History
The Mage Lord of Janam, Danash VIII is highly ambitious and also a highly capable strategist. This ambition is what led him to take three Empress Consorts, each adding to his power in some way. He also had the desire to make Chrodechild his fourth wife, both for his own power and his own desires.

As the Magedom of Janam was the main power fighting the Order of the One True Way, Danash and the Company entered into an easy alliance at first. However, when Danash attempted to charge Chrodechild with sedition in the hopes of pressuring her into marriage, thus allowing Danash to absorb the Blades of Night's Veil.

Although this ploy failed and was the incident that broke the alliance between Janam and the Company, Danash was also a man who made calm, prudent decisions. Following the split, he did not act rashly against his former allies, deciding to regard them as neutral forces and maintaining cordial relations.

The war against the Order would continue and Danash would make plans towards a final, decisive battle. Before he launched his attack however, he and the Magedom would be wiped out instantly, disappearing into the Janam Desert with the 10th world fusion.
