<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The Emir-Jarl of Farasland is a foreign sovereign of the nation of Farasland, assassinated by a concealed ranged weapon known as a charged rod. The killing is referenced only obliquely in ''Days of Shattered Faith'', invoked during a discussion of the charged rod's capacity for lethal political violence, in which the Emir-Jarl's death is cited as an established historical precedent. No personal identity, personality, or actions of the Emir-Jarl are described; the figure exists in the text solely as the victim of a specific assassination and as a datum in an argument about weapon lethality.<br />
<br />
The timing of the assassination is noted as having occurred "within living memory" of the events of the novel, and Farasland is described as having only recently been accepted into the Sway at the time of the killing, situating the assassination within a period of contested or newly formalised political incorporation. Beyond these contextual markers, the books supply no further detail regarding the perpetrators, the circumstances of the killing, or the political aftermath within Farasland or the wider Sway.<br />

== The Term ==<br />
=== Meaning ===<br />
"Emir-Jarl" is a compound sovereign title denoting the ruler of Farasland. The text identifies the holder as "a foreign ruler," positioning the title from the vantage of the series' primary setting rather than from within Farasland's own political vocabulary. The Emir-Jarl is not, in this usage, a personal name but a designation of office, analogous to how a monarch might be referred to by rank and realm.<br />
<br />
=== Usage ===<br />
The title appears in a single passage of political-military analysis, spoken in a register that treats the assassination as settled, uncontested history suitable for citation as evidence in an argument about concealed weapons. The speakers invoke the Emir-Jarl's death not to memorialise the victim but to establish a factual precedent, reducing the ruler to a data point in a discussion of the charged rod's lethality.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
=== Days of Shattered Faith ===<br />
The Emir-Jarl of Farasland is referenced only obliquely in Days of Shattered Faith, as a historical casualty of assassination by a concealed ranged weapon. The Emir-Jarl is identified as a foreign ruler who was killed by a charged rod, and the assassination is described as having occurred "within living memory" - ch 39. The killing is invoked in a discussion of the charged rod as a concealed ranged weapon, establishing the Emir-Jarl's death as a precedent for the device's lethality in political violence - ch 39. At the time of the assassination, the nation of Farasland had only recently been accepted into the Sway, which situates the killing within a period of contested or newly formalised political incorporation - ch 39. No further detail is given regarding the Emir-Jarl's identity, the circumstances of the killing, the perpetrators, or the political aftermath within Farasland or the Sway - ch 39.<br />
