Jorga Azmal
Jorga Azmal is the Supreme Wiseman of Derdian Golcondism, and therefore the leader of the Nurist Republic of Derdia.
Azmal grew up within the Golcondist community of Outer Neael, where he achieved the rank of Adept at just 16 years old. He studied Wruhecist philosophy at Neael University before becoming a disciple of Rasma Atafor, Derdia's first Supreme Wiseman. In the early 1940s, he published a book based on Atafor's teachings that was widely distributed to schools and households across the country. When Atafor died in 1945, Azmal was unanimously voted in as his successor.
Azmal has mostly continued the strict religion-based policies of his predecessor; the only notable departure has been his focus on weapons programs as a "necessary step towards achieving Golconda". He lives in a heavily guarded compound built into the mountains above Neael, which he runs as a self-sustaining Golcondist community, disconnected from the city's water and energy grid.
