Final
From the Chronicles of Binder Isfendiyar Tal'Utel,
as penned by Feridun, scribe to the Pharoh Lohurasp
[sblock]Now when the two armies met, many and fierce were the combats waged between them, and blows were given and received, swords flashed, teeth gnashed, showers of arrows descended on all sides, and fell magics erupted on the battlefield.
The blood of brave men was shed like unto the shedding of rain from a black cloud by the hands of the fiend Apep and those who served it. Dire was the wailing among the army of Ra, their hearts torn with anguish, and their hands were crossed upon their breasts, they were as humble as slaves upon these three stormridden days.
They were smitten with great slaughter, and the number of their dead was past the counting. Apep rejoiced in his victory, and his heart shouted within him when he learned that the armies of Ra were drawn back from the Abyss and broken.
But Ra, when he learned it, was afflicted, and wept sore. The man-jet boat had been assailed by the great serpent Apep. Ra was defeated, and the man-jet cast adrift into the Styx days earlier. With no guide through the underworld realm of Apep, the man-jet set adrift on the Styx.
The Pharoh Lohurasp reigned in wisdom upon the crystal throne, and the armies were as wax under his hands. They came before Lohurasp, broken and defeated and Lohurasp was angry when he beheld them, and he remembered Apep from whom was sprung this evil, and he said,
"I marvel that you come before me; for while Ra languishes in the bondage of Apep,it beseeches us not to hold this war as ended, lest demons mock us with their tongues, and beset our kingdoms with their evil. It hath been told me that Ra is set adrift on the Styx, and that Apep and all his thralls are asailing the realm of man. I charge thee, deliver thy god."
The assembled choir debated on the manner to liberate Ra when Binder Isfendiyar stepped forward and said, "I am a servant of Ra, let him command his slave what he shall do."
And Lohurasp said, "Go forth."
Then Isfendiyar answered, "I go, but the road is not known to me."
And Lohurasp said, "An angel hath revealed it to me. Three roads lead unto the man-jet. One requires three months to traverse, but it is safe, and much pasture is found on its path. The second demands but a moon, yet it is a desert void of life. And the third asks but five days, but it is fraught with danger."
Then Isfendiyar said, "No man can die before his time is come. It behoveth a man of faith to choose ever the shortest path."
And Lohurasp said, "My army is yours. They will follow you to their end. Go then in faith, and I swear to thee, when thou hast done it, thy name shall be exalted in the land."
Now those who knew the dangers that were hidden in this path sought to deter him, but Isfendiyar would not listen to their voice. So he set forth with Lohurasp's army, and they marched until they came to the spot where the roads divided. Now it needed five stages to reach the manjet, and at each stage there lurked a danger. But Isfendiyar would not give ear to fear, and he set forth upon the road, and each day he overcame a danger, and each danger was greater than the last. On the first day he slew two raging wolves. On the second he laid low two evil demons that were clothed as maidens. On the third he overcame a dragon whose breath was poison. On the fourth day Isfendiyar slew a great magician who would have lured him into the paths of evil, and on the fifth he was nigh to have perished with his army in a deep snow that fell upon him through the might of the fiends. But he prayed unto Ra in his distress, and by the favor of the heavens the snow vanished from under his feet, but a flood of waters rose, but Isfendiyar overcame them also, and kneeled before Ra on the shore of the Styx.
Then they did as Ra desired. They returned and fought with swords and with arrows, with maces, and with fists, and with arcanr might and with divine right. Sore was the struggle, and a victory leaned unto neither side. They strove thus from the time of dawn until the sun had lengthened the shadows, and Apep was afraid lest the day should end in Ra's favour. Then Ra caught Apep in his arms and flung him upon the ground, that the torment of Ra would be avenged. Then Ra gave thanks unto Isfendiyar, and turned back unto the camp, bearing aloft Apep the defeated. The army of Ra, when they beheld it, set up a great shout, ut from the ranks of Apep there came the noise of wailing. And Ra was bowed down with anger, and he commanded the army should go forth and fall upon the army of Apep.
Now there was fought a battle such as men have not seen the like. The earth was covered with steel, arrows fell from the clouds like hail, the ground was torn with hoofs, magic fractured the landscape with mystical engeries and blood flowed like water upon the plains. The dead lay around in masses, and the feet of the horses could not stir because of them. Then Isfendiyar said to the chiefs of the army-
"Upon this field of vengeance, there will remain nought when the night is come save only the earth that turns, Ra, and his army."

Age: 32
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 150lb
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Shaved
Skin: Burnt Sienna
Appearance: Highly polished armour glints from under the cloak of the man that stands before you. When light shines across his face one can see the tattooed symbol of Ra on his cheeks and the odes to Ra on his shaved head. His sun darkened skin stands contrast to the sun blazed symbol of R which is worn firmly across his cest.
At his side is a heavy mace hanging from a good think leather cord, and ready for use. On some kind of sling, is a light crossbow that sits across his back.
A silver holy symbol of Ra rests on a good think chain with a small gold disk is worn around the neck and his fingers constantly work a strand prayer beads. Several small pouches, and some sort of small kits rest at his belt and a good sturdy pack sits nearby.
Background: Taking after his brother, Monitor Jai Tal’Utel, Isfendiyar Tal'Utel entered the faith. The younger of the pair, Isfendiyar watched his brother rise through the ranks of the clergy. When Jai chose the path of Monitor he left the monastery,forgoing the
ecclesiastical duties of the faith, focus on becoming a warpriest, battling the foes of light.
Isfendiyar however chose a different path. The path of Binder was more to his disposition. Where his brother has both the mentality and physicality of a war priest, Isfendiyar possessed a healing ability and the iron determination in facing the foes of light. It is for these reasons, Isfendiyar chose to focus his abilities on helping those who could not
help themselves.
While on a journey to aid a razed village, Isfendiyar and his entourage were attacked by the undead villagers and their creators. It was a trap, and though outnumbered, the undead fell to the prayers, faith, steeled determination and holy might of Ra. Many of Isfendiyar’s friends and compatriots died that day and it was at this point that Isfendiyar decided he would partake in the journey, as did his brother, and begin his life as an adventurer cleansing the world of those enemies of light. It is the path he follows to this day.
Personality:Binder Isfendiyar Tal'Utel is a pious cleric of Ra, high priest to the Pharoh Lohurasp. Raised within the confines of the temple of Ra he respects those of authority and listens to those within his Order although he is apt to follow his own calling when he deems it necessary. The war with Apep left him confident, sometimes overly so, of his abilities and he takes the responsibility of his positions, both a Binder of no small merit and a high priest to the Pharoh very seriously.
