Yam ibn Saud

Yam ibn Saud had somewhat dubious beginnings as a knight of the Silver Tree named Sir  Galan.  Traveling south, he abandoned the knighthood and committed himself to the principles of war.  His nature as a warrior gained him the name Yam ibn Saud which means "Son of  Saud", Saud being the god of War.    After conquering the Desert of Kantaar and claiming it for his own, Yam ibn Saud bent his will to the eventual take over of Ara'bya, now Azrael.  He was then quick to take control of Synibia and Amir.     His yearnings to learn more of the Art of War led him to the lands of Sukara where he studied and rose to the rank of Daimyo, ruling his own province there.  He later became Shogun of Kozakura.    In Azrael, Yam ibn Saud became recognized as a demigod, worshipped as a Power.   He soon rose to demigod status, become a true Power in fact, as well as in reputation.  Yam ibn Saud is the demigod of war.

 Mark van Dyk drew this picture of Yam ibn Saud on August 22, 1990.  I am very pleased to present this rare work here on my site.  Yam ibn Saud has been an influence on my world for well over a decade.
