Balsha

From Hârn
Jump to navigation Jump to search


Balsha (520-558 TR) was born to a common soldier of the Corani Empire in the Province of Rethem in 520, and was the most important religious personality in the history of Hârn. His preaching of Balshanism, his charismatic personality and the accuracy of his prophesies, won him a massive following. The emperor Medak had Balsha impaled in 558 but his martyrdom fostered the Balshan Jihad, a rebellion that had destroyed the Corani Empire in seven bloody years. This backlash to his death led to the establishment of the Theocracy of Tekhos in 568. Some have suggested that Balsha was a renegade Melderyni mage but this is unlikely.
