Lore & History

"Turn back- Come close! Seer of souls..." - The Circade

A hidden note in the Kith of Kings Enclave first tells the Envoy of the Circade. It reads the following:

The Seer Dale once drank the mist. Her eyes roiled round and spoke she this:
"Rise will he, in phantoms three.
Of Jotar claim, but steeped in greed.
Crypt be crippled, binds be cleft.
Where magicks wink, lay each to rest."

It is presumed that 'Seer Dale' in this note refers to the

Dale Seer

.

A noble of Clan Jotar, dubbed “The Circade” when he rose from his shallow grave, although it's not fully known when this happened. The Circade was a peculiar individual, for he had three separate souls, all tied to the time of day.

His dawn soul is a traitorous deceiver, rising with the blue sun to commit selfish deals and bargains. The dusk soul, a drunken rascal, woke when the red sun set to quench The Circade's thirst for ale. During darkest night is when his midnight soul arose. A fiendish shifter, they preferred to skulk around the dead of night when The Circade needed to flee.

Together, the three soul-brothers all sought the crown of Jotar, either by making a deal with a Lord, or by marrying into the royal lineage.

In the year of 639, when at last his body ceased to rise, The Circade was sealed away by command of the True Heir Jotar. His final resting place is a secret tomb within a Dermak mausoleum, where the Ashen Spirits of other nobles and soldiers refuse to rest quietly. A lonely grave for a shamed corpse best forgotten. The Elder Aithbhreac bound the three souls of The Circade to rest within the

Triune Talisman

, formed from the noble's three Pendants. As long as it remains whole, The Circade's souls will remain bound.
