Ksathra, along with Mehrwen, was the last sister priest-empresses of Pelghain.
Biography[]
Ksathra enjoyed traveling to far lands and leaving her mark on them.[2] She also taught the early people of Pelghain to sail and fight in the bladedancing style, which was the catalyst for their expansion.[3]
As the power of the empresses winnowed, they argued over the direction to take their people. Ksathra suggested uplifting a few so that they could shepherd their fellows, which Mehrwen said that it would be better to provide a small amount of power to all, that none may claim dominion.[4] It is widely believed that Ksathra struck the first blow in anger.[5] The result was a civil war that destroyed the empire, and left the Cold Isles beset by storm and sea.[6]
In posterity, that Ksathra struck against Mehrwen in anger is considered the only lingering blotch upon her legacy.[5] The legend of Xekorendaag states that the empresses' fury cursed the Isles so long as their descendants remained on Pelghain. When the people began to brave the deluges and hurricanes, arrogantly building tall cities and monuments, a great serpent drove into their settlements, consuming families and carving the isles apart as it did. Reproached, the people moved their settlements away from the capital, and the serpent faded to memory.[7]
