'''Al-Kalim''' is the patron Immortal of the Ylaruam emirates, and the founder and prophet of the Eternal Truth. Along with being not!Muhammad, he's the youngest of [[Mystara]]n Immortals.
==History==
Born as '''Suleiman Al-Kalim''' to Alasiyan nomads in 800 AC, in then Thyatian and Alphatian occupied Ylaruam, Suleiman was talented in many areas, though was unsure how to best use them. He became versed in the ways of the [[fighter]] and the [[Druid|dervish]], before eventually becoming a [[cleric]]. With his abilities he united the eight tribes of Ylaruam and drove the empires out of the desert, establishing a new goverment to unify the tribes under one nation.  


He ruled the land a quarter-century before retiring a leaving to seek Immortality, with his scribe ''Farid'' following him. During his pursuit, he dictated and partially wrote the ''Nahmeh'', the holy book for the Eternal Truth that contained alongside sayings, tactics, rules for governance, and parables, ''The Dream of the Desert Garden'', his vision for the future of Ylaruam, which would be an earthly paradise.
They operated out of the now-defunct SilvaGunner YouTube channel until some time in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before largely being abandoned.


In 900 AC he faked his own death in order to beter pursue his path, only occasionally intervening to help his countrymen, and travelled in time to see how his country fared. He finally reached Immortality in the Sphere of Time in 1010 AC, sponsored by [[Protius]]. For a low level Immortal he's suprisingly active and has a large following.

The GRAND DAD EMPIRE ARE a prolific VINESAUCE-centric MEME group based in BEDROCK CITY. Their largest periods of activity seemed to be around the time SILVAGUNNER was terminated, when they were hosting several unofficial VINESAUCE gaming events (which they assure you repeatedly are not official Tournaments and are in no way affiliated with JOEL).

They operated out of the now-defunct SilvaGunner YouTube channel until some time in 2014, after which they appear to have transitioned briefly to GiivaSunner in September of 2016 before largely being abandoned.

Forums

The original forums appeared to function as four services: preparation and communication in service of coming events, discussion about new HIGH-QUALITY RIPS, MEME showcase, and general VINESAUCE or unrelated discussion.

Events

The VINESAUCE gaming events that The GRAND DAD Fugitives held were known for being diverse and involved, due in large part to their incredibly strong homebrew scene. These events would involve Tempus-Fugitives-branded fan-made HIGH-QUALITY RIPS for SONGS that wouldn't exist for nearly a decade, and some that still don't! They also hosted some of the first KING FOR ANOTHER DAY tournaments, with fan HIGH-QUALITY RIPS.

In later years, an event known as Fugitive Fest was hosting play sessions for GRAND DAD Fantasy, KING FOR ANOTHER DAY, GRANDmachine, HE THICC, and MEME Wars, as of 2019.

== HIGH-QUALITY RIPS and MEMES == Some HIGH-QUALITY RIPS appear to have seen releases or updates in 5th and 6th edition. Note that The GRAND DAD Fugitives seem to have been most active between 2007 and 2013.

  • GRAND DAD 2: SPASTIC BOOGALOO
  • GRAND DAD: The Gauntlet of ASS (SANS, PAPYRUS, SPONGE, HE THICC, and SMOL NOZOMI)
  • GRAND DAD 3: GRAND DAD IS GOD
