History
Origin
Harvam’s efforts to follow in his father Dolav’s footsteps seemed to be rewarded, as when he grew up it was almost impossible to tell one from the other, whether in appearance, personality or vocation.
Harvam was extremely proud to be the son of the leader of the Kamalar, the king’s golden royal guard. Just as his father was proud of his son for his honor, sense of duty and for having followed in his father’s footsteps, joining him among the Kamalar.
It was a surprise to everyone when King Jamast disbanded the guard shortly after news arrived of the dragon Gralgor’s death. When releasing his guards, the king told them to fight for what they thought was right, they swore to fight for the ruler, but that would no longer be something right to fight for. A few days later the king was killed, and it was an even greater surprise to learn that it was his son, Kenast, who killed him, and who had taken responsibility for his own father’s death to the entire kingdom in broad daylight. For, he said that his reign would not be based on lies. Donning his golden armor, Dolav took his shield and sword, which shone like valuable golden treasures, and challenged the now self-proclaimed Sole Pharaoh Kenast to a duel on the main street of the capital during the busiest and most crowded time. Completely devoid of dishonor and cowardice, Kenast accepted the challenge, because Dolav had served and protected his father for years with dedication and loyalty, this call to combat was a right that Kenast believed he had. The pharaoh dueled and killed Dolav in a fight as clear as the sky above them on that clear and hot day. Harvam saw it all, saw his father die at the hands of Kenast. He took the deceased’s sword and shield and roared as he challenged the Pharaoh, who refused, because, unlike Dolav, Harvam did not have the same determination as his father. Kenast refused because he knew in Harvam’s voice that he himself did not want that duel to happen. However, if he still wished to die, Kenast would grant him the honor of a quick death. The courage left Havam’s body at that moment, Kenast defeated him, and he didn’t even need a fight to do it. If his father couldn’t do it, how could he? Seeing that there would be no fight, Kenast turned around, but spoke to Harvam, who was holding his father’s body in his arms, before leaving.
“Your father was an honorable man. Never tarnish that. Be proud now and until the end of your days of the man who held you and who you hold now. Take him. Give him a proper burial.”
– Kenast, The One Pharaoh.
Harvam mourned at Dolav’s grave, and also apologized for not having had the courage to face the man who killed his father. But he promised that no matter how many battles it took for him to find the strength and courage to challenge Kenast, he would fight with everything he had in each one. No matter how strong the enemy, no matter how threatening and desperate the moment, Harvam vowed not to weaken anymore, he vowed not to stop fighting, never giving up a fight until the life left his body or that of his opponent. He spent the next few years fighting in the numerous revolts against Kenast that began due to the death of King Jamast and Dolav, until only his large warband remained among all those who tried to overthrow the pharaoh. He remembered the orders of the old king: to fight for what they believed was right. Even if this order was given to the Kamalar, of which his father was the leader, and he followed in his father’s footsteps, then he would also follow the orders given to him. A sense of duty along with the fame that Harvam heard about the man who killed the dragon, fame that made him very happy, made him swear loyalty and fight for Otes, the one he believed was capable of destroying Kenast.
