Barid Szel-Sur, first known as Baji of Pasiragha, was a Raheni prince and later Akal of Azka-Sur in Bulwar. Born in the nobility of the Dhenbasana plains, he saw the grandson of Harimar, Manava slowly reduce what Human power remained in the Raj. Following the promulgation of the Edict of Sardiphadin, Baji led a rebellion against the reinvented Caste system of the Harimaris but was eventually defeated. Following the ancient example of the Harimraj expedition to Azka-Sur, he and his supporters crossed the Salahad and arrived in Azka-Sur in 321.

His war elephants and veteran soldiers were welcomed by the local king, who saw this as an opportunity. He married his daughter to him and the prince converted to the Sun Cult, changing his name to Barid szel-Sur. From 325-333 he campaigned around Bulwar helped by his elephant force which was unknown in Bulwari warfare of the times. He eventually established tentative control over the entire region, human and gnoll alike, forging a shaky alliance with the harpies but his death would see the splintering of his kingdom.

It established the Azka-Suri tradition of the Akal being granted an elephant at his crowning as a sign of power.
