The Legend of Keldin

: Note : This is a legend and not strictly canon
This is a legend of a peasant who rose to great heights. He destroyed the Lich Drexl after the war of creation. The lower classes believe our hero, Keldin, really lived, while the upper classes believe it's just a legend. Both sides of society have motives for believing what they do, and the truth is unknown.
==The Legend of Keldin==
Keldin's village was on the side of the Winter Gods during the War of Creation. Clerics of Malkis came through the village looking for those gifted enough to join their cause. They found Arkara, Keldin's mother, and took her away against her will under the premise that she could become a great and powerful sorcerer for their cause.
Keldin takes off from his hometown at an early age in search of his missing mother, hoping to bring her back. After the trail goes cold he ends up joining in the war on the side of the Summer Gods. When the trail for Arkara runs dry on finding his mother, he ends up on a quest to take out Drexl the Bloodthirsty, a powerful Lich who served Malkis.
Drexl was a sorcerer from another dimension who had come to live in the Prime Material Plane after the War of Creation.
Keldin, knowing Drexl to be a Lich, goes in search of Drexl's Lair to obtain his Phylactery. After many battles, Keldin discovers the lair and fights his way inside. However he discovers his missing mother, Arkara, working for Drexl and the final guardian of his Phylactery. Arkara had been was trained by the clerics and sorcerers, learning to use and control the gifts she didn't know she had. Soon Arkara forgot her family and children, and only thought for more power.
Keldin confronts Arkara, giving her the choice between betraying her master and killing her child. Arkara chooses family, knowing full well of the horrible fate she would meet for changing sides. The phylactery was trapped and couldn't be removed without causing the death of the one to move it, Arkara sacrifies herself to give the phylactery to her son.
Keldin later finds Drexl causing a lava to flow towards a major city. Keldin positions himself at the end of the lava flow and interrupts it's course. Drexl, not knowing Keldin has his phylactery, comes down to put an end to this nuisance.
In the ensuing battle, Keldin surprises Drexl with his strength and skill, forcing the Lich into the Lava flow. Drexl falls in laughing, thinking that he'll just resurrect again and come back. Keldin tosses in the Phylactery and Drexl dies.
When the war ends some years later, Keldin gives away his weapons and armor, and returns to his family's plot of land to live the life of a farmer.
What happened to him and his final resting place are lost to the ages.
: Notes: The location this legend takes place is unknown. Georg was told by a sage that Drexl defeat took place in the Prime Material Plane after Drexl came to live in the PMP after the War of Creation. (Dicing with Death Episode 74)
