Erlian Surzuir was the last Sun Elf king of Azka-Sur, who died in 1444 protecting Hašr refugees fleeing the advance of the Zokka pack.
His death would provoke a succession crisis as he was last of the Surzuir family. The crisis was only resolved when his Human advisor, Mardint took power in the Akalate as Mardint szel-Sur, the first Human to reign independently since the conquest of Jaher.
He would remain an important hero in the Upper Suran region, many refugees from the Hasr plain calling themselves Erlian-natu, 'the people of Erlian' to commemorate his deeds and sacrifice.
