Arakhas

Arakhas (or Arachas), also known as Autolykos (or Autolycus), was a Kyonian noble and general who led his people in their exodus from Quenyar, conquered and unified Westcrowns and Eastcrowns, discovered and mastered Warcraft, and founded the Tyrmeidian Imperium, which he ruled as its first imperator from X to Y.

Autolykos's youth coincided with the fabled Warping of the West, during which the Elvish Empire's expansionist ambitions flooded Central Quenyar, and their mages actually flooded the deserts, much as they had done with the homeland of the Marsh Trolls, , bringing about new river founts and redirecting existing ones as it suited their settlement plan and conquering the Sand Trolls.
