The '''Aldar''' of | The '''Aldar''' of the Mythos were created to serve the [[Elder Gods]], and they are predecessors to the [[Celani]] of today. They spent their time exploring the [[multiverse]], building and studying the art of magic. They also played a pivotal role in shaping our world and history as we know it. They are best known for their roles in the [[War of Humanity]]. | ||

:''There are several Aldar of note from ancient times. The following is a list of just a few documented Aldar from [[Achaea|Achaean]] mythology. | |||
;'''[[Caymus]]''' : The greatest prophet in history, he saw and stated the [[Twin Prophecies]] - that [[Proteus]] would be overthrown and replaced as leader of the [[Gods]] and that Maya would bear twins who, though not Aldar, would have the potential to rival them in power someday. | |||
[[Caymus]], [[ | |||
;''' | ;'''[[Dekalb]]''' : He discovered [[Maya]] after she was raped by the [[Unnamable Horror]]. Known for his loyalty to and humble manner before the Gods, he and his faction of Aldar fought for the Gods' side in the War of Humanity. He was slain by the battlemaster Yen-Sorte and would go down in history as the first Aldar ever murdered in what became known as the [[Great Betrayal]]. | ||
;'''[[Han-Silnar]]''' : Brother of Han-Tolneth and protege to [[Khalas]], he was very xenophobic in attitude. He called the Great Council to try to convince Han-Tolneth and Dekalb to fight with the [[Triumvirate (mythos)|Triumvirate]]. After the war, the [[Tribunal]] sentenced Han-Silnar to serve [[Lorielan]] in the [[Crystal Realm]]. | |||
;''' | ;'''[[Han-Tolneth]]''' : While xenophobic like his brother Han-Silnar, he had great respect for the Gods in general, particularly Proteus. Thus, he resolved to support and respect Proteus' decision to give [[Ceylon]] to the [[humans]]. He arrived near the end of the War of Humanity with the [[Greater Dragons]], earning himself the title of "Dragonmaster" as a result. Han-Tolneth was the first Celani and can now be found on the Greater Dragons' [[planes|plane]] of [[Parthren Gare]]. | ||
;'''[[Mantru]]''' : He was the chief architect among the Aldar. He is credited with designing [[Ceylon]], the Golden Land of the Dawn and [[:Category:Adventurer races|racial]] homeland of the humans. | |||
; | ;[[Maya]] : Arguably the most famous Aldar, she was eventually to become Creatrix and Supreme Being of Achaea. In ancient times, she was raped by the [[Unnamable Horror]]; from this travesty, the first humans - [[Sinope]] and [[Callisto]] - were born. After the close of the [[Chaos Wars]], she was elevated to Godhood by [[Sarapis]] to watch over her children. Later still, She merged with [[Makali]], Goddess of Destruction, to become leader of the [[Garden of the Gods|Garden]] in Sarapis' stead. | ||
;'''[[Yen-Sorte]]''' : He was Han-Silnar's battlemaster and legendary for his combat prowess. He turned on Dekalb and his faction after being ordered to by the manipulated Han-Silnar. He was slain in battle by the God of Combat, [[Matsuhama]]. | |||

;'''[[Meran'tir]]''' : The first of the [[Lorewardens]], he was an Aldar from the time of the Chaos Wars. Devoting himself to knowledge and wisdom, he built the [[Library of the Ancients]] with the help of his two sons. He later perished in a fierce battle against Prince [[Slith]]. | |||
;''' | ;'''[[Candlemas]]''' : The last of the Lorewardens, he wrote books within the Library of the Ancients that detail its history. Though he, too, was slain at some point, he lingers as an ethereal [[ghosts|ghost] in what remains of the library in [[Azdun|Azdun Dungeon]]. | ||
