Gaius I The first Shahraam of Quarsus is Gaius I, a powerful noble and warlord in his own right from the lands of Eelia. He was slated to ascend to the Ivory Throne of Eelia but was usurped by a political coup lead by Quintas Maximus and following a failed attempt to retake the throne as was his right he fled to Quarsus to avoid persecution and established a government there. Gaius I in known as a dynamic and complex man, both deeply creative and edifying as well as brutally violent in his management and building of the Nation. Gaius I is a well read, highly educated, well-traveled and deeply curious man of the world who has taken what seems to have been the best ideas from all the various lands and philosophies that he has been exposed to and infused them into the culture of Quarsus, by force at times. Gaius I most treasured and sought after artisans is by far architects and gardeners as his city building is legendary and his incorporation of gardens is equally so.
