Amir

Amir is one of the twin sons of Umirra the Pretender and his consort Marida -- the daughter of a water genie. Amir's mother died in childbirth and his father committed suicide as a result. His maternal grandfather, the genie gave him and his brother into the care of a tribe of men of Southrun. The infants were traded again and again as slaves until they came into the possession of a Barasin nobleman.

As he grew into adulthood, he began a conquest of neighboring tribes and peoples. Ultimately, he contested with his brother Bhamut for the love and hand of their sister Sekhat. While he was unsuccessful, his enmity with his brother eventually enveloped all of Southrun, except Barasa, into war.  

For his part Amir took mortal women and produced many offspring by each them. All of these offspring were immortal and extremely powerful -- gifted with many of the powers of their sire, but also given to all the failings and passions of their mothers.

Amir eventually withdrew, though some say that he was slain by a weapon of the dark elves. Either way he has left the temporal world in the hands of his volatile children. The sheer number of his offspring means that every tribe and family has its own preferred god or goddess, with most of the rest being benignly neglected.
