Kasim Hazil is one of the [[Great General|Great Generals]] of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]] and the [[Toran Republic]]. He is said to be the greatest swordsman of the group. During the [[War of Succession]], Kasim fought for [[Barbarosa Rugner]], with [[Mathiu Silverberg]] serving as his army strategist. | |||
He is known as "Kasim of the Blue Moon" due to his Blue Moonlight sword. His sword was forged by [[Senan]] nomads using a long-lost technique of the [[Sindar]]. This group has since disappeared and the secrets of Kasim's sword have been lost to time. | |||
During the early stages of the [[Gate Rune War]], Kasim Hazil attempted to recall Mathiu Silverberg into the service of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], but this attempt failed. Following the death of his good friend [[Teo McDohl]], Kasim Hazil was assigned to guard the northern defences and decided to build up his forces. Kasim also began to apply extreme pressure on the rebel factions within [[Senan]]. | During the early stages of the [[Gate Rune War]], Kasim Hazil attempted to recall Mathiu Silverberg into the service of the [[Scarlet Moon Empire]], but this attempt failed.
