Welcome!

For the Glory!
The Crusades, great battles to regain the Holy Land for those that believed in it.
In the last crusade the powerful Sultan Al-Kamil agreed to an eight year peace with Europe. This allowed Christians to rule over most of Jerusalem, while the Muslims were given control of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aksa mosque. Many of the Muslims though were not happy with Al-Kamil for giving up control of Jerusalem and plot against the kindly king ellected by the European rulers.
Little do the English and Muslims know that armies are being ammassed to ride against them, with a full intent on attacking and sacking the holiest city on earth. The Ayyubids invited the Khwarezmian clans to plot with them in an idea of overthrowing the city.

` run Hisham ibn Nasir Ala’ al din, run
" Allah does not impose upon any soul a duty but to the extent of its ability "


` O divine Mediator,
O Allah,

I'm looking for a GIRL who goes by the name of BRIELLE. SHE is often seen with NO ONE and comes from CENTRAL USA. If you see them could you tell them after FIVE years, we're still going For the Glory?

` look upon those zealous souls,

Surely you are the Praiseworthy, the Glorious,
    NAME . Hisham ibn Nasir Ala’ al din
    NICKNAME . No one would be disrespectful enough to give him one
    AGE & DATE OF BIRTH . 38 . June 1202
    TITLE . Amir
    FACE CLAIM . Oded Fehr

` and to turn away Thine eyes from our vices,
I ask You for the best the day has to offer....
    TATTOOS & PIERCINGS . None, they wouldn’t be fitting of a man of his status
    DISTINGUISHING FEATURES . Hisham always wears the best clothes and walks around with the posture of a man who grew up in the military. His long and curly black hair is usually tied back in a tight pony tail and his facial hair is always neatly trimmed. He is a large man, tall and muscular with strong features and most would consider him handsome.
    PHYSICAL FLAWS He has a battle wound on his left leg that never quite healed and sometimes causes him to limp if it is being particularly bothersome that day. His nose is also slightly crooked after being broken in a fist fight that was caused by Hisham trying to rescue a slave girl from her abusive master.

` who are inspired by the spirit of faith,

We have awoken, and all of creation has awoken,
    LIKES . horses, prayer, archery, hunting, spending time with his family, reading and writing poetry
    DISLIKES . being inferior to infidels, senseless fighting, unveiled women, sound of church bells
    STRENGTHS . smooth talker, good listener and just decision maker, excellent archer, intelligent
    WEAKNESSES . hot headed, bad temper, easily jealous, ambitious to the point of foolishness
    GOALS . to return Jerusalem to the hands of the Muslims and have many sons to carry on his family name
    FEARS . to die childless and without leaving a lasting legacy
    SECRETS . has had Christian lovers in the past
    OVERALL . [i]Hisham is usually a quiet and observant man until something ignites his temper and pushes him to lash out with a tongue whose words cut worse than knives. He is a brilliant man both in government and on the battle field and is a formidable foe to anyone who dares to cross him. While he is usually just when it comes to decision making, when he is in one of his moods he’s not above killing a man without a second thought. He enjoys having the reputation of being a strong, unwavering leader. It forces his people to stay in line which in turn, keeps the city in peace.

    The amir is fiercely loyal to those who are lucky enough to earn his respect and so far the only person who has been able to do that in Jerusalem is his wife. While their marriage had been more of a business deal than a romantic affair, he has grown to love her with a fiery passion he normally reserves for battle and loves composing poetry about her in his spare time. His lack of a male heir, however, is beginning to wear on his nerves and he is currently in the market for wife number two. His first will always be his favorite but a man needs sons to carry on his family name and if she doesn’t become pregnant soon, he will have no choice but to take another. He has his eyes set on a woman from the royal family provided, of course, that she convert to Islam before the wedding.

    In his free time, Hisham enjoys poetry and hunting. The library in his home houses thousands of volumes and he has read the vast majority of them cover to cover. His hunting skills are unrivaled in Jerusalem if not the entire known world and he never fails to miss a shot. As a leader, he tends to rule with an iron fist but also has a softer side to him too. He always goes to morning prayer in the public mosque to be seen by the public and makes it a point to be the one handing out alms to the poor every day.

` Remember Thy mercies of old,
forgive and have mercy on him,
    BIRTHPLACE Damascus, Syria
    CURRENT LOCATION . current Muslim ruler of Jerusalem, Israel
    IMEDIATE FAMILY . Mother: Samar Ala’ al din
    Father: Nasir ibn Yusuf Ala’ al din
    PETS A song bird named Hala, his horse Salil, and a hunting falcon named Jinn
    OTHER FAMILY His wife, yet to be named

    HISTORY . Born to a poor merchant and his wife in Damascus, Hisham knew from an early age that the only way he would ever move up in society would be by joining the military. His father traded mostly in weapons and the future amir learned how to hold a sword before he could even walk. Seeing his son’s potential to be a soldier, Nasir Ala’ al din pooled together all his savings to hire him a weapons instructor who spent hours every day training the boy to use a variety of different arms. As soon as he was old enough, he joined the army and spent most of his young adult life traveling across the empire and fighting wherever the caliph sent him.

    Because of his natural ability, Hisham quickly moved through the ranks and earned the title of amir, or general. No longer a lowly soldier, he was now able to lead his own campaigns and became a hero during the earliest campaigns. But then misfortune struck and he was gravely wounded in the last battle he would ever fight. A crusader’s lance went right through his leg and he would have bled to death if not for the blessing of Allah who miraculously healed him before he could reach the gardens of paradise. After that, he was no longer able to fight in the wars against the Christians but because of his lifetime of service to the caliph, he was granted the governorship of Jerusalem even though it is currently under Christian rule.

    While the army had always been his calling, Hisham stayed true to his merchant roots and dabbled in business whenever he had the time and resources to do so. He invested in a trading caravan a few years before becoming the governor of Jerusalem and as part of his agreement with the caravan leader, married his eldest daughter. It was a marriage of convenience at the time but he had always been fond of the girl and even grew to love her as time went on. Because of his status in society, he decided he had the means to take a second wife and in a few short months after arriving in Jerusalem, gained the reputation of becoming one of the city’s most eligible bachelors.

` vexations waste us,
Help us to hold fast all together to Your path,
    ANYTHING ELSE . No smile.gif
    MEMBER TITLE . fortune favors the brave
    READ THE RULES . <3

    RP SAMPLE . Can I use a post from a different site? If not, let me know and I’ll write one for Hisham
QUOTE
Stepping down from the quarter deck, Captain Nagra allowed himself to take a moment to close his eyes and savor the familiar sounds and smells of the sea one last time before leaving his ship for the city. The gentle sound of rocking waves was sweeter than his mother’s old lullabies and the salty smell on the air was more pleasing than the perfume of any lover. But unlike those kind women from his past, the sea was a cruel mistress and the comfort she offered the seasoned sailor was only an illusion. He liked to think she was the source of his greatest pleasure but in reality, she was the cause of his greatest pain.

Sure, she allowed him to leave her for a few days at a time, to spend his hard earned gold and silver in whatever port she brought him to and to share wild tales of his adventures with anyone who would listen. But as soon as his stay on land started to become more permanent or he tried to move further away from the coast, her jealously boiled over and she began to play with his mind. At first, her warning was subtle enough, giving Sinbad amble time to be a good boy and come back to her. He’d catch a glimpse of something in the market that reminded him of one of his many voyages or smell something that brought back memories of far away lands that were only reachable by sea. Through these, his mistress reminded him of the good times they had together and sometimes he would give in immediately and return to his ship like a good slave. But there were other times, usually after a particularly dangerous adventure, when the captain would try to fight back. In one instance he even tried to give up sailing all together to go back to his village in hopes of finding a wife and starting a proper family but that invoked the Sea’s rage so badly that he knew it would be a long time before he attempted such foolery again. While he was awake, she would make his wanderlust so strong that it was impossible to satisfy his other desires. Food tasted like ash in his mouth, wine turned to water, and there wasn’t a woman in the world that could please him. At night, she would try a different approach, controlling his dreams and begging him to come back with soft lover’s whispers. “Come back, Sinbad. Just one more adventure, my sailor, just one more….”

After a few days of this torture, Sinbad would return to The Voyager like a wounded dog with his tail between his legs, calling for all his sailors and setting off for yet another fantastical voyage. Now, having just completed his seventh and probably greatest yet, he was older and wiser and knew better than to play games with the sea. He just wanted a few fun days in port before getting back to work and as he descended the gangplank, he said a tender goodbye to his mistress with promises to return soon. He knew that she wouldn’t let him rest until there were no adventures left, until every monster that haunted her depths was slain and every damsel in distress was rescued. There was no use in fighting it anymore but he wouldn’t bother himself with those thoughts until it he returned to his ship. Right now, he had a large handful of gold dinars burning a hole in his pocket and he was in the mood for entertainment
