I suppose that instead of PM'ing I'll just post it here, so that anybody else who cares can see what Ialu has done.

Ialu's life story:

-A mysterious being inserted its essence into a primitive woman. She gave birth to Ialu, who grew to adulthood within a few days.

-Ialu left the cave and began fighting off the local Dyun and Cimex that plagued the last vestiges of humanity. He discovered himself to have an affinity for fighting and to be almost invulnerable to conventional attacks.

-His inhuman strength meant that he gathered followers. Part of his nomadic group left, but he settled down with a significant portion of them and created a village.

-His village grew and they fortified it. Eventually he named his Creator-God the Mighty One, declared that his village would be called the Strong Tribe and would fight for and worship the Mighty One alone, and banned all other worship within his village.

-The Strong Tribe invented a new form of Wi and hunted dragons, using their hides to fashion armor.

-Ferghus sent an Arma Igna to the Strong Tribe. The strange being showed them the way of the forge and offered them a gift of many masterwork swords, but once the Arma Igna asked them to worship Ferghus they banished him. Though they do not use forges, they did keep the swords that he gave as gifts.

-Over the years other flocked to Ialu for protection. Some joined the Strong Tribe, but most settled nearby and became his vassals. The vassal villages have their owns chiefs, make use of blacksmithing, and are allowed to worship gods besides the Mighty One.

-The Dyun Champion, bearer of Vestec's Sword of Chaos, attacked the Strong Tribe. Though Ialu lost many hunters, he slew the champion and claimed its sword.

-Vestec himself spoke to Ialu, though he claimed to be the Mighty One. He ordered Ialu to travel to Garakai and challenge Viscardi.

-Unable to see through Vestec's facade, Ialu did as he was ordered and defeated Garakai's chieftain. From that point on he has had a tenuous control over Garakai and the North.

-Ferghus finally caught wind of Ialu and came to visit him in person. Ialu insulted the Forge God to his face and defied him, and for that he was cursed to never be able to wield a weapon again.
