Ārsin-zah numak (glossary)
The Ārsin-Zah Numak, meaning Bind-Cursed Oath in Amsari, refers to the oath imposed on Qanamsar Ashakhet in the late 7th century. Enforced through the Keening Wall, a Sirhad-devised enchantment, it drained the souls of any Amsari bearing arms who attempted to cross into Wardenite lands. For three centuries, the Numak remained unbroken until Qanamsar Aushedar, with the aid of his Frazan-Magi, shattered the enchantment and led his forces on Wardenite lands for the first time.
