Saamir, of the Ruqašah family, was a Bulwari adventurer. Born in 1478 in the city of Bulwar, he spent his youth collecting various artifacts during expeditions around Bulwar that made him famous and rich. Having heard about the rediscovery of Aelantir, he embarked West to the Ruined Sea in search of more artifacts and wealth. He ruled the Republic of Saamiršes in Aelantir until his retirement in 1525 when he decided to embark on a last expedition to the Reapers' Coast where he died in the Bone Citadel in 1527. He left a strong legacy in the country he had ruled, with the country and the capital being named after him.
Life in Bulwar[]
Saamir was a scion of the Ruqasah family, and being a member (although distant) of the Twelve, he had the best education the region could provide. The Ruqasah were known for their attraction to ancient knowledge and Saamir set out at a young age to become a relic hunter. After a few successful expeditions he even established his own bazaar in the city of Bulwar. Among the most notorious adventures he took part on were the discovery of a temple of the Eclipse sect, the discovery of the Lost Ark of the God-King Irsakar the Benevolent, the Raid on the Serpent's Gift alongside Sun-Riders Centaurs, the dig of the legionary camp of Kalib which revealed a Golden phoenix from the Jexisian Legions and the exploration of the tumb of Darastarion where he recovered the famed crown of Dalarand lost during the Second Cinder War.
