Ehn’k’du, the Law-giver
As long as there have been quar upon the face of Alwyd, there have been
warlords and generals striving to lead them. The memories of some have
lasted longer than others, but no matter how grand, eventually all quar
turn to dust, and their names and deeds blow away. Perhaps the lone
exception to this rule is Ehn’k’du, an ancient warrior from long
before the first cities were built around Lake Morandi. His statue
adorns almost every town and village square across Alwyd, no matter what the
current national mood or affiliation may be. All decent quar revere the
memory of Ehn'k'du second only to that of their own ancestors.
The Law-giver’s exact lineage is long lost, though every First Family
claims him as their progenitor. What is known about him, and is the
grounds for his edification, is the Law of War he created. The Code of
Ehn’k’du gives all civilized quar their guidelines for the resolution
of conflict, both large and small, and clarifies what is and is not
acceptable in the pursuits of war, what targets are tolerable, and how
the vanquished are to be treated. It is the Code of Ehn’k’du that has
kept the quar of Alwyd from utterly destroying their very society, and is
one of the core tenets of the Royalist opposition to Alykinder’s
Crusade, which they view as flaunting the code, when not openly violating
it.
