Sarise

Sarise grew up in Stenwood with her tribe of fellow centaurs, but she left at a young age in order to pursue her dream of becoming a warrior of great renown. Departing for Thenica, she joined the military and served for a number of years until one night she had a dream about her home being attacked.

Stirred by the dream, Sarise took a temporary leave to return to her tribe just in time to warn them of a possible attack from foreign invaders. Getting everyone away from the open, Sarise charged in and confronted the attackers - a horde of cyclopes led by four vengeful oni. Fueled by her rage, Sarise singlehandedly defeated the oni and trapped their spirits inside her greataxe, causing the remaining cyclopes to flee in fear. This feat of strength earned her the title "The Wildfury."

Inspired by her display, her fellow tribesmen returned with her to Thenica, many of whom even chose to enlist in the military after being inspired by her staunch defense of them.

Years later, Sarise would be approached by Sir Leon Einhard, the Khan of Grendra, with the news that he wanted her to replace him as Khan. After she endured the arduous labors of the ancients, Khan Leon stepped down and appointed Sarise as the new Khan of Grendra.
