Khurram abol Ghasem is the faydhaan sheikh patriarch of a faydhaan clan that migrated to the ruins of Kho after the city's fall and became the ruins' self-proclaimed ruler. As of 4723 AR, the Ghasem clan had disappeared from Kho without a trace.

Background

The clan moved through the damaged seals of the planar portals that had once endlessly supplied Kho's Cistern Major with fresh water. The vast cistern is still almost intact in the city's ruins, and its waters empty through countless cracked reservoirs and fractured aqueducts to form the headwaters of the Uomoto River.

Khurram was Kho's self-proclaimed ruler, and the arrogant faydhaans claimed the cistern and the river that flows through and out of the valley as their own and tended it as a great palace and garden, shaped by their power of illusion. The faydhaan sheikh and his court—his wife Zahra, daughter Shireesha, and son-in-law Juqua, as well as his personal priest Kaila and more than a dozen of their cousins who came and went to the Plane of Water—claimed all of Kho, but in reality their rule stretched only as far as Iouri's Cascade, where the waters of the Cistern Major poured into the Lower City.
