Arkan I ve Sherkoz

Arkan I Vahram ve Sherkoz (Middle Arashin: Arkana Vahram ve Sherkos), granted the title of "Khairota Arkhai (literally "Restorer of the World)" and posthumously referred to as Arkan Vakhet (Arkan the Great), was the first Emperor of the Sherkoz-led Second Empire of Ikhan and for a time the King of Misra. Born in a time of constant warfare across the Empire, he was said to be among the greatest duelists in Arashin history. While this claim is hard to prove, he is known to have been an avid duelist, eventually dying in such a duel in 1498. He was the last Arashin Emperor to die in combat.

Arkan is equally well-known as a patron of the arts and a military commander, however, as his campaigns brought the Empire as far west as the edge of the Ardean peninsula, although these lands would be progressively lost by his successors. During his reign, the "Arkani Walls" were built in Ikan, surrounding the old city. These walls continue to stand today, though large parts of them are now ruins after being damaged in an Air-Raid during the Great War.
