Hadism

**Hadism** was an ancient Deyazi religion which was founded long before other major religions such as the Church of the Heavens. It taught and often commanded an unwavering belief in a single deity called Mailah, as opposed to the polytheism practiced by Esrian religion as a whole. The name of the religion had its origins in the Deyazi word *hadiya*, which could be taken to mean both benevolence and truth.
As described in Hadist teachings, Mailah was said to be an omnipotent being primarily characterised by his reign over the afterlife. From the world beyond, he commanded his followers to a strict and zealous ritual of worship, with prayers a required occurrence at least four times a day within a *hamili*, a monastery-like structure, or any dedicated space marked exclusively for the practice. During the blistering summer heat observed by the southern lands of Eliya, it was customary for followers of Hadism to offer clean water to the disabled and the less fortunate, demonstrating their religious principles of generosity and benevolence.

Cities within El Deya housed many churches and basilicas dedicated to worship of the Heavens, but there was never a shortage of buildings that had been specifically to worship a different path. It is a common sight in any permanent Deyazi settlement to see impressive constructions called *kharahi*, featuring massive domed tops and traditional architecture alongside spires reaching upwards for the heavens. These are the largest of the buildings classified as *hamili*, designated for huge gatherings and prayers that can be heard from even the outskirts of the massive city.

Followers of Hadism, often named simply as Hadists, accept only their god as the one true deity worthy of worship. They do not recognise the word of the Church, nor those of any other religions, and name Mailah as the one force responsible for all in the world. It is a firmly established belief that whilst doubt is forgiveable, any significant insult to their god is cause for a response akin to revenge upon his honour.

A small percentage of the religion follow a more mild practice, choosing to pray to Mailah with a more open mind. They tend to acknowledge the teachings of the Church, seeking compromise and approaching the diversity of the world with the curiosity of scholars.
Vinere an Agaroth

**Vinere an Agaroth**, often known simply as **Vinere**, was an Anari human flamekeeper in the service of the Kingdom of Agaroth, and student of the phoenix Galanath. He died in the Fire Ritual of Londorwyn, but was later rediscovered and resurrected through the efforts of the wizard, Cyril Faulkner.

He was a renowned warrior and evocation mage known for his sense of justice and order, and was incredibly talented in the use of the spear.

In the early years of the Imperial Era he served aboard the infamous Vesryne privateer *Revenge* as it journeyed to northern Khairys to curtail pirate activity there. He would later leave the crew for personal reasons.

In 1606 I.E, Vinere travelled to the northern shores of the Isle of Valgran, where he met the other individuals that would come to comprise the members of his adventuring party. They would later go on to save the world during the time after Heaven's destruction. It was during this time that Vinere, and his companion Artan, would give their lives in a final sacrifice to destroy Hell.

## Information

### Appearance

Vinere stood at a somewhat average height for a human, with a strong build reinforced by years of hard fighting in the service of the crown. In the Imperial Era he dressed himself in the fashion of the century, wearing a variety of shirts, vests and coats, and frequently wore a mask to cover his appearance, which was altogether weathered and old.

He carried a large oak longspear with a haft fashioned by the shipwrights of the *Revenge* as a parting gift, although later managed to track down and reclaim the relic Luin, an ancient spear of great power representing the birthright of the Anari kings of old. Using his affinity and knowledge of 'the flame', he was able to utilise the hidden aetheric potential of the spear to its fullest. The spear was later entrusted to the rat Sprig.

### Personality

Vinere was a very secretive individual, known to keep much from his compatriots despite fighting alongside them. Despite his quiet nature, he was observant, patient and good-hearted, though did not hesitate to stand back when not needed.
Church of the East

**The Church of the East**, more commonly referred to as **Septarchy**or **Septism**, was an alternative branch of Adenism. It originated in the early Era of Harvest after Aden, who in Septism was referred to as the prophet of Heaven, was sent down by the Archangels to guide the wayward souls of Esria home.

It largely served the same purposes as its western counterpart, but Septism deviated from the Adenist belief in one single book, and also in the canonisation of the prophet Aden who was instead known as Vadym.

Although it did not start as such, it grew to become centric to East Astria and took on the distinct culture of that region. Subsequently, it gained its most popular name. It was the official state religion of Artava, Eskaya and Halengard.

## Information

### Beliefs

Septists believed not only in the Old Tome, as the Book of Vadym, but also in the tales outlined in the Book of Vyechin, one of the primary tomes of the eastern faith. They believed that Vadym's words were a true account of the Kingdom of Heaven, and used it as the primary book of worship concerning the Archangels and their holy servants.

The Book of Vyechin was only used when worship was concerned with the mortal plane of Esria, given its relevance to mortal life and usefulness in explaining virtues and concepts too complex to outline from the Old Tome.

### The Tales of the Saints

Many believed that upon the conversion of old Vesryn, Aden chose six of his most devout and holy disciples to head eastwards to spread the faith. These men were later canonised as:

* Vendelin, who was the first, and was known as Saint Vyechin.
* Joryn, the friar who later became known as Saint Yefim.
* Alex, who later became Saint Aleksandr.
* Theobard, who was later called Saint Febor.
* John, who was known as Saint Ivan.
* Seryl, who became known as Saint Kirill.

The legendary stories of the six were penned by their aspirants and followers who accompanied them. These stories detailed their piety and kindness on their journeys, and were later compiled into the chapters which made up the modern Book of Vyechin, which contained lessons on morality and the mortal virtues.

### Historical era

Mid-Late Blessed EraImperial Era

The **West Astrian Alliance** was an agreement between the kingdoms of Leoben, Auvais-Chane and Medira. It was formed in 1515 B.E, long after the Vesryne conquest of Saint-Astan had caused tensions to rise across the continent.

Initially only a mutual defence treaty between the two kingdoms of Leoben and Auvais-Chane, it grew stronger with time and expanded its scope greatly. No state on the continental mainland desired war, and it had long been the general opinion of the time that no single state would have the ability to effectively defend against Greater Vesryn and her growing military might.

This line of thinking led to Medira joining the Alliance later in 1542 B.E, seeking assurance that their borders could be kept safe.

Over a period of three years, the states under the alliance would agree to centralise through major reforms, resulting in the creation of West Astria as a singular, more unified kingdom.

Elyn

This article, **Elyn**, is under construction. It contains incomplete sections or is missing crucial information. You may want to wait a little bit before reading this!

An **Elyn** was a large and expansive Elven city that was home to a huge population, comprised primarily of Elves.

Elyns were culturally significant, and Elves from different cities spoke with noticeably different dialects. They also included the name of the Elyn within their own, even if they lived only on the outskirts of a city. Many Elves lived outside of Elyns, especially within Elven territories and kingdoms such as Caralan where an Elyn was granted lands of its own.

## Information

### List of Elyns and their Locations

* **West Astria**
	+ **Astran Isles (Vesryne)**
		- **Elyn Maer** was founded in 990 H.E. It was located in the Kingdom of Vesryn, just north of the border with the county of Olenor. It was the only Elyn in the Astran Isles to remain unaffected after the expulsion of the Elves by King Reynard IV, owing to its extreme integration into Vesryne culture.
		- **Elyn Estel** was founded in 23 A.E, and was the first Elven colony in West Astria. It was located in the county of Olenor, in the Kingdom of Vesryn, and was incredibly significant in developing modern Elven culture as well as the developing language upon which most Elven dialects evolved. Until 1385 B.E, it was the capital of **Nela Estel**, a fully fledged Elven territory recognised by the Kingdom of Vesryn. Although the Elyn itself was allowed to remain, the territory was dismantled and the lands beyond the city were ordered revoked.
		- **Elyn Esari** was founded in 88 A.E, born from Elves migrating from Elyn Estel to the warmer southern lands of the Astran Isles. It grew to become the capital of Nela Esari, an Elven territory which could be found in and around the woods of the county of Merhall in the Kingdom of Vesryn. In 1385 B.E, its lands were handed back to the crown and its outraged population left for Arcadia and the newly formed Empire of Ivryl.
	+ **Astran Isles (Medolan)**
		- **Elyn Anore** was founded in 109 A.E, on the then independent isle of Esmera. Over time, it grew to become a fully fledged territory in the north of the country, Nela Anore. In 1385 B.E, it remained largely unaffected by the crown's reclamation of larger Elven territories, in no small part due to the efforts of Medolan diplomats.
* **East Astria**
* **Arcadia**
	+ **Elyn Illara**
* **Eliya**

## History

Elyn as a term was one that came to exist only in modern developments of the Elven language, as Elves that settled across the world were not immediately welcome and sought refuge in settlements in the woods.

Battle of the Nebelwald

Destruction of the Grand Heartstone

**The Heartstone Crisis** was the name given to the years 1358 - 1381 C.E, so named for the grave threat of heartstones and the detrimental effect they were having upon the world. The period was marked by the decline of magic in Esria, although it would not be felt until some years into the Crisis.

Although initially simply a fear that magic would never return to the world, and a mass confusion as to the cause of such an odd disturbance, it soon became clear that the existence of heartstones suggested an imminent threat to every living being in Esria.

### Notable Events

* The Long Night (1381 C.E)
	+ Battle of the Nebelwald
	+ Destruction of the Grand Heartstone

## History

### The Beginning of the Crisis

The Great Forsaking could be considered to be the beginning of the Heartstone Crisis, though the Archangel Netheriel was forcefully stealing souls and gathering immense amounts of power with the use of heartstones from as early as 381 A.E. The Fire Ritual of Londorwyn marked the first use of carmine energy to capture mortal souls en masse, but concern from the Heavens would force the wicked fallen Archangel to remain hidden for nearly a thousand years.

**A full synopsis on the background behind the crisis can be found here.**

### The Decline of Magic

By the time that news had spread of the terrifying calamity at Harbrook, the arcane energies of the world had already begun to fade. The very nature of heartstones contradicted Esria's established and well-studied laws of magic, with chaotic and otherworldly energy that disrupted the natural order of the plane. As Netheriel and his many servants collected souls, corrupting mortals and allying more to his cause with carmine power, both the magic in the world and the pure aether that resonated from the plane itself suffered as a result.

In 1369 C.E, the decline of magic was prominent enough that it could be felt by even the most humble magic user. Certain magical schools simply ceased practising, as their spells were having too great a toll on their body, while other forms of magic that were older or more potent had simply disappeared altogether. Only two years later, the young Cyril Faulkner would depart on his quest to uncover the reason behind these happenings.
Western Astria

**Western Astria** was a continent on Esria. It was comprised of the Astran Isles and a large part of the mainland leading to the east. It was an extremely diverse region containing frozen northlands and a far warmer climate at its southernmost reaches. It contained the following:

* The Astran Isles
	+ Kingdom of Vesryn (312 A.E - 1456 B.E)
	+ Empire of Greater Vesryn (1457 B.E)
	+ Medolan Republic of Esmera and Aldinor
* Ostia
	+ Territory of Ostia (1068 H.E - 1353 C.E)
	+ Kingdom of Ostia (1353 C.E - 1457 B.E)

Kingdom of Ostia

## (1353 C.E - 1457 B.E)

Silver Coins

Copper Pieces

**The Kingdom of Ostia,**also known as **Ostia**, was a nation in West Astria. Initially a vast wasteland of warring druidic tribes, it was invaded and colonised by the Vesryne Farwynd dynasty in 1068 H.E.

The territory grew under the watch of its overlord, and eventually developed its own derivative of the Vesryne culture with many practical differences. These differences would later develop into agitation between the territory and its overlord, culminating in the Ostian War of Independence.

Ostian culture would later grow to become somewhat antithetical to that of their enemy, valuing diligent work and sober manner over grace and beauty, even in the nobility.

As the Kingdom of Ostia, it would go on to foster good relations with its Astrian neighbours, particularly Saint-Astan, who guaranteed to aid the nation if Vesryn ever returned. This promise would become void after the annexation of Western Astan by Vesryn in 1427 B.E.

Sadly for Ostia, its freedom was short lived, and the nation found itself again annexed by Vesryn just over a century after its independence. The death of the Kingdom of Ostia marked the beginning of an era of Vesryne dominance, and provided a pretence for King Lucièn I to proclaim a new Empire.

Eastern Astria

**Eastern Astria**, sometimes referred to as **East Astria**, was a continent on Esria. It was largely comprised of a single landmass with a frigid climate and huge stretches of dense, untamed forest. Its northernmost reaches were the coldest places in the mortal world, and some of the most desolate.

The land was a vast expanse where nations and civilisations became far sparser and magnitudes more unruly than their western counterparts. It contained the following:

* Artava
	+ Kingdom of Artava (?)
* Akhatai
	+ Bektaigar Khanate of Akhatai (560 H.E)
	+ Nuul Grom (1230 C.E - 1423 B.E)
	+ Nuul Khur (665 H.E - 1423 B.E)
* Eskaya
	+ Kingdom of Eskaya (?)
* Halengard
	+ Kingdom of Halengard (672 H.E)
* Temir
	+ Azvan Khanate of Temir (?)
Pantheon of Eren

**The Pantheon of Eren**, known natively to its adherents as the **Eren Weled,** was the name given to the ancient religion in Esria centred around the worship of who the early Elves believed to be their patron god, the Sky Lord Eren. In reality, Eren was actually the Archangel Israphel. As the official religion of the Alvyri Vandryl, and later its vassal states, it enjoyed relatively widespread worship from a largely homogenous population of Elves.

The core principles of the pantheon were not at all similar to those of its spiritual successor and cousin religion that would come hundreds of years later, the Church of the Heavens. The Pantheon was far less active in its teachings, and the adherents of the Pantheon mostly devoted themselves to the conducting of ceremonies and prayers, but not much beyond that. The Elves held Eren in great reverence as a spiritual and ceremonious figure, and understood the importance of his worship, but did not attribute any holy virtues or rules to him.

Of the many great temples built in Eren's name, many of them contained chambers for animal sacrifices and offerings. The priests would often inspect the entrails of the animals they offered up to determine the favour and whims of Eren, although in actuality Israphel had no relation to the practice, and was not even aware of it. Instead, he was concerned with sending visions to his real messengers on Esria, the Urdau Augama, the members of which had veins touched by the divine grace of celestial blood.

River's Ripple

> “At one point, I was *thrilled* to be going on this journey. I had my son at my side, the one that I loved so dearly. But Kind Fire swayed me in a way I couldn’t fight, and as I fell farther for her, I lost sight of what I wanted. I will never forget that look in Heavy Water’s eyes, when I chose to follow a she-cat over my own *son*.” - River’s Ripple about the journey and choosing to join CloudClan rather than StreamClan with his son

## Racial Characteristics

### Lifespan

Immortal (*150 years regeneration cycle*)

### Defining Features

Deep red feathers, usually wreathed in aetherial flames

## General Information

### Notable Members

IllumeGalanath

**Phoenixes** were mythic beings inherently tied to the fate of Esria, and were more closely linked to the mortal realm than any known magical creature.

They were an unintended consequence of the creation of Esria by the five original Archangels. They were not designed, but born from the residual energies of the plane's creation, and as such were capable of utilising the natural energies of the world. They preferred to inhabit the regions of southern Arcadia where the aetherial currents of the world were strongest.

Their powers were the subject of much speculation throughout history, but were generally considered to have few limits. Some scholars even speculated that Phoenixes held the power of creation, a gift once considered to have been exclusive to the Archangels.

## Information

### Physical Description

Phoenixes were much larger than the average Esrian bird, although considerably lighter. They were identifiable by their feathers, which were capable of bursts of combustion. The were known to radiate a heatless flame at all times.

Their connection to the aetherial energies of the world allowed them to perform great magical feats. As the flames of their coat were arcane in nature, phoenixes radiated aether. This necessitated periodic hibernation to allow these energies to regenerate.

At their weakest, phoenix feathers were a mundane red colour. At their strongest, their feathers burnt with magical fire, glowing yellow and orange. These flames were not harmful to the touch, and were rumoured to emanate a soothing warmth.

## History

### Origins and Extinction

Phoenixes were first discovered by the Anari in southern Arcadia, on the island of Agaroth. During the Era of Discord, they roosted almost exclusively atop the peaks of Baranar, due to the font of magical energy that existed there. They would come to develop close relations with the humans of the Kingdom of Agaroth. Phoenixes were entirely wiped out during the Fire Ritual of Londorwyn. A few of their feathers survived into the Imperial Era atop Luin, the legendary spear carried by many heroes throughout Esria's history.
Brooklight

Brooklight is a small, lean, cinnamon tabby tom with a feather-y tail.

## Description

Brooklight is described as a cinnamon tabby tom (pale & light brown), being small with flat shoulders. He has a lean complexion, described as being nimble and slippery as a snake. His pelt is generally soft and wiry, his tail in particular being long and draping with feather-like hairs. He also has white toes.

He has pale, mint-green eyes.

## Personality

Brooklight is very skittish and anxious, particularly after a bad accident in early kit-hood where he fell into an ice-cold river and supposedly died, only to be revived by StarClan (And Stormfront, the medicine cat at the time). Having been put down most of his life for being weak, he adapted this persona and doesn't try to be strong. He has low self-esteem and generally puts himself far below the other cats around him.

Brooklight is quiet and awkward, but tries to be a good cat. He despises confrontation and generally likes to go unnoticed. He is generally a sweet cat, just struggling with his own self-worth and his place in the Clan.

He idolizes Beeflight, Chestnutheart (but is also petrified of him) and any other cat who is considered very strong.

He struggles with serious anxiety leftover from his mother's overprotectiveness and his brother's hatred of him.

## History

### Early Life

Sable was an inquisitive child, with ideas often challenging the traditional structures of underground life. As such she had a turbulent relationship with her close family, and with other figures of authority.

Fearing repercussions of various events in Sables early life, Sables parents resolved to send her to live with the sisterhood, with the intent of instilling a sense of order in her.
Order of the Chalice

The **Order of Brothers of the Black Chalice of Halengard**, commonly the **Order of the Chalice**, was an Eastern military order founded in 1394 B.E at Moldauthein, in the Kingdom of Halengard.

The order was formed to aid villages on the southern border against Orcish raids, and to aid caravans and pilgrims through Halengard. Secondary to that aim, it was also founded to protect the Black Chalice, the artifact capable of binding souls to Esria. It was used in this way by the order to retain the greatest members of the Order even after the death of their mortal bodies. As such, many of the brothers and sisters who served in the ranks of the Order as Humans continued to do so by housing their souls inside titanic, hollow black-steel suits of armour.

The Order was based out of the massive Fortress Heldenbrecht. Its titanic walls were reinforced into the craggy rocks and lined with killing holes, towers, parapets. Later in the years preceding the Imperial Era, it housed armoured casemates from which cannons protruded.

## The Steelbound

Known as **the Steelbound**, brothers and sisters bound to armour in this way did not lose any of the qualities of their past life, save the physical limitations of the Human form. The benefits were that they felt no pain, hunger, or fatigue, thus enabling them to perform immense physical feats on and off the battlefield.

They were capable of speaking and remembering their past life, and did not face limitations in any way save for their inability to sleep, and the fact that their lives were dependent on the thin layers of meteorite sigils that lined the inside of their armour. If the meteorite sigils were cut, the soul would have nowhere to be housed and the brother would finally ascend to Heaven. Such a revelation often drove the Steel-bound to line the inside of their armour with meteorite sigils, wherever they could fit, so that a single, opportune stroke could not fell them.

## The binding of the soul

The process of becoming Steel-bound was not complicated. The aspirant would send word to the Order, or in times of dire need (such as the aspirant having sustained a mortal wound) the order would visit them. If accepted into the Order, the aspirant would be carried to and restrained to an altar, to which the Black Chalice was affixed. A suit of armour would already be prepared and taken to the room, and placed by the altar.

The ritual often contained recitals of the Book of Aden, the patron saint of the Order, and details of the exact wording were kept in the Book of Brothers. Once the correct phrases were said and the aspirant confirmed his willingness to continue, mana would be channeled into the Chalice and a blade would be thrust through the aspirant's chest, killing their mortal body and instantly severing the soul's connection to it. The soul would then enter the armour.

The leader of the ritual would bow to the Steel-bound and recite the royal phrase: "Blood and Iron." The responses were often varied, and often became something of an identifier, but were meant to demonstrate the willingness of the knight to the protection of Halengard.
Velvetfur

> "Flint was a wonderful cat, and I hold no ill-will towards him. Nor do I wish the Clan's fury upon him for what I did. He gave me what he could, but my loyalty was always to StreamClan, and he knew that. We split moons ago now. I'll never forget him, but our kits will be StreamClan warriors. And I want them to be seen as such." - **Velvetfur** about her affair with Flint
>
>

Velvetfur is a classic brown-black tabby-and-white she-cat.

## Description

Velvetfur is described as a brown tabby-and-white she-cat, with a thick, velvety pelt. She's often described as having very lush and soft fur, being her namesake. She has a white muzzle, chest and underside and a few white spots along her legs and flank.

## In The Books

Velvetfur is set to appear in Lionstar's secret, but has no book appearances thus far.

## Family & Relations

**Ex-Flame:** Flint

**Son:** Rippleclaw

**Daughter:** Thriftwind
Beetlewhisker

> “She and Beetlewhisker picked on you. The flea-brained she-cat tried to attack you. If she wasn’t a queen, I’d have torn her apart myself.” - Featherstar to Brooklight about **Beetlewhisker** and Palewillow having picked on him in The Last Kit
>
>

Beetlewhisker is a large, skinny, scraggly, thickly-furred, ragged, battle-scarred, hoarse, tattered, muddied, lean dusty gray tabby tom with dark, distinctive tabby stripes striking through his long, matted fur, flecked with gray and silver; he has a graying muzzle, crooked whiskers, and snaggly, sharp, yellow-stained teeth; he has pale, faded, sharp honey-yellow eyes.

Though Beetlewhisker never has a mate or any kits mentioned in the books, it is plausible that he may, in fact, be the father of Beeflight. Though this has yet to be decided. It is hinted that he has affection towards Palewillow, despite her already having a mate, since the two of them pick on Brooklight together.

He goes with other senior StreamClan warriors to Chestnutheart's "perfect clan". He is currently an elder in PineClan.

## In The Books

### The Last Kit

Beetlewhisker is first seen when Lionstar assigns him to mentor Blackpaw. When Blackpaw turns to look at him, he gives a gentle smile and a gentle nod of the head.

Beetlewhisker is later seen again when Brooklight strolls by, but halts at hearing Beetlewhisker hissing that Brooklight had decided to show his mangy pelt again. When Brooklight asks daringly what he had just said about him, Beetlewhisker yowls that he wasn't intimidating, going as far as to insult him by calling him "tiny". Palewillow jumps in as well, insulting Brooklight alongside him, much to Brooklight's obvious fury and embarrassment.

When Brooklight growls that he'll tear a cat apart, clanmate or not, and Palewillow rises up to his challenge, Beetlewhisker sneers that 'Wimpy' was actually going to fight. Beetlewhisker is referencing Brooklight's refusal to fight Reedstar in the previous invasion of StoneClan on their camp, which seems to have greatly angered Beetlewhisker to the point of outright insulting him. This hints that Beetlewhisker is very battle hungry.

He is later briefly mentioned again by Featherstar when she mentions that he and Palewillow were picking on Brooklight.

### The Dark Hope

Beetlewhisker is first seen when Brooklight assigns him to Chestnutheart's sunhigh border patrol, alongside Blackrose, Spiritwing and Emberhawk.

When Chestnutheart is rallying cats to take to his clan, and Owlfoot refuses to go with Spiritwing, Beetlewhisker snaps that all of the younger cats are flea-brained, claiming that Chestnutheart's proposal was the perfect opportunity. He then growls that the young cats are all blind and dumbfounded because of their youth, defiantly claiming that he would go with Chestnutheart to their "perfect home". He stands defiantly beside Chestnutheart, before leaving the camp with the rest of the gathered cats.
Flint (Loner)

> "Lionjump didn't recognize his scent, but his silver pelt was not unlike those of Ripplekit or Thriftkit." - Lionjump upon seeing Flint
>
>

Flint is a silver tabby with gray stripes.

## Description

Flint is described as having a lean complexion and wiry silver tabby fur. He's considered a blue-silver tabby, wherein his stripes are blue/gray. He appears to be very nimble and quick on his paws.

## In The Books

He is a loner that appears briefly in Lionstar's secret, looking for Velvetfur. After a scuffle breaks out, Velvetfur intervenes to stop her clanmates from killing him, admitting that they were together but had been split a long time. She asks for the Clan not to go after him for her choices. Flint flees away into the undergrowth afterwards.

After he's chased off, he's only mentioned by name when Ripplekit and Thriftkit are named apprentices, and Lionjump reminisces about how much they look like him.

Destruction of the Grand Heartstone

## War

Heartstone Crisis

**The Destruction of the Grand Heartstone** was a battle during which multiple adventurers allied to the cause of the Kingdom of Heaven faced off against the Archangel Netheriel and his vast army. It is known for being the final battle of the Heartstone Crisis, resulting in the defeat of the Archangel Netheriel and the end of the Long Night.

## Information

### Consequences and Legacy

Although Esria was shattered and destroyed at the time of the final battle, with only seven heroes ever witnessing the events directly, the heroism and selfless actions of those involved would go on to be recounted numerous times by the young bard Braya, one of the seven heroes that fought to restore the world.

She recounted the tale in stories and songs across all of Esria, though the heroes in her account remained nameless and unidentified. Additionally, it had been decided that the truth of Esria's destruction was better left concealed

The truth would later come to light when those who had been trapped in heartstones for a longer period of time began to suffer from an unprecedented affliction that came to be called soul sickness.
Curlkit

Curlkit is a pale, sleekly-furred, almost skinny-looking, limber, light silver tabby tom with sheen fur, a wide frame, a stubby tail, and short, hooked claws (which are his name sake). He has pale, defined gray tabby stripes on his pelt, a softly-coloured chest, and gentle, yet bold, blue eyes.

Curlkit is the son of Ravineclaw and Feathermist, and the brother of Leafkit, Softkit, Ripplekit, Gorsekit and Sandykit.

He was named after his hooked claws, though whether they were a recessive gene or where he got them is unknown.

## In The Books

### Forest of Silence

Curlkit is born in very early leaf-bare to Feathermist and Ravineclaw, alongside his littermates Leafkit, Softkit, Ripplekit, Gorsekit and Sandykit.

When Brookstar goes into the nursery to see Feathermist's newborn kits, she addresses him in the litter after his brother Gorsekit. He is referred to as a sleekly-furred silver tabby, with funky claws that appeared hooked. As if they'd grow out, and then curl right back into his paws. Brookstar makes note that Curlkit is the smallest out of the three toms in the litter, due to having a slimmer complexion.

Brookstar then later notes that while Gorsekit and Softkit had thick pelts to keep them warm, Curlkit and Sandykit lacked the extra fur to keep them warm, meaning they'd have to rely on their mother Feathermist for said warmth.

Cuthwin Tiller

Empire of Ivryl

**Cuthwin Tiller** was an adventurer during the closing years of the Common Era, and a simple wanderer subsequently. As a young man forced to fight in the conflicts that took place on the archipelago of Arcadia during the Heartstone Crisis, he played a direct part in the demise of the Archangel Netheriel and his plans to destroy all life on Esria.

He came to cross paths with the orphan Jaeryn during his travels in Eliya. Although incredibly opposed to the idea, he eventually allowed her to follow by his side after learning of her identity and her intention to fulfil his quest whether he would allow it or not.

## Information

### Personality

Cuthwin was driven to adventure by a burning desire to change the world for the better, and it was this sentiment that led to his arrival in Arcadia. Prior to the journey, he had spent many years hunting and stalking troublesome, lowly bandits to keep peace in Western Astria, but such a pursuit had left him feeling unfulfilled and ready to play a role of greater importance.

The years did much to humble him, although it could easily be said that he was a man of great humility to begin with. By the time of the Blessed Era, he had matured greatly but had also lost much of his desire to see change in the world after a brush with death in Arcadia that left his personality noticeably darkened.

### Appearance

As a man in his mid twenties during the Heartstone Conflict, Cuthwin had brown unkempt hair and brown eyes that always seemed to vigilantly swept over the area confidently. He was of average height for a human, boasting an athletic build and a body honed from years spent wandering outdoors.

He carried an assortment of weapons and was never unprepared for a fight, but travelled light for most of his adventure across the tropical archipelago of Arcadia. Those who met him could always testify that he was a man who seemed ready to wander for miles and miles at a moment's notice.
