| abstract | - The son of King Koreen, when he was about to be born in 1323 the palace was attacked by a group of Judges of Yahvo, along with Pento warriors. Koreen ordered his family out of the palace, as it was quickly being overtaken, and together they traveled to the other side of the city where a special Linking Book was waiting for them. While traveling through the King's Arch, rumors say, Ahlsendar was born. He was living in secret on a Private Age with his mother. He was 29 when his father was killed. His uncle informed him of his father's death and apparently suggested him to remain there instead of immediately joining the city of D'ni. The Judges (with the Pento) claimed control of the D'ni government after the death of the King and began to move into other Ages. Ahlsendar was kept updated by a few advisers while trying to formulate a plan for the Pento War that was now raging in his city. Meanwhile his Uncle, who was a member of the Guild of Linguists, was translating much of the Pento language and learning as much as he could about them. Ahlsendar's waiting paid off: the Judges had killed the leader of the Pento for fear that he was becoming more powerful and out of control. As he had not declared an heir, his two sons fought for the throne and led to a civil war, leaving the Judges empty handed. Their forces were spread out to other Ages and no longer fortified in the city. Meanwhile the public felt as though the prophecies were coming to fruition. Within 15 weeks after the death of his father, Ahlsendar formed a small force and entered the city (for the first time in his life) and was joined by followers. He sailed directly through the Arch to the Ae'gura Palace which he reclaimed with relative ease. Immediately, he established "safe-zones" and eventually informed the Pento that he wished to begin negotiations with the Pento warrior Mekarr. He allied with Mekarr against his brother Timaue if, in return, they would return to their home peacefully, and agreed to write for them an Age. In 1376 Ahlsendar led a force to the Pento Age. In the Battle of the Great King, Ahlsendar led the defeat of Timaue and total victory for D'ni. Mekarr turned over two leaders of the Judges and Ahlsendar found the other three in the city. Some demanded their execution, but Ahlsendar refused: all five were sent to Prison Ages, and the Linking Books burned.
