Legendary Thirteen

The Legendary Thirteen are supposedly the first adventuring party and quite possibly the greatest, having fought demons and dragons both throughout the 2nd Age.

These same heroes are thought to be the ones who inspired the vocations of every adventurer hence thereafter.

Among their number were the following;

* Anduril
* Archmage Abraxis
* Erimond Gryphenos
* Khetashe
* Talanas
* Ronin Cran
* Ordo Karris
* Ione
* Vrael
* The Gift
* Zuma
* A nameless last member, whose name has been struck from the Annals of History.

## Of the Thirteen

### Anduril

* The leader of the party, who is still alive today as the oldest living Elf.
* Sworn enemy of the Dragons, created the devastating Weapon.
* Currently rules Xorisa, but this is more a title than an active position. He is treated as a sage rather than a king.

### Talanas

* The children of Talos, Talanas has always been represented as two people, hence the Thirteen.
* A man and a woman, brother and sister perhaps, but both as Talanas.
* They were the first to join the Thirteen, not recruited by Anduril, but sent by a divine mission.
* Talanas ended the dark by immolating themselves, becoming the new sun.

### Khetashe

* Khetashe is one of the greatest mysteries of the world. Born a normal human who became an Elder God through sheer force of willpower, preservation and sacrifice.
* What did the Thirteen do when faced with a messenger of the Gods who tried to beg forgiveness for humanity, who tried to explain that this must be the way of all life and that humanity must lose in the face of a superior foe? Khetashe killed this god, Talos, and bound him to his shield and brought him to the fields of battle.
* Khetashe was quoted as saying "We have our own dogmas. We don't want yours."
* Now Khetashe is the God-Without-Altars, whose domain protects the outcasts, the wanderers and the adventurers of the world.
* He was a wiry, thin man who despite being young had the hair of one centuries older.

### Erimond Gryphenos

* Destined to be the First King of Humanity, a mortal man whose noble lineage was ripped away by dragons.

### Ronin Cran

* The Broken, a mighty exiled knight whose greatsword was broken upon the scales of the Dragon King of Storms, Skourzh.
* His broken greatsword became the symbol of his house, awarded to him by Erimond.

### Ordo Karris

* A Gnomish bard who desired nothing more than the write the greatest ballad of the first adventurers to ever live.
* Was slain by Skourzh.

### Archmage Abraxis

* One of the greatest wizards to ever live, Abraxis swore to defeat the dragons, but was consumed by a thirst for knowledge and retreated to the Navel of the World.
* What became of him is only conjecture.

### Ione

* A Shict who some believe is also the Queen of a Thousand Teeth.
* After the battle against Skourzh, she was said to lead the shicts of Kasania as their new queen.

### Vrael

* A Rhega who desired to right the wrongs of his progenitor race.

### Zuma

* A death priest who became the first Gevrauchian.
* Some claim he was the first mortal to ever be resurrected, when he awoke he spoke only of the Halls of the Dead and the God that called on him.

### The Gift

* A mad Drow known only as the Gift, as he could not remember his true name.

### The Nameless One

* Whoever the final member was, their name was wiped from the Annals of History for reasons unknown.
