Gour-Ithô

Gour Ito was a Variag-Lord and an ally of Parnelion Sey.Playing upon his keepers' needs and beliefs, Parnelion convinced the Variag Lord Gour Ito that he could aid the Variag interests among the Ahar upon his release. Gour agreed and sent Parnelion home in hope that the twenty-one year-old bard would sway his brethren to the Variag cause. It was a mistake that cost the Variags their holdings east of the Numahar and eventually resulted in Gour Ito's execution.Pamelion returned home, sought aid from the storytellers, the priestly loremasters of the Ahar, quickly  distancing  himself from the Variag and Chey cause. Gour and his Chey  allies  became incensed  and  ordered Pamelion's capture. This warrant only served to instill the bard with an aura of legitimacy. Ahar allegiance and pride focused on his narrow shoulders, Parnelion set about uniting his fellow bards and he developed a powerful and knowledgeable network that transcended the traditional tribal boundaries. Eleven years after returning home, at the age of thirty-two, Pamelion Sey came out of his refuge at the Red Holes and led his people in an uprising that swept the Chey out of Ahar territory. The Ahar tribes united as the Kargagis Ahar for the first time in fifteen hundred years and invaded Chey Sart with utter fury. Pamelion's warlord and lieutenant, Alafar Mem, led his hard-riding army to victory,  crushing a combined army of Chey horsemen and Variag infantry at the Grass Tombs.
