Nersei
"Nersei Proyas" Nersei Proyas is the Crown Prince of Conriya .

Appearance

As a Conriyan, Proyas has a dark complexion. He is not tall, but has a noble, impressive bearing nonetheless. Female characters call him "the handsome prince".

Personality

Proyas is a man desperate for faith, zealous in his Inrithi beliefs. This puts a strain on the relationship between him and his old mentor and father-figure, Achamian.

What Came Before

Proyas was a student of Drusas Achamian in his youth. The two shared a close bond, and Achamian loved him, but Proyas turned away from Achamian after becoming a devout follower of Inrithism. Xinemus was his swordsmanship tutor.

The Darkness That Comes Before

Proyas is a devoted follower of Maithanet, and he is present beside Maithanet as the Shriah announces the target of the Holy War . He recognizes Achamian when the Mandate sorcerer is crowd-surfed to Maithanet's side. He is outraged by the blasphemy in spite of his former devotion to Achamian. Afterwards, Maithanet brings him to witness the Tusk for the first time. Proyas joins the Holy War as one of its Great Names. leading his contingent of Conriyans. Upon first meeting Ikurei Conphas , the two men develop an instant rivalry and hatred for each other.

The Warrior-Prophet

Proyas marches with the Holy War leading his Conriyans. When Kellhus convinces Coithus Saubon to separate from the rest of the Holy War and take his Galeoth host to attack Gedea , Proyas angrily confronts Kellhus at Xinemus's fire. Onlookers are shocked by Proyas's disrespectful treatment of Kellhus. Before leaving in a huff, Proyas accuses Kellhus of dooming the Holy War.

The Judging Eye

Proyas is King of Conriya and one of the Exalt-Generals of the Great Ordeal.

The Great Ordeal

He is deeply hurt and puzzled when Kellhus confesses he is not a true prophet but is just a mad man. While he is experiencing emotional turmoil from this revelation, Kellhus drugs both their wine with chanv and has brutal sex with Proyas. Later he seeks out Coithus Saubon and in tears confesses the forced sodomy and shares Kellhus's confession. Proyas realizes his buggering may be a test as much for Saubon as for himself. Saubon convinces him that Kellhus is testing them but states they must continue to act even in they lose faith as Kellhus will lead them to victory at Golgotterath . At Dagliash , his heart is battered by the proportion of the slaughter of Sranc . He wonders why he doesn't share in the joy of the others. After the explosion of the mountain, Kellhus comes to Proyas and takes him to a mountain top and explains the great and tragic victory that has polluted the land. Kellhus explains that Saubon is dead and as lone Exalt General Proyas must rally the remaining Ordeal host and go North. He charged him with keeping everyone away from the polluted land and he must cull the sick suffering from seeming radiation poisoning. Kellhus prepares him that he is the only one who can lead and make decisions that no Believer can saying " Something must eaten."

The Unholy Consult

Proyas tries to rein in the savagery of the Ordealmen caused by the Sranc meat, but to no avail. As hunger and madness consumes them on the Field Appalling, Proyas succumbs to the madness and leads them to assault the Scalded, survivors of the horrors of Dagliash. Unimaginable carnage ensues, where the Ordealmen give into their basest instincts and succumb to cannibalism and necrophilia, consuming the Scalded. When Kellhus returns, he finds Proyas in nominal control of the Ordeal, but senses something is wrong. He questions Proyas and finds out their horrific actions, condemning Proyas to death, seemingly for collaborating with the Consult. This, however, seems to have always been the Aspect-Emperor's plan. By making Proyas bear the shame for all the sins committed by the Men of the Ordeal, they would be men reborn, revitalized for the final battle against Golgotterath after their lowest point. Proyas is left to hang, dying slowly as the Ordeal departs. Achamian later finds him and takes him down and they have their final conversation. He is later found by Moënghus , who finally ends his suffering.

Nersei Proyas

Nersei Calmemunis
Nersei Calmemunis is the Palatine of the Conriyan province of Kanampurea , and nominal leader of the Vulgar Holy War .

Appearance

Calmemunis is tall and broad of shoulder. His mouth is somewhat small. He wears a beard.

Personality

Calmemunis is arrogant, headstrong, and stupid.

What Came Before

Calmemunis fought in the Battle of Paremti under his cousin Nersei Proyas , who had him whipped for impiety. Calmemunis and his men brought charges against him, both to the ecclesiastical courts and to the King. Proyas, humbled after a severe chatising from Krijates Xinemus , offered to compensate Calmemunis lash for lash. Calmemunis accepted, whipping Proyas before the eyes of the King and court, not realizing until afterwards that in doing so he lost the high ground and gained the appearance of a petty, resentful oaf. Calmemunis claimed that Proyas had tricked him, and never forgave his cousin for this loss of honor.

The Darkness That Comes Before

Calmemunis is the first of the great Inrithi nobles to reach the Nansur Empire and join the Holy War . Believing the threat of the Fanim to be overstated, and worried that the glory of presiding over the Holy War's victory over them will be taken from him if he waits for more high-ranking nobles to arrive, Calmemunis leads the Vulgar Holy War to battle without waiting for reinforcements. He, and all who follow him, are subsequently massacred at the Fourth Battle of Mengedda .

Nersei Calmemunis

Nersei Eukernas II
Nersei Eukernas II was a King of Conriya , husband to Queen Thaila and father to Nersei Tirummas and Nersei Proyas .

What Came Before

Before his son Proyas was born, Eukernas was bested by Hoga Gothyelk in the Battle of Maän . From then on, he called his limp "Gothyelk's gift" . The last of House Nersei 's ancestral rivals, the Nejati , were executed during his reign, which was the cause of an argument between Eukernas and Proyas . Eukernas considered that the murder of these children was necessary to protect his sons and his people from a future war . When Eukernas' older son and heir Tirummas died at sea in 4100, his younger son Proyas became Crown Prince .

The Darkness That Comes Before

When talking to Kellhus about Hoga Gothyelk, Proyas mentions the Battle of Maän and his father's injury .

The Warrior-Prophet

Proyas thinks to himself that Cnaiür is not that much younger than his father .

The Thousandfold Thought

Proyas writes a letter to his father retelling the encounter between Kellhus and a mysterious blind beggar in Gim .

Life in the New Empire

Eukernas died at some point after the conquest of Shimeh and the beginning of the Great Ordeal , with Proyas succeeding him as King of Conriya. On his deathbed, he called for his son, knowing (and maybe even hoping) he would not come .

The Unholy Consult

Faced with his own impending death, Proyas thinks of his father, and comes to the conclusion that he was right all along in his decision to have the Nejati killed, and in his belief that "power is damnation" . He also recalls how Eukernas had called for him on his deathbed .

Trivia

This character is named for the first time in The Thousandfold Thought , where his name is given as "Eukernas II" . However, in The Unholy Consult , he is referred to as "Onoyas" . It's unknown which of the two is his actual canon name.

The White-Luck Warrior

After Fanayal 's army attacks Aöknyssus , Miramis and her children are removed to Attrempus for their safety . Following Maithanet 's coup, Esmenet thinks of fleeing to Aöknyssus and considers that Miramis would at least give her sanctuary .

The Unholy Consult

After Proyas is denounced as a traitor and strung up to be slowly left to die, Kellhus brings up Miramis, Xinemus and Thaila as lives that will be saved by his decision to set up Proyas as an agent of the Consult .

New
"New Empire" The New Empire (the Kellian Empire ) is the Empire founded by Anasûrimbor Kellhus following the First Holy War and the Unification Wars . It spans the entirety of the Three Seas , from the legendary fortress of Auvangshei on the frontiers of Zeüm to the shrouded headwaters of the River Sayut , from the sweltering coasts of Kutnarmu to the wild rim of the Osthwai Mountains —all the lands that had once been Fanim or Inrithi . It was easily the equal of the old Ceneian Empire in terms of geographical extent, and likely far greater when it came to population. A hundred great cities, and almost as many languages. A dozen proud nations. Thousand of years of mangled history. Anasûrimbor Kellhus was proclaimed Aspect-Emperor after the defeat of Fanayal ab Kascamandri at Shimeh in 4112. Both the Kianene and the Nansur empires collapsed shortly thereafter, leaving him the undisputed master of the Western Three Seas. Thirteen years of internecine and expansionist war followed. Many factors were instrumental to his success, including his martial brilliance and the fanaticism of his Zaudunyani Inrithi. But it would be his control of the Thousand Temples (which allowed him to so quickly consolidate his gains) and his alliance with the School of Mandate (which gave him the sorcerous advantage on every field of battle) that would prove decisive. The so-called Unifications Wars ended with the final capitulation of Nilnamesh in 4126, rendering Anasûrimbor Kellhus the greatest conqueror since Far Antiquity . Not even the legendary Triamis the Great (2456-2577) achieved so much in so short a time.
