 ===== Ancient History of Kelvar ===== ===== Ancient History of Kelvar =====
-Kelvar and her brother, Grim-Notesh, are two of the original dragons from [[settings:torandor|Torandor]]. Nobody is entirely sure of their origin or ascension to divinity at that time, but both of them ended up as gods of dragons of Torandor. Kelvar's domain was that of the nurturing aspects of dragons. Specifically revolving around their leadership and dominion over nature, leadership and guidance of people and ruling. Kelvar desired to use dragons natural power to grow wealth and nations, while yet remaining above them. To do trade by barter and deals, over that of physical strength.+Kelvar and her brother, Grim-Notesh, are two of the original [[lore:creatures:greatbeasts:dragons|dragons]].

 Grim-Notesh held opposing ideals to that of Kelvar. He and his children desired to rule as well, but by force. His domain encompassed the strength and desires of dragon, their primal nature and to hoard wealth.  Grim-Notesh held opposing ideals to that of Kelvar.

 These opposing domains of Kelvar and Grim-Notesh led to many conflicts between the two dragon deities and their kin. In most cases, Grim-Notesh or a child of his would become an aggressor to one of Kelvar’s kin or a city under one of their protection. The child of Kelvar would often not respond to the aggression of it, instead seeking appeasement and to maintain the peace by what was needed, thinking themselves above responding by force.  These opposing domains of Kelvar and Grim-Notesh led to many conflicts between the two dragon deities and their kin.

-This progressed for several thousand years on Torandor, approximately one generation of dragons before the peace was finally, truly broken. There existed the kingdom of Naisian, a large prosperous kingdom lining the coasts of long forgotten continents. The king himself had drawn the attention of Kelvar at the time, and together they had a child. Grim-Notesh, sensing the immeasurable wealth available and hidden there, could no longer contain his own nature, and set the city alight. Grim-Notesh razed the city that night, taking all of it for his own, and killing Kelvar’s child and husband. Kelvar, devastated by this event, declared war on her own brother, starting the first dragon war.+This progressed for several thousand years on Jaern, approximately one generation of dragons before the peace was finally, truly broken. There existed the kingdom of Naisian, a large prosperous kingdom lining the coasts of long forgotten island. The king himself had drawn the attention of Kelvar at the time, and together they had a child. Grim-Notesh, sensing the immeasurable wealth available and hidden there, could no longer contain his own nature, and set the city alight. Grim-Notesh razed the city that night, taking all of it for his own, and killing Kelvar’s child and husband. Kelvar, devastated by this event, declared war on her own brother, starting the first dragon war.
  
 The war was long, bloody and brutal, even by the standards of the time. Most cities found themselves caught in the middle of battles of dragons, burning to the ground by the end of each fight. Millions were displaced, islands and lands were rendered uninhabitable. Kelvar, sensing the movement of the other gods in response to the distress of people of the world, began coming up with a plan to end the war, once and for all. The plan was set to take place on the seventy seventh anniversary of the start of the war. During the early morning hours, Kelvar challenged her brother to a duel to decide the war. God versus Goddess on an island, isolated from the world around. The duel began as one would imagine, fierce and bloody, with Kelvar quickly becoming overwhelmed by Grim-Notesh’s primal nature. It was at this time Kelvar activated her trap. The island itself took both of them, and using the souls of all the deceased dragons, ejected Grim-Notesh into the void beneath the Beneath. It was there that he was trapped and bound, to be forgotten in the annals of history.  The war was long, bloody and brutal, even by the standards of the time.

 This battle did leave Kelvar mortally wounded. With the assistance of her high priest, Kelvar put a small fraction of her soul into a mortal, to be passed down through the centuries and to keep the priesthood going. Kelvar then retreated to a hidden domain, where she fell asleep for the next several millennia. This battle did leave Kelvar mortally wounded.

-During this time, Kelvar missed the destruction of Torandor, and the great sleep of dragons that occurred when the migration to Jaern happened. Kelvar herself has recently woken up during the year 10078 SF on Jaern, only to find her priesthood in complete disrepair and completely forgotten.+Kelvar herself has recently woken up during the year 10078 SF on Jaern, only to find her priesthood in complete disrepair and completely forgotten.

 Following the events of Derago, Kelvar’s ancient Kingdom of [[settings:jaern:Keerlevex|Keer'Levex]] was refounded by Keket and Kelvar. The island was old and abandoned, though it still hosted a magnificent empty temple to Kelvar. Through adventuring and deals made with the priesthood of Vormaxia, Keer’Levex has become an official kingdom on Jaern. Since then Keer’Levex’s population and dragon presence has expanded, with many dragons seeking their kin from around Jaern. During the downtime before Dragons Gate, Keket was crowned empress and high priest of Kelvar by the last remaining servitor of Kelvar, a dragon named Eivor. Following the events of Derago, Kelvar’s ancient Kingdom of [[settings:jaern:Keerlevex|Keer'Levex]] was refounded by Keket and Kelvar.

-Since this time, Keer’Levex has expanded and placed 5 shrines to Kelvar around Jaern. One resides on the island of Centralia, one in Frosland, one in Ageron, one in Lojem, and one moved off the planet by adventurers. This one was moved to a space station, which crashed back to Jaern and sunk to the bottom of the seas. These shrines currently function as temples to Kelvar while more temples are being built.+Since this time, Keer’Levex has expanded and placed 5 shrines to Kelvar around Jaern.

 Priests of Kelvar are often viewed by the outside world as traveling nobles. Seen as wealthy and eagerly brought into the homes of the local elite. Priests of Kelvar also excel in settling disputes around that of nobility and heraldry. Priests of Kelvar are often viewed by the outside world as traveling nobles.

-The priesthood of Kelvar is divided into three groups, each group is responsible for certain tasks within the priesthood. Uniting the three groups of the priesthood is the high priestess, whom is also designated as the emperor of Keer'levex. The position is currently held by [[adventurers:keket|Keket Kessindra]]. The high priestesses two roles are designated to organization of the Awakening Ceremony and other festivals, and settling disputes between the groups.+The priesthood of Kelvar is divided into three groups, each group is responsible for certain tasks within the priesthood.
