Sō-Thadi Soyaewa
Born in a small, secluded corner of Nīwulā Valley, Soyaewa rose from nothing to become the founder and first leader of Wīzoha Empire. Much of him and the events of his life became immortalized in various Yuiwian tales, myths and songs.
The first of the Sō-Thadi appeared as the brave conqueror, a ray of light fighting against the shadow which had taken over Nīwulā Valley. In other stories, he was kind and fair, in others a ruthless defender of the valley he had made his own.
Less known and spoken of were the two siblings of Soyaewa: Kēhmao and Sībyēmu. Very little knowledge of them remained, except that which connected to Soyaewa's own conquest and reign as king.

Kēhmao was a fighter known as quick, precise and ruthless as he cleaved through battlefields next to Soyaewa and later as he led fighters of his own as one of the earliest leaders of an organized military force known to history.
Sībyēmu, reportedly, held a distaste toward violence, however necessary it might have been. Instead, she was known as someone no one could—or even wanted to—say no to. Where Soyaewa wielded his flame as a weapon, hers was a welcoming hearthfire, a shelter shielded from the evils of the world.
Many of Sībyēmu's diplomatic achievements were, over time, transferred to Soyaewa as his own. After the First Dynasty of Sō-Thadi came to an end in the third century of the First Age, numerous descendants of Sībyēmu began a long-term campaign to spread her achievements as her own once more. These efforts, however, were at times muddled by individuals looking to use their lineage as a way to gain influence and fight for the title of Sō-Thadi.
