> *Pulled from* [[2-strings-(Warband)]] — (*Note*: these lines are said by Nizar) “How generous and kind of you, {sire/my lady}. Allow me to express the utmost reverence for your wisdom in selecting me. Truly, your perspicacity exceeds that of King Laminur, who could read the character of a man from a single hair of his head. Your judgment surpasses that of the Emperor Akembra, to whom even the jinns submitted their disputes. Anyway, I accept.”
The origins and identify of this *“King Laminur”* is impossible to tell. Upon research, it seems Laminur is not a common enough name to have any specified origins, variations however may give insight into the potential origins of the name. Variations of Laminur could be *Lamine* and/or *Lamin*, which derives from the Mandinka and Wolof peoples / languages of West Africa, meaning: “(…) to be Great or Chief” another origin is North African countries like Morroco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Mauritania, the name signifies integrity and reliability. [^1] [^2] Another variation of Laminur could be Lamar, which comes to us from the Iberian Peninsula. Lamar means: “from the Sea.” [^3]
Regardless of which, this King Laminur, had great intuition / insight and likely lived close to the Nahasa / Aserai / Sarranids or was further south of Calradia.
