### History

In the land that was once Kuth, there were many clans that fought against each other for the southern-most alkazar (castle) which was called then the Last Star of Life, this castle resided in what is now known as Perrigwynn. In those ancient times there were ten clans.

* Pāragvin
* Nāgah
* Dakkā
* Hózraīn
* Drōwski
* Krāwasi
* Māstalys
* Muraqesh
* Zerda
* Akhet

From the great tribe of Nāgah, the 2 meter tall man of Sāl Mirador, became the shah of Nāgah, after his father Al Mirador died in fight against a raid from Dakkā, he was scared of the pressure and tried to hide from the people of Nāgah. But when his brother, Azal Mirador, Sāl was filled with rage and swore he would kill everyone in Dakkā but Samian Yahyew, a prophet, calmed him down and anointed him saying he would become ruler of the south. From the weakest family in the smallest tribe of Pāragvin, a young boy of the age of 15 called Adekūth Siyan was anointed by the prophet Samian who fore destined him to unite the southern tribes and to become a great empire, just like he did for Sāl. Unlike Sāl's anointing, this ceremony was held quiet, and Adekūth left his father's family and joined the army of Pāragvin due to his family dismissing him as useless. In the army, he started to gain notice of the commander Chief Drabador, as Adekūth was very skilled with the scimitar and the sling, Chief Drabador promoted Adekūth and he became the lieutenant of the army.

During this time, Sāl Mirador had united the clan of Nāgah with there foremost enemy Dakkā, he named his empire Sālnāga and he became rich with gold and the love of his people. Yet he became happy with his nation and didn't try to expand his nation, true to the prophecy Sāl Mirador did unite the south but only the tip of the nation. The other tribes were excluded from the now pronounced nation of Sālnāga, and they experienced what is called 'the famine of Sālnāga'. Back in Pāragvin, Adekūth Siyan's legion was taken in a battle with Athaia and he was forced to fight Hal Drabador, his chief to the death. But he refused and when Athaian guards tried to force him he killed them with ease. Ward Brusque, the chief of Pāragvin at the time saw him and noticed his great skill. Adekūth revolted against Athaia and pushed them out of Pāragvin and Hózraīn, Adekūth Siyan was given the role of chief of the army as Hal Drabador died in the battle. Ward Brusque awarded Adekūth, his daughter Zawarda to him and as Adekūth outranked his father he changed his name to Kūth Siyan. Zawarda gave birth to 2 children, Khaskuth and Adekuth. When Athaia was beaten out of Pāragvin and Māstalys, Athaia took over six of the clans:

* Hózraīn
* Drōwski
* Krāwasi
* Muraqesh
* Zerda
* Akhet

Sālnāga shrunk away from Athaia as Sāl Mirador was scared of the army of the great giant Golgathi. But Kūth united Pāragvin and Hózraīnand forced them against Athaia pushing them back. Yet they stopped there push as Athaia re-enforced the town of Skuiso and Golgathi challenged Kūth to the death they met at the fork of The Prong River. Golgathi sent messages to the north and got the great forges of the White-peak to create a sword of tremendous power. While Kūth sent message to all of the clans to give him stones and eight of them did while Sālnāga refused to not antagonize the enemy. They met in the water of the Prong River and he threw 2 of the stones at Golgathi, and he fell over into the water and fell on his own sword which killed him. The two stones were of Akhet and Zerda who were prophesied to survive until the end of days which is still true to this day as Zerda and Akhet are the last ancient clans left. Golgathi's great sword was taken by Kūth and each stone was placed on his robe, the clans who were overcome by Athaia swore allegiance with Pāragvin while Akhet and Zerda remained as clans but allied themselves with the newly named Kūthgvin. During the time since he married Zawarda, she had given birth to 4 more babies, Ghaskuth, Zakuth his first daughter, Faskuth Siyan and his second daughter Askuthza. Years past and Kūthgvin grew bigger and the nation took parts of Athaia and in the battles, Khaskuthwas killed along with the young Ghaskuth Siyan. Shah Sāl hated the new clan of Kūthgvin and even more he hated Kūth as he rivalled him in strength and now height as Kūth had grown. Sāl invited Kūth and his remaining family to a banquet and during the meal Kūth betrothed his daughter Askuthza who was 18, in an exchange. Yet Sāl challenged Kūth for his daughter Misal Mirador, he challenged that if he stole the crown of Athaia he would win his daughter's hand in marriage. Kūth didn't love Misal as he had never seen or met the woman, but he couldn't dismiss a challenge from Sāl. Kūth along with Adekuth, Faskuth and his father Ade, commanded a small army invading into Athaia. The party split into two and Adekuth and his grandfather Ade ventured north for their second tower while Kuth and Faskuth went for their capital. Kuth killed 3000 men in the battle for the crown band succeeded to steal the crown and they came back to find out that Ade and Adekuth had died in a viscous fight against a cousin of Golgathi and their army. Highly unusual but Kuth got married to Misal during the time of mourning, as when he saw Misal and all of her beauty he immediately fell in love. It is rumored that Kuth didn't spend a night with his first wife Zawarda, and spent all his days in Sāl's palace on the tip of the peninsula of what today is called the Kuthian Peninsula and didn't spend any time in the orgin place of Pāragvin
