadina]], is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Raysh]] hates Sorhan, mainly because he believes Sorhan sabotaged peace talks between Alicante and Phoena during the Eighth Occaria, which indirectly led to the death of Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nico]] claims to be Sorhan&#039;s son. He despises his father for murdering his mother. Assuming he&#039;s telling the truth (and is correct), this would indicate Sorhan was married at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alicia]] hates Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Sanctuary]] opposes Sorhan and would love to see him nailed to a cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[bink]] Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro&#039;s daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], [[Azaphiel]], [[Hyetta]], [[Valaris]], [[Hasinsa]], and [[Calo]]; by the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Azenhar]]; the god [[Torm]]; and the angel [[Colwyn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan&#039;s &amp;quot;new gospel&amp;quot; (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity). At the very least, the fact that [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]] forged a tenuous pact with him suggests she at least thinks Sorhan may be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan&#039;s three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan&#039;s most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;This page is under heavy renovation due to recent events in &#039;&#039;Sins of the Past&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;) was a Mizrani Phoenic occultist and High Priest of the [[Casiric Church]] for twelve years, from 482 until his death in 494.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan was one of the most feared men in the history of Marillia, as well as one of its least understood; his very name invoked fear in the hearts of archdevils, balors, and celestials. He was the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], a multiplanar conflict centered around the [[Marnova prophecy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan had at least seven children: [[Seena]], [[Jezra Dassari|Jezra Dassari (Nightshade)]], [[Nico]], [[Alicia]], [[Maz Morin]] (adoptive), Mahsi, and Sheila.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes about Sorhan ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Raysh]] is an evil man. My father is evil itself.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Nico, the son of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My father was not what you would expect. Many Casirists are impatient, impulsive, aimless, but my father is patient, deliberate, calculating, calm. He is a man of humor, wit, charm, and sensuality. None love him more than women.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan took everything from me. And when I thought there was nothing left to take from me, he took even more.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All men know and fear Sorhan.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Captain Veck, a Seuvian Azaphielite&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan is to Raysh as the tiger is to the wild dog.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Sorhan in the guise of Greymark, about himself&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
He was variously called an avatar, son, or prophet of [[Casir]], an &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (SOR-han, rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;; Phoenic: شرهان &#039;&#039;Sharhān&#039;&#039;) is a Phoenic occultist and the second of the High Priests of the [[Casiric Church]] by seniority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of [[Marillia]]; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]], son, or [[avatar]] of [[Casir]], an avatar of [[Ahuraiya]], a face of [[Nyarlathotep]], and a time-traveling [[Xoyahque]] who survived the [[Naque]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], the multiplanar conflict over the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He is the most powerful dream magician in [[Marillia]], possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guises ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Sorhan&#039;s many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and arcanist [[Greymark|Lord Greymark]], the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest [[Wallen]], the arcanist [[Faulkwin]], the Casirist swordsman Vickers, and the angel [[Glory|Glory/Nahros]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lord Greymark ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Greymark, Sorhan presented himself as a &amp;quot;new money&amp;quot; aristocrat and philanderer. Though peasant-born, he attained wealth mysteriously and suddenly years ago and and purchased his way into the Phoenic nobility, taking lordship over the small province of Kashana. He is a powerful [[arcanist]] who studied under the famed wizard [[Scarcella|Scarcella the Madman]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sulo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sulo, Sorhan presented himself as a renegade and outlaw, with connections to powerful pirate lords, most notably Jamit Angari and Colette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Faulkwin and Wallen ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Faulkwin, Sorhan presented himself as a powerful arcanist in the court of the king of Cand. He journeyed to the town of Thome, where he persuaded the Pale Brigade to slay one of his rebellious captains, Kripnak the God-Dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faulkwin, in turn, temporarily took on the guise of &amp;quot;Wallen,&amp;quot; an Ayan priest, who slaughtered a large Ayan temple in conjunction with [[Mortzopholus]]. Wallen was driven out by soldiers of Azaphiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vickers ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Vickers, Sorhan served &amp;quot;himself&amp;quot;: he appointed one of his servants (who resembles him superficially) to act as &amp;quot;Sorhan,&amp;quot; while he served as this decoy&#039;s right-hand man. Vickers slaughtered numerous Jihuthi villages, including Tezuma&#039;s, and temporarily came into possession of the sword Reshakk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Others ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Farun&lt;br /&gt;
* Glory/Nahros&lt;br /&gt;
* Rysan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extent of Sorhan&#039;s powers is unclear. At the very least, he is a master swordsman, one of the most powerful necromancers in Marillian history, and likely the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] presently in Marillia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is an anomaly among those aligned with Chaotic Evil; he is not impulsive, crass, temperamental, impatient, testy, short-tempered, vindictive, vitriolic, or spiteful. Rather, he is composed, patient, deliberate, calculating, mild-tempered, accommodating, nigh-impossible to anger, charming, humorous, charismatic, and affable. However, he is also sadistic, pitiless, duplicitous, a master manipulator, capable of astonishing cruelty, and armed with cunning that bests even archdevils and demon princes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the [[Sanctuary]], the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter&#039;s leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; [[Torm]], [[Raha]], and all of [[Celestia]]; [[Azenhar]] and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Kazali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is hated by his children [[Nico]] and [[Seena]]. He has groomed two of his other children, [[Maz Morin]] and [[Jezra Dassari]], into supporting him. He also fathered [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes terror as far as the Abyss, the City of Brass, and the Nine Hells themselves. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]] of [[Casir]], a son of Casir, and an [[avatar]] of Casir. [[Jassar|King Jassar]] believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by [[Mortzopholus]]. [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salysa Aidani]] of the [[Hadina]] famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is a highly enigmatic figure, not because of a lack of information about him, but rather because of an overabundance of it. There are ceaseless mutually contradictory reports about his activities all over [[Rhys]]. (For example, in August 494, it was reported that Sorhan was killed in Marnova, but only days later, he was spotted in Lozanre, where he assassinated Crown Princess Avaria.) Because of this seemingly senseless jumble of reports and sightings, some—including [[Jassar|King Jassar]] himself—have argued Sorhan does not even exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it&#039;s worth noting his alleged activities, so here they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 482, during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], reports begin spreading that one of the architects of the Black Terror, the Casiric High Priest Kithar, was stabbed nineteen times by an up-and-coming Casiric sorcerer named Sorhan and his followers. According to [[Nico]], this is the same year when his father (Sorhan) murdered his mother. Both King Jassar and [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salsya Aidani]] declare that Kithar had indeed been killed and that the Black Terror is over. At the same time, the Uma announces that Sorhan has been elevated to high priest and that he is the most dangerous man alive. Some critics accuse her of fearmongering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Note that the Black Terror was a 26-year-long period in which the entire country was terrorized by an unprecedented alliance between all three of Casir&#039;s high priests. In 481, one of those high priests was executed, and the following year, Sorhan murdered another one of those high priests. So when Salysa Aidani said &amp;quot;actually guys, this isn&#039;t so good: this Sorhan guy is 10x worse than any Casirist I&#039;ve ever seen in my 8-bajillion-year-long life,&amp;quot; people didn&#039;t want to hear it. They just wanted to celebrate the end of the Black Terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 490, during an armistice in the Eighth Occaria, a well-loved Hestati captain is assassinated by Casirists in broad daylight in the streets of Alicantian-occupied Gazan. The [[Hestati]] immediately accuse Sorhan of leading the assassination. Peace talks between the belligerents break down, and the [[Eighth Occaria]] resumes shortly after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 494 has been a big one for Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 August 494, the Lucian population of Marnova, newly annexed by Alicante, is slaughtered. [[Raysh|Lord Raysh]] declares it was done by Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 August 494, after weeks of unrest, Sorhan leads a slave revolt in Troyosha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 August 494, the city government of Troyosha is toppled. Sorhan initiates a massive purge of merchants, slave masters, and nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 August 494, during the harvest banquet in Lozanre, Casirists led by a figure later identified as Sorhan commandeer a naval airship and steer it towards the prince&#039;s palace. They open fire on a crowd of Phoenic nobles and Alicantian diplomats. The crown later announces that Crown Princess Avaria was among those murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure dressed in the garb of a ra of Ogissia is seen attending a ball in the City of Brass hosted by the jinn lord Marjaid. He claimed to be Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over in Seuvia, according to the claims of many, Sorhan has chained the [[Sevani|gods of the Seuvians]], thereby nullifying the powers of Seuvian clerics. Soon after, an exceedingly powerful arcanist by the name of Faulkwin arrives in the Seuvian town of Thome to aid the Pale Brigade in taking down Kripnak, a servant of Sorhan and the self-proclaimed prophet of [[Sorn]]. Lazarus Steele recognizes him as Wallen, a Zehirite who slaughtered an entire Ayan temple and was declared by his followers to be Sorhan. It is unclear why on earth Sorhan would help the Pale Brigade kill his own officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, it has been reported numerous times that he has been murdered or executed.&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Sorhan&#039;s many guises (and the uncertainty &#039;&#039;that he even exists&#039;&#039;), it is extremely difficult to keep track of his activities. It is never clear if a report about his activities is &amp;quot;really him,&amp;quot; an imitator, or a servant of his masquerading as him. Nevertheless, here are some of the reports of his activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is exceedingly difficult to say what powers Sorhan has and doesn&#039;t have, since we don&#039;t know for sure who he is or if he even exists. It could be the case that every person claiming to be &amp;quot;Sorhan&amp;quot; is a completely different person. However, assuming there is indeed a person named Sorhan, here are some of his reported powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the bink Koley, Sorhan is the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] in Marillia. Certainly, someone has been manipulating the dreams of the [[Pale Brigade]] masterfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be a master swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be an extraordinarily powerful necromancer. He has a vast population of undead performing manual labor in and around Troyosha. He is also capable of constructing and utilizing [[dread rings of power]]—a remarkable necromantic feat. He also seems to be able to return from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be able to summon and control demons and evil [[jinn]]. He brought a balor to its knees with no more than a flick of the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is not exactly a popular guy. Pretty much everyone hates him, including virtually all of Phoena&#039;s Vaishans and Mishraists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salysa Aidani]], the Uma of the [[Hadina]], is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Raysh]] hates Sorhan, mainly because he believes Sorhan sabotaged peace talks between Alicante and Phoena during the Eighth Occaria, which indirectly led to the death of Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nico]] claims to be Sorhan&#039;s son. He despises his father for murdering his mother. Assuming he&#039;s telling the truth (and is correct), this would indicate Sorhan was married at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alicia]] hates Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Sanctuary]] opposes Sorhan and would love to see him nailed to a cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[bink]] Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro&#039;s daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], [[Azaphiel]], [[Hyetta]], [[Valaris]], [[Hasinsa]], and [[Calo]]; by the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Azenhar]]; the god [[Torm]]; and the angel [[Colwyn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan&#039;s &amp;quot;new gospel&amp;quot; (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity). At the very least, the fact that [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]] forged a tenuous pact with him suggests she at least thinks Sorhan may be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan&#039;s three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan&#039;s most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Maz Morin&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Phoenic Casiric occultist and necromancer, and a High Priest of the Casiric Church. He was the right-hand man of his adoptive father, [[Sorhan]], taking the position [[Yadeen Azaro]] once held. After the death of his father and the end of the [[Red Terror]], he killed the newly anointed high priest [[Cagan]] and replaced him.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Jezra Dassari&#039;&#039;&#039; is a Phoenic noblewoman and heiress to House Dassari. Unbeknownst to the world, her biological father is not Lord Kavar Dassari, but the Casiric High Priest [[Sorhan]]. She is a true believer in her father&#039;s cause. She has an alter ego as &#039;&#039;&#039;Nightshade&#039;&#039;&#039;, her true father&#039;s attack dog and currently a High Priestess of the Casiric Church.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jezra was seemingly killed in [[Lozanre]] at the end of the [[Red Terror]], but in truth she survived via a clone. Believing her father was still alive, she attended a Casiric summit called by Mortzopholus to support Maz Morin&#039;s claim to high priesthood and maintain her father&#039;s image after their disastrous defeat in Lozanre. There, she murdered Mortzopholus and declared herself the Casiric Church&#039;s first high priestess.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Description ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jezra is hotheaded, intelligent, and envious. She has wavy jet-black hair and grey eyes. She is a woman of immense beauty at the peak of physical fitness. She is a master swordswoman, having been trained by Sorhan since childhood.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sorhan&#039;s daughter, Jezra is the sister of [[Seena]], [[Nico]], [[Maz Morin]], and [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jezra had a blasphemous sexual relationship with her own father, Sorhan, having been groomed from the age of 12. She is jealous of her father&#039;s lust for her half-sisters [[Seena]] and [[Alicia]]. She has a rivalry with [[Eveline Shieldbearer]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

Alicia was raised by a single mother. For most of her life, she did not know who her father was.

Rysan vanished in Aluray when she was young, and not long after, her mother was executed for prostitution.&lt;br /&gt;

Years later, Alicia reunited with Rysan and learned that he was her father—but soon after, she also learned he was none other than the Casiric High Priest [[Sorhan]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>

&#039;&#039;This page is under heavy renovation due to recent events in &#039;&#039;Sins of the Past&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;) was a Mizrani Phoenic occultist and High Priest of the [[Casiric Church]] for twelve years, from 482 until his death in 494.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan was one of the most feared men in the history of Marillia, as well as one of its least understood; his very name invoked fear in the hearts of archdevils, balors, and celestials. He was the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], a multiplanar conflict centered around the [[Marnova prophecy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan had at least seven children: [[Seena]], [[Jezra Dassari|Jezra Dassari (Nightshade)]], [[Nico]], [[Alicia]], [[Maz Morin]] (adoptive), Mahsi, and Sheila.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
He was variously called an avatar, son, or prophet of [[Casir]], an &lt;br /&gt;
he was shrouded in mystery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
| colspan=2 style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot; | Sorhan as the nobleman Lord Greymark&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| colspan=2 style=&amp;quot;text-align: center;&amp;quot; | &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;background-color: #c3d7ee; display: block;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (SOR-han, rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;; Phoenic: شرهان &#039;&#039;Sharhān&#039;&#039;) is a Phoenic occultist and the second of the High Priests of the [[Casiric Church]] by seniority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of [[Marillia]]; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]], son, or [[avatar]] of [[Casir]], an avatar of [[Ahuraiya]], a face of [[Nyarlathotep]], and a time-traveling [[Xoyahque]] who survived the [[Naque]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], the multiplanar conflict over the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He is the most powerful dream magician in [[Marillia]], possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guises ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Sorhan&#039;s many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and arcanist [[Greymark|Lord Greymark]], the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest [[Wallen]], the arcanist [[Faulkwin]], the Casirist swordsman Vickers, and the angel [[Glory|Glory/Nahros]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lord Greymark ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Greymark, Sorhan presented himself as a &amp;quot;new money&amp;quot; aristocrat and philanderer. Though peasant-born, he attained wealth mysteriously and suddenly years ago and and purchased his way into the Phoenic nobility, taking lordship over the small province of Kashana. He is a powerful [[arcanist]] who studied under the famed wizard [[Scarcella|Scarcella the Madman]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sulo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sulo, Sorhan presented himself as a renegade and outlaw, with connections to powerful pirate lords, most notably Jamit Angari and Colette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Faulkwin and Wallen ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Faulkwin, Sorhan presented himself as a powerful arcanist in the court of the king of Cand. He journeyed to the town of Thome, where he persuaded the Pale Brigade to slay one of his rebellious captains, Kripnak the God-Dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faulkwin, in turn, temporarily took on the guise of &amp;quot;Wallen,&amp;quot; an Ayan priest, who slaughtered a large Ayan temple in conjunction with [[Mortzopholus]]. Wallen was driven out by soldiers of Azaphiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vickers ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Vickers, Sorhan served &amp;quot;himself&amp;quot;: he appointed one of his servants (who resembles him superficially) to act as &amp;quot;Sorhan,&amp;quot; while he served as this decoy&#039;s right-hand man. Vickers slaughtered numerous Jihuthi villages, including Tezuma&#039;s, and temporarily came into possession of the sword Reshakk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Others ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Farun&lt;br /&gt;
* Glory/Nahros&lt;br /&gt;
* Rysan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extent of Sorhan&#039;s powers is unclear. At the very least, he is a master swordsman, one of the most powerful necromancers in Marillian history, and likely the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] presently in Marillia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is an anomaly among those aligned with Chaotic Evil; he is not impulsive, crass, temperamental, impatient, testy, short-tempered, vindictive, vitriolic, or spiteful. Rather, he is composed, patient, deliberate, calculating, mild-tempered, accommodating, nigh-impossible to anger, charming, humorous, charismatic, and affable. However, he is also sadistic, pitiless, duplicitous, a master manipulator, capable of astonishing cruelty, and armed with cunning that bests even archdevils and demon princes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the [[Sanctuary]], the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter&#039;s leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; [[Torm]], [[Raha]], and all of [[Celestia]]; [[Azenhar]] and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Kazali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is hated by his children [[Nico]] and [[Seena]]. He has groomed two of his other children, [[Maz Morin]] and [[Jezra Dassari]], into supporting him. He also fathered [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes about Sorhan ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Raysh]] is an evil man. My father is evil itself.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Nico, the son of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My father was not what you would expect. Many Casirists are impatient, impulsive, aimless, but my father is patient, deliberate, calculating, calm. He is a man of humor, wit, charm, and sensuality. None love him more than women.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan took everything from me. And when I thought there was nothing left to take from me, he took even more.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All men know and fear Sorhan.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Captain Veck, a Seuvian Azaphielite&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes terror as far as the Abyss, the City of Brass, and the Nine Hells themselves. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]] of [[Casir]], a son of Casir, and an [[avatar]] of Casir. [[Jassar|King Jassar]] believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by [[Mortzopholus]]. [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salysa Aidani]] of the [[Hadina]] famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is a highly enigmatic figure, not because of a lack of information about him, but rather because of an overabundance of it. There are ceaseless mutually contradictory reports about his activities all over [[Rhys]]. (For example, in August 494, it was reported that Sorhan was killed in Marnova, but only days later, he was spotted in Lozanre, where he assassinated Crown Princess Avaria.) Because of this seemingly senseless jumble of reports and sightings, some—including [[Jassar|King Jassar]] himself—have argued Sorhan does not even exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it&#039;s worth noting his alleged activities, so here they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 482, during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], reports begin spreading that one of the architects of the Black Terror, the Casiric High Priest Kithar, was stabbed nineteen times by an up-and-coming Casiric sorcerer named Sorhan and his followers. According to [[Nico]], this is the same year when his father (Sorhan) murdered his mother. Both King Jassar and [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salsya Aidani]] declare that Kithar had indeed been killed and that the Black Terror is over. At the same time, the Uma announces that Sorhan has been elevated to high priest and that he is the most dangerous man alive. Some critics accuse her of fearmongering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Note that the Black Terror was a 26-year-long period in which the entire country was terrorized by an unprecedented alliance between all three of Casir&#039;s high priests. In 481, one of those high priests was executed, and the following year, Sorhan murdered another one of those high priests. So when Salysa Aidani said &amp;quot;actually guys, this isn&#039;t so good: this Sorhan guy is 10x worse than any Casirist I&#039;ve ever seen in my 8-bajillion-year-long life,&amp;quot; people didn&#039;t want to hear it. They just wanted to celebrate the end of the Black Terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 490, during an armistice in the Eighth Occaria, a well-loved Hestati captain is assassinated by Casirists in broad daylight in the streets of Alicantian-occupied Gazan. The [[Hestati]] immediately accuse Sorhan of leading the assassination. Peace talks between the belligerents break down, and the [[Eighth Occaria]] resumes shortly after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 494 has been a big one for Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 August 494, the Lucian population of Marnova, newly annexed by Alicante, is slaughtered. [[Raysh|Lord Raysh]] declares it was done by Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 August 494, after weeks of unrest, Sorhan leads a slave revolt in Troyosha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 August 494, the city government of Troyosha is toppled. Sorhan initiates a massive purge of merchants, slave masters, and nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 August 494, during the harvest banquet in Lozanre, Casirists led by a figure later identified as Sorhan commandeer a naval airship and steer it towards the prince&#039;s palace. They open fire on a crowd of Phoenic nobles and Alicantian diplomats. The crown later announces that Crown Princess Avaria was among those murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure dressed in the garb of a ra of Ogissia is seen attending a ball in the City of Brass hosted by the jinn lord Marjaid. He claimed to be Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over in Seuvia, according to the claims of many, Sorhan has chained the [[Sevani|gods of the Seuvians]], thereby nullifying the powers of Seuvian clerics. Soon after, an exceedingly powerful arcanist by the name of Faulkwin arrives in the Seuvian town of Thome to aid the Pale Brigade in taking down Kripnak, a servant of Sorhan and the self-proclaimed prophet of [[Sorn]]. Lazarus Steele recognizes him as Wallen, a Zehirite who slaughtered an entire Ayan temple and was declared by his followers to be Sorhan. It is unclear why on earth Sorhan would help the Pale Brigade kill his own officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, it has been reported numerous times that he has been murdered or executed.&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Sorhan&#039;s many guises (and the uncertainty &#039;&#039;that he even exists&#039;&#039;), it is extremely difficult to keep track of his activities. It is never clear if a report about his activities is &amp;quot;really him,&amp;quot; an imitator, or a servant of his masquerading as him. Nevertheless, here are some of the reports of his activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is exceedingly difficult to say what powers Sorhan has and doesn&#039;t have, since we don&#039;t know for sure who he is or if he even exists. It could be the case that every person claiming to be &amp;quot;Sorhan&amp;quot; is a completely different person. However, assuming there is indeed a person named Sorhan, here are some of his reported powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the bink Koley, Sorhan is the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] in Marillia. Certainly, someone has been manipulating the dreams of the [[Pale Brigade]] masterfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be a master swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be an extraordinarily powerful necromancer. He has a vast population of undead performing manual labor in and around Troyosha. He is also capable of constructing and utilizing [[dread rings of power]]—a remarkable necromantic feat. He also seems to be able to return from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be able to summon and control demons and evil [[jinn]]. He brought a balor to its knees with no more than a flick of the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is not exactly a popular guy. Pretty much everyone hates him, including virtually all of Phoena&#039;s Vaishans and Mishraists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salysa Aidani]], the Uma of the [[Hadina]], is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Raysh]] hates Sorhan, mainly because he believes Sorhan sabotaged peace talks between Alicante and Phoena during the Eighth Occaria, which indirectly led to the death of Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nico]] claims to be Sorhan&#039;s son. He despises his father for murdering his mother. Assuming he&#039;s telling the truth (and is correct), this would indicate Sorhan was married at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alicia]] hates Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Sanctuary]] opposes Sorhan and would love to see him nailed to a cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[bink]] Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro&#039;s daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], [[Azaphiel]], [[Hyetta]], [[Valaris]], [[Hasinsa]], and [[Calo]]; by the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Azenhar]]; the god [[Torm]]; and the angel [[Colwyn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan&#039;s &amp;quot;new gospel&amp;quot; (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity). At the very least, the fact that [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]] forged a tenuous pact with him suggests she at least thinks Sorhan may be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan&#039;s three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan&#039;s most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;This page is under heavy renovation due to recent events in &#039;&#039;Sins of the Past&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;) was a Mizrani Phoenic occultist and High Priest of the [[Casiric Church]] for twelve years, from 482 until his death in 494.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan was one of the most feared men in the history of Marillia, as well as one of its least understood; his very name invoked fear in the hearts of archdevils, balors, and celestials. He was the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], a multiplanar conflict centered around the [[Marnova prophecy]].&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
He was variously called an avatar, son, or prophet of [[Casir]], an &lt;br /&gt;
he was shrouded in mystery&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (SOR-han, rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;; Phoenic: شرهان &#039;&#039;Sharhān&#039;&#039;) is a Phoenic occultist and the second of the High Priests of the [[Casiric Church]] by seniority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of [[Marillia]]; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]], son, or [[avatar]] of [[Casir]], an avatar of [[Ahuraiya]], a face of [[Nyarlathotep]], and a time-traveling [[Xoyahque]] who survived the [[Naque]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], the multiplanar conflict over the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He is the most powerful dream magician in [[Marillia]], possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guises ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Sorhan&#039;s many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and arcanist [[Greymark|Lord Greymark]], the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest [[Wallen]], the arcanist [[Faulkwin]], the Casirist swordsman Vickers, and the angel [[Glory|Glory/Nahros]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lord Greymark ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Greymark, Sorhan presented himself as a &amp;quot;new money&amp;quot; aristocrat and philanderer. Though peasant-born, he attained wealth mysteriously and suddenly years ago and and purchased his way into the Phoenic nobility, taking lordship over the small province of Kashana. He is a powerful [[arcanist]] who studied under the famed wizard [[Scarcella|Scarcella the Madman]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sulo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sulo, Sorhan presented himself as a renegade and outlaw, with connections to powerful pirate lords, most notably Jamit Angari and Colette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Faulkwin and Wallen ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Faulkwin, Sorhan presented himself as a powerful arcanist in the court of the king of Cand. He journeyed to the town of Thome, where he persuaded the Pale Brigade to slay one of his rebellious captains, Kripnak the God-Dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faulkwin, in turn, temporarily took on the guise of &amp;quot;Wallen,&amp;quot; an Ayan priest, who slaughtered a large Ayan temple in conjunction with [[Mortzopholus]]. Wallen was driven out by soldiers of Azaphiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vickers ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Vickers, Sorhan served &amp;quot;himself&amp;quot;: he appointed one of his servants (who resembles him superficially) to act as &amp;quot;Sorhan,&amp;quot; while he served as this decoy&#039;s right-hand man. Vickers slaughtered numerous Jihuthi villages, including Tezuma&#039;s, and temporarily came into possession of the sword Reshakk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Others ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Farun&lt;br /&gt;
* Glory/Nahros&lt;br /&gt;
* Rysan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extent of Sorhan&#039;s powers is unclear. At the very least, he is a master swordsman, one of the most powerful necromancers in Marillian history, and likely the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] presently in Marillia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is an anomaly among those aligned with Chaotic Evil; he is not impulsive, crass, temperamental, impatient, testy, short-tempered, vindictive, vitriolic, or spiteful. Rather, he is composed, patient, deliberate, calculating, mild-tempered, accommodating, nigh-impossible to anger, charming, humorous, charismatic, and affable. However, he is also sadistic, pitiless, duplicitous, a master manipulator, capable of astonishing cruelty, and armed with cunning that bests even archdevils and demon princes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the [[Sanctuary]], the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter&#039;s leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; [[Torm]], [[Raha]], and all of [[Celestia]]; [[Azenhar]] and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Kazali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is hated by his children [[Nico]] and [[Seena]]. He has groomed two of his other children, [[Maz Morin]] and [[Jezra Dassari]], into supporting him. He also fathered [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes about Sorhan ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Raysh]] is an evil man. My father is evil itself.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Nico, the son of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My father was not what you would expect. Many Casirists are impatient, impulsive, aimless, but my father is patient, deliberate, calculating, calm. He is a man of humor, wit, charm, and sensuality. None love him more than women.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan took everything from me. And when I thought there was nothing left to take from me, he took even more.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All men know and fear Sorhan.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Captain Veck, a Seuvian Azaphielite&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes terror as far as the Abyss, the City of Brass, and the Nine Hells themselves. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]] of [[Casir]], a son of Casir, and an [[avatar]] of Casir. [[Jassar|King Jassar]] believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by [[Mortzopholus]]. [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salysa Aidani]] of the [[Hadina]] famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is a highly enigmatic figure, not because of a lack of information about him, but rather because of an overabundance of it. There are ceaseless mutually contradictory reports about his activities all over [[Rhys]]. (For example, in August 494, it was reported that Sorhan was killed in Marnova, but only days later, he was spotted in Lozanre, where he assassinated Crown Princess Avaria.) Because of this seemingly senseless jumble of reports and sightings, some—including [[Jassar|King Jassar]] himself—have argued Sorhan does not even exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it&#039;s worth noting his alleged activities, so here they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 482, during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], reports begin spreading that one of the architects of the Black Terror, the Casiric High Priest Kithar, was stabbed nineteen times by an up-and-coming Casiric sorcerer named Sorhan and his followers. According to [[Nico]], this is the same year when his father (Sorhan) murdered his mother. Both King Jassar and [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salsya Aidani]] declare that Kithar had indeed been killed and that the Black Terror is over. At the same time, the Uma announces that Sorhan has been elevated to high priest and that he is the most dangerous man alive. Some critics accuse her of fearmongering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Note that the Black Terror was a 26-year-long period in which the entire country was terrorized by an unprecedented alliance between all three of Casir&#039;s high priests. In 481, one of those high priests was executed, and the following year, Sorhan murdered another one of those high priests. So when Salysa Aidani said &amp;quot;actually guys, this isn&#039;t so good: this Sorhan guy is 10x worse than any Casirist I&#039;ve ever seen in my 8-bajillion-year-long life,&amp;quot; people didn&#039;t want to hear it. They just wanted to celebrate the end of the Black Terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 490, during an armistice in the Eighth Occaria, a well-loved Hestati captain is assassinated by Casirists in broad daylight in the streets of Alicantian-occupied Gazan. The [[Hestati]] immediately accuse Sorhan of leading the assassination. Peace talks between the belligerents break down, and the [[Eighth Occaria]] resumes shortly after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 494 has been a big one for Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 August 494, the Lucian population of Marnova, newly annexed by Alicante, is slaughtered. [[Raysh|Lord Raysh]] declares it was done by Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 August 494, after weeks of unrest, Sorhan leads a slave revolt in Troyosha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 August 494, the city government of Troyosha is toppled. Sorhan initiates a massive purge of merchants, slave masters, and nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 August 494, during the harvest banquet in Lozanre, Casirists led by a figure later identified as Sorhan commandeer a naval airship and steer it towards the prince&#039;s palace. They open fire on a crowd of Phoenic nobles and Alicantian diplomats. The crown later announces that Crown Princess Avaria was among those murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure dressed in the garb of a ra of Ogissia is seen attending a ball in the City of Brass hosted by the jinn lord Marjaid. He claimed to be Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over in Seuvia, according to the claims of many, Sorhan has chained the [[Sevani|gods of the Seuvians]], thereby nullifying the powers of Seuvian clerics. Soon after, an exceedingly powerful arcanist by the name of Faulkwin arrives in the Seuvian town of Thome to aid the Pale Brigade in taking down Kripnak, a servant of Sorhan and the self-proclaimed prophet of [[Sorn]]. Lazarus Steele recognizes him as Wallen, a Zehirite who slaughtered an entire Ayan temple and was declared by his followers to be Sorhan. It is unclear why on earth Sorhan would help the Pale Brigade kill his own officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, it has been reported numerous times that he has been murdered or executed.&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Sorhan&#039;s many guises (and the uncertainty &#039;&#039;that he even exists&#039;&#039;), it is extremely difficult to keep track of his activities. It is never clear if a report about his activities is &amp;quot;really him,&amp;quot; an imitator, or a servant of his masquerading as him. Nevertheless, here are some of the reports of his activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is exceedingly difficult to say what powers Sorhan has and doesn&#039;t have, since we don&#039;t know for sure who he is or if he even exists. It could be the case that every person claiming to be &amp;quot;Sorhan&amp;quot; is a completely different person. However, assuming there is indeed a person named Sorhan, here are some of his reported powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the bink Koley, Sorhan is the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] in Marillia. Certainly, someone has been manipulating the dreams of the [[Pale Brigade]] masterfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be a master swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be an extraordinarily powerful necromancer. He has a vast population of undead performing manual labor in and around Troyosha. He is also capable of constructing and utilizing [[dread rings of power]]—a remarkable necromantic feat. He also seems to be able to return from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be able to summon and control demons and evil [[jinn]]. He brought a balor to its knees with no more than a flick of the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is not exactly a popular guy. Pretty much everyone hates him, including virtually all of Phoena&#039;s Vaishans and Mishraists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salysa Aidani]], the Uma of the [[Hadina]], is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Raysh]] hates Sorhan, mainly because he believes Sorhan sabotaged peace talks between Alicante and Phoena during the Eighth Occaria, which indirectly led to the death of Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nico]] claims to be Sorhan&#039;s son. He despises his father for murdering his mother. Assuming he&#039;s telling the truth (and is correct), this would indicate Sorhan was married at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alicia]] hates Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Sanctuary]] opposes Sorhan and would love to see him nailed to a cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[bink]] Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro&#039;s daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], [[Azaphiel]], [[Hyetta]], [[Valaris]], [[Hasinsa]], and [[Calo]]; by the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Azenhar]]; the god [[Torm]]; and the angel [[Colwyn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan&#039;s &amp;quot;new gospel&amp;quot; (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity). At the very least, the fact that [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]] forged a tenuous pact with him suggests she at least thinks Sorhan may be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan&#039;s three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan&#039;s most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Casiric Church&#039;&#039;&#039; is a large, decentralized religious institution based in Phoena dedicated to the worship of [[Casir]], the [[Saphorism|Phoenic god]] of the desert.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although lawless, volatile, and tumultuous, like the [[Abyss]] there is, paradoxically, a strange semblance of order in the Church. It is structured as an extremely unstable pyramid topped by three high priests. Currently, the three are (in descending order of seniority): [[Mortzopholus]], [[Sorhan]], and [[Raysh|Zehr]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known members ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Maz Morin, one of Sorhan&#039;s three war chiefs and his second-in-command, having replaced Yadeen Azaro.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mortzopholus&lt;br /&gt;
* Rico Valenzo, one of Sorhan&#039;s three war chiefs. An Alicantian.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
* Thurik Zayhar, one of Sorhan&#039;s three war chiefs.&lt;br /&gt;
* Zehr&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Leadership ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, the Church has been led by three high priests. This is not a rule; there is no official process for selecting a new high priest, nor for removing one. At times, more than three people have claimed to be high priests, and at other times, there have been fewer than three. One becomes high priest simply by being recognized as high priest. This often occurs by assassinating a current high priest or being recognized by another high priest or other major religious figure. For example, according to Nico, Sorhan became high priest by assassinating the High Priest Kithar and ritually murdering his own wife, thereby earning recognition from [[Mortzopholus]]. Soon after, Casirists across Phoena recognized Sorhan&#039;s ascension, and his status was cemented when Salysa Aidani, Uma of the Hadina, recognized him.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;It was a by-product of her declaring him the greatest threat to the Hadina and &amp;quot;the most dangerous man alive.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current high priests are Mortzopholus, who is most senior and has been a high priest for decades; Sorhan, who became a high priest after assassinating Kithar and being recognized by Mortzopholus; and Zehr, who became high priest during the last years of the Eighth Occaria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== List of high priests ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Faywaz, executed in 454 by King Uthayn IV&lt;br /&gt;
* Rayman, a high priest during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]]. Executed by King Jassar in 481.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kithar, the high priest preceding Sorhan. Assassinated by Sorhan and his followers in 482.&lt;br /&gt;
* Zehr. Became high priest circa the year 492 (filling a vacancy), was killed in 494 by the [[Pale Brigade]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Sorhan, who was high priest from 482 (when he assassinated Kithar) until he was killed in 494 by the [[Pale Brigade]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039;: Mortzopholus, most senior of the current high priests&lt;br /&gt;

== Casirism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The theology of the Casiric Church is sometimes described as &#039;&amp;quot;Casirism&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of Casirism varies greatly, depending on the time, place, and practitioner.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;) was a Mizrani Phoenic occultist and High Priest of the [[Casiric Church]] for twelve years, from 482 until his death in 494.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (SOR-han, rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;; Phoenic: شرهان &#039;&#039;Sharhān&#039;&#039;) is a Phoenic occultist and the second of the High Priests of the [[Casiric Church]] by seniority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of [[Marillia]]; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]], son, or [[avatar]] of [[Casir]], an avatar of [[Ahuraiya]], a face of [[Nyarlathotep]], and a time-traveling [[Xoyahque]] who survived the [[Naque]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], the multiplanar conflict over the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He is the most powerful dream magician in [[Marillia]], possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guises ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Sorhan&#039;s many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and arcanist [[Greymark|Lord Greymark]], the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest [[Wallen]], the arcanist [[Faulkwin]], the Casirist swordsman Vickers, and the angel [[Glory|Glory/Nahros]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lord Greymark ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Greymark, Sorhan presented himself as a &amp;quot;new money&amp;quot; aristocrat and philanderer. Though peasant-born, he attained wealth mysteriously and suddenly years ago and and purchased his way into the Phoenic nobility, taking lordship over the small province of Kashana. He is a powerful [[arcanist]] who studied under the famed wizard [[Scarcella|Scarcella the Madman]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sulo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sulo, Sorhan presented himself as a renegade and outlaw, with connections to powerful pirate lords, most notably Jamit Angari and Colette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Faulkwin and Wallen ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Faulkwin, Sorhan presented himself as a powerful arcanist in the court of the king of Cand. He journeyed to the town of Thome, where he persuaded the Pale Brigade to slay one of his rebellious captains, Kripnak the God-Dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faulkwin, in turn, temporarily took on the guise of &amp;quot;Wallen,&amp;quot; an Ayan priest, who slaughtered a large Ayan temple in conjunction with [[Mortzopholus]]. Wallen was driven out by soldiers of Azaphiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vickers ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Vickers, Sorhan served &amp;quot;himself&amp;quot;: he appointed one of his servants (who resembles him superficially) to act as &amp;quot;Sorhan,&amp;quot; while he served as this decoy&#039;s right-hand man. Vickers slaughtered numerous Jihuthi villages, including Tezuma&#039;s, and temporarily came into possession of the sword Reshakk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Others ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Farun&lt;br /&gt;
* Glory/Nahros&lt;br /&gt;
* Rysan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extent of Sorhan&#039;s powers is unclear. At the very least, he is a master swordsman, one of the most powerful necromancers in Marillian history, and likely the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] presently in Marillia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is an anomaly among those aligned with Chaotic Evil; he is not impulsive, crass, temperamental, impatient, testy, short-tempered, vindictive, vitriolic, or spiteful. Rather, he is composed, patient, deliberate, calculating, mild-tempered, accommodating, nigh-impossible to anger, charming, humorous, charismatic, and affable. However, he is also sadistic, pitiless, duplicitous, a master manipulator, capable of astonishing cruelty, and armed with cunning that bests even archdevils and demon princes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the [[Sanctuary]], the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter&#039;s leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; [[Torm]], [[Raha]], and all of [[Celestia]]; [[Azenhar]] and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Kazali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is hated by his children [[Nico]] and [[Seena]]. He has groomed two of his other children, [[Maz Morin]] and [[Jezra Dassari]], into supporting him. He also fathered [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes about Sorhan ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Raysh]] is an evil man. My father is evil itself.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Nico, the son of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My father was not what you would expect. Many Casirists are impatient, impulsive, aimless, but my father is patient, deliberate, calculating, calm. He is a man of humor, wit, charm, and sensuality. None love him more than women.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan took everything from me. And when I thought there was nothing left to take from me, he took even more.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All men know and fear Sorhan.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Captain Veck, a Seuvian Azaphielite&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan is to Raysh as the tiger is to the wild dog.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes terror as far as the Abyss, the City of Brass, and the Nine Hells themselves. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]] of [[Casir]], a son of Casir, and an [[avatar]] of Casir. [[Jassar|King Jassar]] believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by [[Mortzopholus]]. [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salysa Aidani]] of the [[Hadina]] famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is a highly enigmatic figure, not because of a lack of information about him, but rather because of an overabundance of it. There are ceaseless mutually contradictory reports about his activities all over [[Rhys]]. (For example, in August 494, it was reported that Sorhan was killed in Marnova, but only days later, he was spotted in Lozanre, where he assassinated Crown Princess Avaria.) Because of this seemingly senseless jumble of reports and sightings, some—including [[Jassar|King Jassar]] himself—have argued Sorhan does not even exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it&#039;s worth noting his alleged activities, so here they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 482, during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], reports begin spreading that one of the architects of the Black Terror, the Casiric High Priest Kithar, was stabbed nineteen times by an up-and-coming Casiric sorcerer named Sorhan and his followers. According to [[Nico]], this is the same year when his father (Sorhan) murdered his mother. Both King Jassar and [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salsya Aidani]] declare that Kithar had indeed been killed and that the Black Terror is over. At the same time, the Uma announces that Sorhan has been elevated to high priest and that he is the most dangerous man alive. Some critics accuse her of fearmongering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Note that the Black Terror was a 26-year-long period in which the entire country was terrorized by an unprecedented alliance between all three of Casir&#039;s high priests. In 481, one of those high priests was executed, and the following year, Sorhan murdered another one of those high priests. So when Salysa Aidani said &amp;quot;actually guys, this isn&#039;t so good: this Sorhan guy is 10x worse than any Casirist I&#039;ve ever seen in my 8-bajillion-year-long life,&amp;quot; people didn&#039;t want to hear it. They just wanted to celebrate the end of the Black Terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 490, during an armistice in the Eighth Occaria, a well-loved Hestati captain is assassinated by Casirists in broad daylight in the streets of Alicantian-occupied Gazan. The [[Hestati]] immediately accuse Sorhan of leading the assassination. Peace talks between the belligerents break down, and the [[Eighth Occaria]] resumes shortly after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 494 has been a big one for Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 August 494, the Lucian population of Marnova, newly annexed by Alicante, is slaughtered. [[Raysh|Lord Raysh]] declares it was done by Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 August 494, after weeks of unrest, Sorhan leads a slave revolt in Troyosha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 August 494, the city government of Troyosha is toppled. Sorhan initiates a massive purge of merchants, slave masters, and nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 August 494, during the harvest banquet in Lozanre, Casirists led by a figure later identified as Sorhan commandeer a naval airship and steer it towards the prince&#039;s palace. They open fire on a crowd of Phoenic nobles and Alicantian diplomats. The crown later announces that Crown Princess Avaria was among those murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure dressed in the garb of a ra of Ogissia is seen attending a ball in the City of Brass hosted by the jinn lord Marjaid. He claimed to be Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over in Seuvia, according to the claims of many, Sorhan has chained the [[Sevani|gods of the Seuvians]], thereby nullifying the powers of Seuvian clerics. Soon after, an exceedingly powerful arcanist by the name of Faulkwin arrives in the Seuvian town of Thome to aid the Pale Brigade in taking down Kripnak, a servant of Sorhan and the self-proclaimed prophet of [[Sorn]]. Lazarus Steele recognizes him as Wallen, a Zehirite who slaughtered an entire Ayan temple and was declared by his followers to be Sorhan. It is unclear why on earth Sorhan would help the Pale Brigade kill his own officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, it has been reported numerous times that he has been murdered or executed.&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Sorhan&#039;s many guises (and the uncertainty &#039;&#039;that he even exists&#039;&#039;), it is extremely difficult to keep track of his activities. It is never clear if a report about his activities is &amp;quot;really him,&amp;quot; an imitator, or a servant of his masquerading as him. Nevertheless, here are some of the reports of his activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is exceedingly difficult to say what powers Sorhan has and doesn&#039;t have, since we don&#039;t know for sure who he is or if he even exists. It could be the case that every person claiming to be &amp;quot;Sorhan&amp;quot; is a completely different person. However, assuming there is indeed a person named Sorhan, here are some of his reported powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the bink Koley, Sorhan is the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] in Marillia. Certainly, someone has been manipulating the dreams of the [[Pale Brigade]] masterfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be a master swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be an extraordinarily powerful necromancer. He has a vast population of undead performing manual labor in and around Troyosha. He is also capable of constructing and utilizing [[dread rings of power]]—a remarkable necromantic feat. He also seems to be able to return from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be able to summon and control demons and evil [[jinn]]. He brought a balor to its knees with no more than a flick of the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is not exactly a popular guy. Pretty much everyone hates him, including virtually all of Phoena&#039;s Vaishans and Mishraists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salysa Aidani]], the Uma of the [[Hadina]], is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Raysh]] hates Sorhan, mainly because he believes Sorhan sabotaged peace talks between Alicante and Phoena during the Eighth Occaria, which indirectly led to the death of Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nico]] claims to be Sorhan&#039;s son. He despises his father for murdering his mother. Assuming he&#039;s telling the truth (and is correct), this would indicate Sorhan was married at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alicia]] hates Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Sanctuary]] opposes Sorhan and would love to see him nailed to a cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[bink]] Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro&#039;s daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], [[Azaphiel]], [[Hyetta]], [[Valaris]], [[Hasinsa]], and [[Calo]]; by the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Azenhar]]; the god [[Torm]]; and the angel [[Colwyn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan&#039;s &amp;quot;new gospel&amp;quot; (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity). At the very least, the fact that [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]] forged a tenuous pact with him suggests she at least thinks Sorhan may be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan&#039;s three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan&#039;s most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Mortzopholus was a central figure in the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], and the only Casiric high priest to survive it. Since then, he has fallen into obscurity. He is, however, a significant part of the Red Terror: he is mentoring Zehr/Raysh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite being one of the longest-lasting figures in mainstream Phoenic culture (note: he&#039;s 72 and was made high priest at 26), Mortzopholus is an enigma. Little to nothing is known of his early life&lt;br /&gt;

Despite being one of the longest-lasting figures in mainstream Phoenic culture (note: he&#039;s 72 and was made high priest at 26), Mortzopholus is an enigma. Little to nothing is known of his early life&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;This page is under heavy renovation due to recent events in &#039;&#039;Sins of the Past&#039;&#039;.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (SOR-han, rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;; Phoenic: شرهان &#039;&#039;Sharhān&#039;&#039;) is a Phoenic occultist and the second of the High Priests of the [[Casiric Church]] by seniority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of [[Marillia]]; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]], son, or [[avatar]] of [[Casir]], an avatar of [[Ahuraiya]], a face of [[Nyarlathotep]], and a time-traveling [[Xoyahque]] who survived the [[Naque]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], the multiplanar conflict over the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He is the most powerful dream magician in [[Marillia]], possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guises ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Sorhan&#039;s many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and arcanist [[Greymark|Lord Greymark]], the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest [[Wallen]], the arcanist [[Faulkwin]], the Casirist swordsman Vickers, and the angel [[Glory|Glory/Nahros]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lord Greymark ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Greymark, Sorhan presented himself as a &amp;quot;new money&amp;quot; aristocrat and philanderer. Though peasant-born, he attained wealth mysteriously and suddenly years ago and and purchased his way into the Phoenic nobility, taking lordship over the small province of Kashana. He is a powerful [[arcanist]] who studied under the famed wizard [[Scarcella|Scarcella the Madman]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sulo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sulo, Sorhan presented himself as a renegade and outlaw, with connections to powerful pirate lords, most notably Jamit Angari and Colette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Faulkwin and Wallen ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Faulkwin, Sorhan presented himself as a powerful arcanist in the court of the king of Cand. He journeyed to the town of Thome, where he persuaded the Pale Brigade to slay one of his rebellious captains, Kripnak the God-Dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faulkwin, in turn, temporarily took on the guise of &amp;quot;Wallen,&amp;quot; an Ayan priest, who slaughtered a large Ayan temple in conjunction with [[Mortzopholus]]. Wallen was driven out by soldiers of Azaphiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vickers ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Vickers, Sorhan served &amp;quot;himself&amp;quot;: he appointed one of his servants (who resembles him superficially) to act as &amp;quot;Sorhan,&amp;quot; while he served as this decoy&#039;s right-hand man. Vickers slaughtered numerous Jihuthi villages, including Tezuma&#039;s, and temporarily came into possession of the sword Reshakk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Others ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Farun&lt;br /&gt;
* Glory/Nahros&lt;br /&gt;
* Rysan&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extent of Sorhan&#039;s powers is unclear. At the very least, he is a master swordsman, one of the most powerful necromancers in Marillian history, and likely the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] presently in Marillia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is an anomaly among those aligned with Chaotic Evil; he is not impulsive, crass, temperamental, impatient, testy, short-tempered, vindictive, vitriolic, or spiteful. Rather, he is composed, patient, deliberate, calculating, mild-tempered, accommodating, nigh-impossible to anger, charming, humorous, charismatic, and affable. However, he is also sadistic, pitiless, duplicitous, a master manipulator, capable of astonishing cruelty, and armed with cunning that bests even archdevils and demon princes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the [[Sanctuary]], the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter&#039;s leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; [[Torm]], [[Raha]], and all of [[Celestia]]; [[Azenhar]] and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Kazali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is hated by his children [[Nico]] and [[Seena]]. He has groomed two of his other children, [[Maz Morin]] and [[Jezra Dassari]], into supporting him. He also fathered [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes about Sorhan ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Raysh]] is an evil man. My father is evil itself.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Nico, the son of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My father was not what you would expect. Many Casirists are impatient, impulsive, aimless, but my father is patient, deliberate, calculating, calm. He is a man of humor, wit, charm, and sensuality. None love him more than women.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan took everything from me. And when I thought there was nothing left to take from me, he took even more.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All men know and fear Sorhan.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Captain Veck, a Seuvian Azaphielite&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan is to Raysh as the tiger is to the wild dog.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes terror as far as the Abyss, the City of Brass, and the Nine Hells themselves. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]] of [[Casir]], a son of Casir, and an [[avatar]] of Casir. [[Jassar|King Jassar]] believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by [[Mortzopholus]]. [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salysa Aidani]] of the [[Hadina]] famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is a highly enigmatic figure, not because of a lack of information about him, but rather because of an overabundance of it. There are ceaseless mutually contradictory reports about his activities all over [[Rhys]]. (For example, in August 494, it was reported that Sorhan was killed in Marnova, but only days later, he was spotted in Lozanre, where he assassinated Crown Princess Avaria.) Because of this seemingly senseless jumble of reports and sightings, some—including [[Jassar|King Jassar]] himself—have argued Sorhan does not even exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it&#039;s worth noting his alleged activities, so here they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 482, during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], reports begin spreading that one of the architects of the Black Terror, the Casiric High Priest Kithar, was stabbed nineteen times by an up-and-coming Casiric sorcerer named Sorhan and his followers. According to [[Nico]], this is the same year when his father (Sorhan) murdered his mother. Both King Jassar and [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salsya Aidani]] declare that Kithar had indeed been killed and that the Black Terror is over. At the same time, the Uma announces that Sorhan has been elevated to high priest and that he is the most dangerous man alive. Some critics accuse her of fearmongering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Note that the Black Terror was a 26-year-long period in which the entire country was terrorized by an unprecedented alliance between all three of Casir&#039;s high priests. In 481, one of those high priests was executed, and the following year, Sorhan murdered another one of those high priests. So when Salysa Aidani said &amp;quot;actually guys, this isn&#039;t so good: this Sorhan guy is 10x worse than any Casirist I&#039;ve ever seen in my 8-bajillion-year-long life,&amp;quot; people didn&#039;t want to hear it. They just wanted to celebrate the end of the Black Terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 490, during an armistice in the Eighth Occaria, a well-loved Hestati captain is assassinated by Casirists in broad daylight in the streets of Alicantian-occupied Gazan. The [[Hestati]] immediately accuse Sorhan of leading the assassination. Peace talks between the belligerents break down, and the [[Eighth Occaria]] resumes shortly after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 494 has been a big one for Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 August 494, the Lucian population of Marnova, newly annexed by Alicante, is slaughtered. [[Raysh|Lord Raysh]] declares it was done by Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 August 494, after weeks of unrest, Sorhan leads a slave revolt in Troyosha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 August 494, the city government of Troyosha is toppled. Sorhan initiates a massive purge of merchants, slave masters, and nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 August 494, during the harvest banquet in Lozanre, Casirists led by a figure later identified as Sorhan commandeer a naval airship and steer it towards the prince&#039;s palace. They open fire on a crowd of Phoenic nobles and Alicantian diplomats. The crown later announces that Crown Princess Avaria was among those murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure dressed in the garb of a ra of Ogissia is seen attending a ball in the City of Brass hosted by the jinn lord Marjaid. He claimed to be Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over in Seuvia, according to the claims of many, Sorhan has chained the [[Sevani|gods of the Seuvians]], thereby nullifying the powers of Seuvian clerics. Soon after, an exceedingly powerful arcanist by the name of Faulkwin arrives in the Seuvian town of Thome to aid the Pale Brigade in taking down Kripnak, a servant of Sorhan and the self-proclaimed prophet of [[Sorn]]. Lazarus Steele recognizes him as Wallen, a Zehirite who slaughtered an entire Ayan temple and was declared by his followers to be Sorhan. It is unclear why on earth Sorhan would help the Pale Brigade kill his own officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, it has been reported numerous times that he has been murdered or executed.&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Sorhan&#039;s many guises (and the uncertainty &#039;&#039;that he even exists&#039;&#039;), it is extremely difficult to keep track of his activities. It is never clear if a report about his activities is &amp;quot;really him,&amp;quot; an imitator, or a servant of his masquerading as him. Nevertheless, here are some of the reports of his activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is exceedingly difficult to say what powers Sorhan has and doesn&#039;t have, since we don&#039;t know for sure who he is or if he even exists. It could be the case that every person claiming to be &amp;quot;Sorhan&amp;quot; is a completely different person. However, assuming there is indeed a person named Sorhan, here are some of his reported powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the bink Koley, Sorhan is the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] in Marillia. Certainly, someone has been manipulating the dreams of the [[Pale Brigade]] masterfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be a master swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be an extraordinarily powerful necromancer. He has a vast population of undead performing manual labor in and around Troyosha. He is also capable of constructing and utilizing [[dread rings of power]]—a remarkable necromantic feat. He also seems to be able to return from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be able to summon and control demons and evil [[jinn]]. He brought a balor to its knees with no more than a flick of the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is not exactly a popular guy. Pretty much everyone hates him, including virtually all of Phoena&#039;s Vaishans and Mishraists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salysa Aidani]], the Uma of the [[Hadina]], is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Raysh]] hates Sorhan, mainly because he believes Sorhan sabotaged peace talks between Alicante and Phoena during the Eighth Occaria, which indirectly led to the death of Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nico]] claims to be Sorhan&#039;s son. He despises his father for murdering his mother. Assuming he&#039;s telling the truth (and is correct), this would indicate Sorhan was married at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alicia]] hates Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Sanctuary]] opposes Sorhan and would love to see him nailed to a cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[bink]] Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro&#039;s daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], [[Azaphiel]], [[Hyetta]], [[Valaris]], [[Hasinsa]], and [[Calo]]; by the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Azenhar]]; the god [[Torm]]; and the angel [[Colwyn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan&#039;s &amp;quot;new gospel&amp;quot; (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity). At the very least, the fact that [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]] forged a tenuous pact with him suggests she at least thinks Sorhan may be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan&#039;s three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan&#039;s most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Sorhan&#039;&#039;&#039; (SOR-han, rhymes with &amp;quot;4chan&amp;quot;; Phoenic: شرهان &#039;&#039;Sharhān&#039;&#039;) is a Phoenic occultist and the second of the High Priests of the [[Casiric Church]] by seniority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of [[Marillia]]; his very name invokes fear even in the likes of demons, devils, celestials, and gods. He is a deeply mysterious, poorly understood figure, and theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]], son, or [[avatar]] of [[Casir]], an avatar of [[Ahuraiya]], a face of [[Nyarlathotep]], and a time-traveling [[Xoyahque]] who survived the [[Naque]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Red Terror]], the multiplanar conflict over the [[Marnova prophecy]]. He is the most powerful dream magician in [[Marillia]], possibly its greatest swordsman, and an extraordinarily powerful necromancer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Guises ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among Sorhan&#039;s many guises are the Phoenic nobleman and arcanist [[Greymark|Lord Greymark]], the renegade Sulo, the Ayan priest [[Wallen]], the arcanist [[Faulkwin]], the Casirist swordsman Vickers, and the angel [[Glory|Glory/Nahros]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Lord Greymark ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Lord Greymark, Sorhan presented himself as a &amp;quot;new money&amp;quot; aristocrat and philanderer. Though peasant-born, he attained wealth mysteriously and suddenly years ago and and purchased his way into the Phoenic nobility, taking lordship over the small province of Kashana. He is a powerful [[arcanist]] who studied under the famed wizard [[Scarcella|Scarcella the Madman]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Sulo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Sulo, Sorhan presented himself as a renegade and outlaw, with connections to powerful pirate lords, most notably Jamit Angari and Colette.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Faulkwin and Wallen ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Faulkwin, Sorhan presented himself as a powerful arcanist in the court of the king of Cand. He journeyed to the town of Thome, where he persuaded the Pale Brigade to slay one of his rebellious captains, Kripnak the God-Dreamer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Faulkwin, in turn, temporarily took on the guise of &amp;quot;Wallen,&amp;quot; an Ayan priest, who slaughtered a large Ayan temple in conjunction with [[Mortzopholus]]. Wallen was driven out by soldiers of Azaphiel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Vickers ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Vickers, Sorhan served &amp;quot;himself&amp;quot;: he appointed one of his servants (who resembles him superficially) to act as &amp;quot;Sorhan,&amp;quot; while he served as this decoy&#039;s right-hand man. Vickers slaughtered numerous Jihuthi villages, including Tezuma&#039;s, and temporarily came into possession of the sword Reshakk.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The extent of Sorhan&#039;s powers is unclear. At the very least, he is a master swordsman, one of the most powerful necromancers in Marillian history, and likely the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] presently in Marillia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is an anomaly among those aligned with Chaotic Evil; he is not impulsive, crass, temperamental, impatient, testy, short-tempered, vindictive, vitriolic, or spiteful. Rather, he is composed, patient, deliberate, calculating, mild-tempered, accommodating, nigh-impossible to anger, charming, humorous, charismatic, and affable. However, he is also sadistic, pitiless, duplicitous, a master manipulator, capable of astonishing cruelty, and armed with cunning that bests even archdevils and demon princes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pretty much everyone hates Sorhan. He is opposed by the Phoenic crown, the [[Sanctuary]], the Saphora, and the Hadina; the latter&#039;s leader, Salysa Aidani, is one of his fiercest opponents. He is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], Azaphiel, Hyetta, Valaris, and Hasinsa; the entire Seuvian pantheon; [[Torm]], [[Raha]], and all of [[Celestia]]; [[Azenhar]] and all of Jalidia; and the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Kazali]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is hated by his children [[Nico]] and [[Seena]]. He has groomed two of his other children, [[Maz Morin]] and [[Jezra Dassari]], into supporting him. He also fathered [[Alicia]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Quotes about Sorhan ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;[[Raysh]] is an evil man. My father is evil itself.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Nico, the son of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;My father was not what you would expect. Many Casirists are impatient, impulsive, aimless, but my father is patient, deliberate, calculating, calm. He is a man of humor, wit, charm, and sensuality. None love him more than women.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan took everything from me. And when I thought there was nothing left to take from me, he took even more.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Seena, the daughter of Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;All men know and fear Sorhan.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Captain Veck, a Seuvian Azaphielite&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;Sorhan is to Raysh as the tiger is to the wild dog.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
—Sorhan in the guise of Greymark, about himself&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is one of the most enigmatic and feared men in the history of Marillia; his very name invokes terror as far as the Abyss, the City of Brass, and the Nine Hells themselves. Theories about him abound: he has variously been called a [[prophet]] of [[Casir]], a son of Casir, and an [[avatar]] of Casir. [[Jassar|King Jassar]] believes he does not exist and is a fiction constructed by [[Mortzopholus]]. [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salysa Aidani]] of the [[Hadina]] famously declared him the most dangerous man alive.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is the chief architect of the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Activities ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is a highly enigmatic figure, not because of a lack of information about him, but rather because of an overabundance of it. There are ceaseless mutually contradictory reports about his activities all over [[Rhys]]. (For example, in August 494, it was reported that Sorhan was killed in Marnova, but only days later, he was spotted in Lozanre, where he assassinated Crown Princess Avaria.) Because of this seemingly senseless jumble of reports and sightings, some—including [[Jassar|King Jassar]] himself—have argued Sorhan does not even exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, it&#039;s worth noting his alleged activities, so here they are.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pre-494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 482, during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], reports begin spreading that one of the architects of the Black Terror, the Casiric High Priest Kithar, was stabbed nineteen times by an up-and-coming Casiric sorcerer named Sorhan and his followers. According to [[Nico]], this is the same year when his father (Sorhan) murdered his mother. Both King Jassar and [[Salysa Aidani|Uma Salsya Aidani]] declare that Kithar had indeed been killed and that the Black Terror is over. At the same time, the Uma announces that Sorhan has been elevated to high priest and that he is the most dangerous man alive. Some critics accuse her of fearmongering.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Note that the Black Terror was a 26-year-long period in which the entire country was terrorized by an unprecedented alliance between all three of Casir&#039;s high priests. In 481, one of those high priests was executed, and the following year, Sorhan murdered another one of those high priests. So when Salysa Aidani said &amp;quot;actually guys, this isn&#039;t so good: this Sorhan guy is 10x worse than any Casirist I&#039;ve ever seen in my 8-bajillion-year-long life,&amp;quot; people didn&#039;t want to hear it. They just wanted to celebrate the end of the Black Terror.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 490, during an armistice in the Eighth Occaria, a well-loved Hestati captain is assassinated by Casirists in broad daylight in the streets of Alicantian-occupied Gazan. The [[Hestati]] immediately accuse Sorhan of leading the assassination. Peace talks between the belligerents break down, and the [[Eighth Occaria]] resumes shortly after.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== 494 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The year 494 has been a big one for Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 10 August 494, the Lucian population of Marnova, newly annexed by Alicante, is slaughtered. [[Raysh|Lord Raysh]] declares it was done by Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 12 August 494, after weeks of unrest, Sorhan leads a slave revolt in Troyosha.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 15 August 494, the city government of Troyosha is toppled. Sorhan initiates a massive purge of merchants, slave masters, and nobility.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 16 August 494, during the harvest banquet in Lozanre, Casirists led by a figure later identified as Sorhan commandeer a naval airship and steer it towards the prince&#039;s palace. They open fire on a crowd of Phoenic nobles and Alicantian diplomats. The crown later announces that Crown Princess Avaria was among those murdered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A figure dressed in the garb of a ra of Ogissia is seen attending a ball in the City of Brass hosted by the jinn lord Marjaid. He claimed to be Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over in Seuvia, according to the claims of many, Sorhan has chained the [[Sevani|gods of the Seuvians]], thereby nullifying the powers of Seuvian clerics. Soon after, an exceedingly powerful arcanist by the name of Faulkwin arrives in the Seuvian town of Thome to aid the Pale Brigade in taking down Kripnak, a servant of Sorhan and the self-proclaimed prophet of [[Sorn]]. Lazarus Steele recognizes him as Wallen, a Zehirite who slaughtered an entire Ayan temple and was declared by his followers to be Sorhan. It is unclear why on earth Sorhan would help the Pale Brigade kill his own officer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, it has been reported numerous times that he has been murdered or executed.&lt;br /&gt;
It is extremely difficult to&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Sorhan&#039;s many guises (and the uncertainty &#039;&#039;that he even exists&#039;&#039;), it is extremely difficult to keep track of his activities. It is never clear if a report about his activities is &amp;quot;really him,&amp;quot; an imitator, or a servant of his masquerading as him. Nevertheless, here are some of the reports of his activities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
---&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Powers ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is exceedingly difficult to say what powers Sorhan has and doesn&#039;t have, since we don&#039;t know for sure who he is or if he even exists. It could be the case that every person claiming to be &amp;quot;Sorhan&amp;quot; is a completely different person. However, assuming there is indeed a person named Sorhan, here are some of his reported powers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the bink Koley, Sorhan is the most powerful [[dream magic|dream magician]] in Marillia. Certainly, someone has been manipulating the dreams of the [[Pale Brigade]] masterfully.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be a master swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be an extraordinarily powerful necromancer. He has a vast population of undead performing manual labor in and around Troyosha. He is also capable of constructing and utilizing [[dread rings of power]]—a remarkable necromantic feat. He also seems to be able to return from the dead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan seems to be able to summon and control demons and evil [[jinn]]. He brought a balor to its knees with no more than a flick of the wrist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is not exactly a popular guy. Pretty much everyone hates him, including virtually all of Phoena&#039;s Vaishans and Mishraists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Salysa Aidani]], the Uma of the [[Hadina]], is a fierce opponent of Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Raysh]] hates Sorhan, mainly because he believes Sorhan sabotaged peace talks between Alicante and Phoena during the Eighth Occaria, which indirectly led to the death of Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Nico]] claims to be Sorhan&#039;s son. He despises his father for murdering his mother. Assuming he&#039;s telling the truth (and is correct), this would indicate Sorhan was married at least once.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alicia]] hates Sorhan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Sanctuary]] opposes Sorhan and would love to see him nailed to a cross.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the [[bink]] Koley, Sorhan was once a student of the most powerful dream magician in Marillia: Aveserro. Sorhan murdered his master in his sleep. Aveserro&#039;s daughter, Viola, did not take kindly to this, to say the least.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan is opposed by the archdevils [[Asmodeus]], [[Azaphiel]], [[Hyetta]], [[Valaris]], [[Hasinsa]], and [[Calo]]; by the jinn lords [[Marjaid]] and [[Azenhar]]; the god [[Torm]]; and the angel [[Colwyn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is unclear what Nyssa thinks of Sorhan&#039;s &amp;quot;new gospel&amp;quot; (i.e., that she and Casir are one and the same deity). At the very least, the fact that [[Arkhan|Arkhan the Godslayer]] forged a tenuous pact with him suggests she at least thinks Sorhan may be useful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sorhan&#039;s three highest-ranking lieutenants are the necromancer Maz Morin, the Alicantian politician Rico Valenzo, and the vampire lord Thurik Zayhar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yadeen Azaro was once Sorhan&#039;s most trusted disciple, right up until the moment Sorhan opened his guts with a dagger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although he should be opposed by Mortzopholus, who is patronizing Raysh, according to Lazarus Steele Sorhan collaborated with Mortzopholus to take down a large Ayan temple in Seuvia.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;King Jassar Ymladi&#039;&#039;&#039; is the current King of Phoena and High Priest of the [[Saphora]]. He ascended to the throne during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]], which he helped to end by executing the Casiric High Priest Rayman. He also led Phoena through the [[Eighth Occaria]] and [[Shirka&#039;s Rebellion|Ramal Shirka&#039;s rebellion]]. Now he reigns amidst a new crisis: the [[Terrors|Red Terror]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the assassination of his only child, Princess Avaria, Jassar&#039;s heir presumptive is his brother, Prince Hakir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unbeknownst to the world, King Jassar was possessed by the archdevil [[Calo]] for much of the autumn of 494.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
King Jassar is the grandson of King Uthayn IV and the son of King Uthayn V. He has only two siblings who survived to adulthood: Prince Hakir and Princess Aysa. Aysa married the commoner [[Raysh]], making Raysh the King&#039;s brother-in-law. Aysa and her daughter Mayley were killed by the [[Alicantian Empire]] during the [[Eighth Occaria]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jassar&#039;s wife is the noblewoman Japhina Huwari. The couple had only one child who survived to adulthood, Princess Avaria; however, Avaria was murdered by her uncle Raysh on 16 August 494, in an attempt to fulfill the [[Marnova prophecy]].&lt;br /&gt;

King Jassar is the grandson of King Uthayn IV and the son of King Uthayn V. Nearly the entire Ymladi dynasty was slaughtered on the Day of the Black Hands, in 456, when Jassar was seven years old, giving him a lifelong hatred of Casirists.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;This page is under heavy renovations due to recent events in [[Sins of the Past]].&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Raysh&#039;&#039;&#039; (467–494) was a Phoenic statesman, military commander, and member of the Ymladi royal family by marriage. A war hero of the [[Eighth Occaria]] and a popular figure in Phoenic politics, he was, unbeknownst to the public, the true identity of the occultist and [[Casiric Church|Casiric High Priest]] &#039;&#039;&#039;Zehr&#039;&#039;&#039; (Phoenic: زيحر &#039;&#039;Zeḥr&#039;&#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh is of humble birth. He trained at a military academy for three years, married the princess (King Jassar&#039;s sister), and fought in the Eighth Occaria, for which he is celebrated as a war hero. Sometime during the second phase of the war, Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter were killed by the [[Hestati]]. Raysh entered a dark spiral, gave himself over to the god [[Casir]], developed an alter ego as &amp;quot;Zehr,&amp;quot; and in a short amount of time, became one of the Casiric Church&#039;s three high priests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh is the brother-in-law of King Jassar and Prince Hakir. He was married to their sister. He had a daughter, who along with her mother was killed by the [[Alicantian Empire]] during the [[Eighth Occaria]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh despises [[Sorhan]], largely because Sorhan sabotaged peace negotiations between Phoena and the Alicantian Empire during the Spring Peace, thereby ushering in the second and far bloodier phase of the [[Eighth Occaria]], during which Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter were killed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh is under the tutelage of [[Mortzopholus]], the most senior of the high priests of Casir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although [[Azaphiel]] opposes Raysh, the archdevil has expressed admiration for him.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Raysh&#039;&#039;&#039; (467–494) was a Phoenic statesman, military commander, and member of the Ymladi royal family by marriage. A war hero of the [[Eighth Occaria]] and a popular figure in Phoenic politics, he was, unbeknownst to the public, the true identity of the occultist and [[Casiric Church|Casiric High Priest]] &#039;&#039;&#039;Zehr&#039;&#039;&#039; (Phoenic: زيحر &#039;&#039;Zeḥr&#039;&#039;).&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Life ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh is of humble birth. He trained at a military academy for three years, married the princess (King Jassar&#039;s sister), and fought in the Eighth Occaria, for which he is celebrated as a war hero. Sometime during the second phase of the war, Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter were killed by the [[Hestati]]. Raysh entered a dark spiral, gave himself over to the god [[Casir]], developed an alter ego as &amp;quot;Zehr,&amp;quot; and in a short amount of time, became one of the Casiric Church&#039;s three high priests.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Relationships ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh is the brother-in-law of King Jassar and Prince Hakir. He was married to their sister. He had a daughter, who along with her mother was killed by the [[Alicantian Empire]] during the [[Eighth Occaria]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh despises [[Sorhan]], largely because Sorhan sabotaged peace negotiations between Phoena and the Alicantian Empire during the Spring Peace, thereby ushering in the second and far bloodier phase of the [[Eighth Occaria]], during which Raysh&#039;s wife and daughter were killed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Raysh is under the tutelage of [[Mortzopholus]], the most senior of the high priests of Casir.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although [[Azaphiel]] opposes Raysh, the archdevil has expressed admiration for him.&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;Casiric Church&#039;&#039;&#039; is a large, decentralized religious institution based in Phoena dedicated to the worship of [[Casir]], the [[Saphorism|Phoenic god]] of the desert.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although lawless, volatile, and tumultuous, like the [[Abyss]] there is, paradoxically, a strange semblance of order in the Church. It is structured as an extremely unstable pyramid topped by three high priests. Currently, the three are (in descending order of seniority): [[Mortzopholus]], [[Sorhan]], and [[Raysh|Zehr]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Known members ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Maz Morin, one of Sorhan&#039;s three war chiefs and his second-in-command, having replaced Yadeen Azaro.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mortzopholus&lt;br /&gt;
* Rico Valenzo, one of Sorhan&#039;s three war chiefs. An Alicantian.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sorhan&lt;br /&gt;
* Thurik Zayhar, one of Sorhan&#039;s three war chiefs.&lt;br /&gt;
* Zehr&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Leadership ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historically, the Church has been led by three high priests. This is not a rule; there is no official process for selecting a new high priest, nor for removing one. At times, more than three people have claimed to be high priests, and at other times, there have been fewer than three. One becomes high priest simply by being recognized as high priest. This often occurs by assassinating a current high priest or being recognized by another high priest or other major religious figure. For example, according to Nico, Sorhan became high priest by assassinating the High Priest Kithar and ritually murdering his own wife, thereby earning recognition from [[Mortzopholus]]. Soon after, Casirists across Phoena recognized Sorhan&#039;s ascension, and his status was cemented when Salysa Aidani, Uma of the Hadina, recognized him.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;It was a by-product of her declaring him the greatest threat to the Hadina and &amp;quot;the most dangerous man alive.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The current high priests are Mortzopholus, who is most senior and has been a high priest for decades; Sorhan, who became a high priest after assassinating Kithar and being recognized by Mortzopholus; and Zehr, who became high priest during the last years of the Eighth Occaria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== List of high priests ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Faywaz, executed in 454 by King Uthayn IV&lt;br /&gt;
* Rayman, a high priest during the [[Terrors|Black Terror]]. Executed by King Jassar in 481.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kithar, the high priest preceding Sorhan. Assassinated by Sorhan and his followers in 482.&lt;br /&gt;
* Zehr. Became high priest circa the year 492, was killed in 494 by the [[Pale Brigade]].&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039;: Mortzopholus, most senior of the current high priests&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Current&#039;&#039;&#039;: Sorhan, who became high priest in 482&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;
== Casirism ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The theology of the Casiric Church is sometimes described as &#039;&amp;quot;Casirism&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nature of Casirism varies greatly, depending on the time, place, and practitioner.&lt;br /&gt;

&#039;&#039;&#039;Hayzar&#039;&#039;&#039; is an [[archdevil]] who claimed to be a [[Lucianus|Lucian]] [[angel]] who claimed to be a [[Hestati]] captain named &#039;&#039;&#039;Colwyn&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Hayzar himself, he was born a mortal man in [[Marillia]] some time in the past. He lived a virtuous life and ascended to [[Celestia]] as a [[celestial]] upon death. Sometime later, he was deployed to defend a city in [[Marillia]] from a demonic invasion; he saved tens of millions of people by sacrificing a city of a quarter-million people. For this, he was dragged in chains to a court in Celestia. After attempting to attack the judges, he was hurled into [[Avernus]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hayzar roasted in a pit for centuries before finally crawling out and being taken to the front lines of the Blood War. He distinguished himself on the battlefield, and rose through the ranks of the infernal hierarchy. Eventually, he was given the rank of [[archdevil]].&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
