Kas'arath

History
Known under the titles of The Ravager, Kas'arath the Ravager, Kahar's Bane, the Scourge of Fastheld, He Who Destroys, and the Tyrant of Dragonspine, Kas'arath was a terrifying creature that menaced the realm of Fastheld during the years of 624 and 625 ATA.

A Dracolich by creature, Kas'arath was, to put it lightly, an Undead Shadow-Touched abomination. Accidently released back into the world of the living by Alieron Mikin's numerous blunders and misguided crusades during a campaign to slander the Emperor and steal the Throne for himself, Kas'arath was cunning, devious, and evil beyond all measure.

He was the counterpart to the Dragoness Aisha'Taria, and responsible for the death of Gell Mikin, the total destruction of Light's Reach, the abduction of Talus Kahar XIV, the near destruction of Aegisport, the deaths of thousands of Fastheldians, and - partially - the demolition of the Citadel of Halo.

The above account is merely the damage wrought by Kas'arath over the course of one year. Few people speak of what would have befallen the realm had he been remained to exist unchecked, though very few people speak praises of the creature(s) that stopped him.

He was destroyed in 625 ATA by Aisha'Taria, who - in turn - destroyed herself in the process. However, though very little is known in regards to what actually transpired below Halo in the aftermath of that epic conflict, Kas'arath's apparent "death" herladed the return of a creature that is believed to be the most powerful creature among all of the realms: Kalath'aria the Instrumentalist.

Supposition
The Monks and Scholors that dwell within the walls of the great library citadel known as The Stanchion put forth that Aisha'Taria and Kas'arath were both elements of the same being, torn apart during or after the event known as the Cataclysm. The events that transpired after that sundering of the Sapphire Drake remains lost to history, but it is assumed that the two halves of the Instrumentalist either fought each other directly, or indirectly as part of two different forces.

Whatever the circumstances, it is assumed that whatever ancestral group that the Church of True Light is descended from betrayed both creatures, and sealed them away in astoundingly powerful wards deep below the surface of what is now Fastheld.

How or why those wards failed remains an equally large mystery; but what is known is that the sum became vastly greater than her parts, and that the realm has yet to see if having an eternally powerful Dragoness as a neighbour will bring about either salvation, or damnation...
