Al'a

Al'a the Siege-Master was a dahabi of Medinaat al-Salaam.

Qolat
Al'a worked for a time with the Qolat, the conspirators of Laramun. He realized they were demented and left them, waiting for his revenge. He felt he had treated as a lap-dog by his masters.

Erba'a Alliance
The time for revenge came in 1132, when the Moto Clan, the Ra'Shari, and the Yodotai, among others, created the Erba'a Alliance. He joined the alliance, and during the Shattering of the Jewel he sent an explosive wagon to the Merchant Quarter to destroy the base of power of the Houses of Dahab, deeply infiltrated by the Qolat.
