Osorkon

Description
Osorkon was the Ransar (leader) of the city-state of Innarlith for a period in the mid-14th century DR. He began the project to build a canal that would connect the Lake of Steam to the Sea of Fallen Stars. He was deposed and assassinated by Senator Salatis, who became the new Ransar after him.

Possessions
He had possession of a large number of crystal balls in his office in the Palace of Many Spires, which he used to spy on people throughout Innarlith. He also possessed a electric mace in his office too that he was proficient with.

Activities
Osorkon hosted Midsummer revels (parties) in the second quarter of Innarlith for the elite of the city. He sometime didn't attend the state ceremonies for when new senators were sworn into office.

Relationships
Osorkon had respect for the shipbuilder Fharaud even after the latter was disgraced following an accident with the Everwind, a ship that broke up in a portal before it could be delivered to its customer.

History
Osorkon engaged in several building projects during his tenure as the city-state's Ransar. He constructed the Nagaflow Keep on the southern edge of the Nagaflow in 1361 DR in order to keep a closer eye on the city's north. In 1363 DR he ordered the construction of an additional spire to the Palace of Many Spires in order to house visiting foreign dignitaries to the city. In 1364 DR he received a letter of recommendation from Fharaud that mentioned Ivar Devorast and the latter's idea to build a canal from the Lake of Steam to the Nagaflow, which would thus connect the Sea of Fallen Stars to the Oceans of Toril. Osorkon took an interest in the idea and funded Devorast to begin work on construction of the canal.

Under the influence of the clandestine Red Wizard Marek Rymüt, the city's elite turned against Osorkon after this project commenced. Thay, which had made much revenue from magically transporting ships and cargo from the Sea of Fallen Stars to the Oceans of Toril, stood to lose much if this canal was completed. Rymut made an alliance with Senator Salatis, who he supplied with an army of black firedrakes in order to overthrow Osorkon. This occurred in 1365 DR, when Salatis launched a coup to overthrow him that ended with a battle in the Ransar's office between black firedrakes polymorphed into human form and Osorkon with his bodyguards. Osorkon succeeded in killing one of the drakes with his electric mace before he was killed by them with their acid breathweapon. Salatis then took over as the new Ransar of Innarlith.
