The Laie of Unos and Tiama

Posted in Gavin Wel, Orcus, the Archfey, The Dragongods on July 26, 2011 by coyoteandthunder

Unos and Tiama were wed
and ruled Khepathia
for the first one hundred years
of the fourth age

before the coming of Aoltha
daughter of Ehlonna
and council of the West Wind
wrought in fate

Aoltha did come with two sisters
called Loramnel and Peonopel.
With long hair each in black
and of comely youth in visage.


So much overwhelmed was Unos
by Aoltha’s beauty that he immediately
then fell in hopeless love
to the doom of his civic rule.

then, it is recounted that the
the King and the girl were not lovers.
He wished only for the peaceful shadow
that covered his heart when she neared.

Thunderbird, called Arethal,
warns the King of Aoltha’s move
to erect the FoeAm Totems
and the fateful portend.

It was by this ritual act then
that Aoltha gave immaculate birth
to Wee Jas, the mother of Fay magic
and there by opened untold portals-

portals that ushered in the many-fold
millions of populants in Old Khepathia,
the Demons and the Angels who walked
in peace for hundreds of years.

Wee Jas marries Firyen Bhendafel,
the Oromancer, the most recognized
raelfaen sorcerer throughout Old
Khepathia, one hundred years

before the coming of the elves
when the wilds began to creep into
the ancient metropolis
spelling the nearing end.

There was foulness in the heart
of Wee Jas and Queen Tiama took
her as niece and together the two
dreamed of a new world of magic.

Wee Jas goes to Maradyn and
meets Corol, the King of the Elves.
The two fall in love and are married
despite her already husband Firyen.

When men come first to Khepathia,
they were a team called The Silver March and The King and Queen
loved them.

As a gift to Men, Tiama had
the Oromancer forge three swords.
The Swords of Peace were smithed
in the creation forge at Eythiria.

The Swords of light were called
Anul Grei, for truth
Rend Grei, for civility and
Rendelreign, for home and hearth.

In 2145 of the Raelfaen’s fourth epoch
was the Tearing of Tiamat.
The beautiful demon Prince Orcus
of Unos’ royal court is the cause.

He learns that Unos had bedded Aoltha
and the wedding of Corol and Wee Jas.
In a moment of unseen doom under bright moon in the cold winter,

he reveals all he knows to the open court
and no one could have fortold
the rage of the noble queen
who cursed her name and heart for all.

Becoming then, chromatic Tiamat,
She cursed the Swords of Light
to be the Swords of Doom
and forever left Kepathia.

The throne she cursed and
gave forever to Aoltha,
who she then called
the Raven Queen, for all time.

Orcus, left bereft, steals the
Swords from the Silver March
and scatters them amongst
evil men and ogre mages.

Forever shall the races of Men
and Orcin kind be doomed to war
at this act of betrayal and theft
by the demon prince.

Firyen, now of the shadows,
become the Anathemancer
and hides under the shadow road
forever hidden from his shame.

Unos, alone and now wild, leaves
the throne of Khepathia to mortals
and goes to the forests of the Elves
and lives with Corol.

Corol, then following called
Corellon Larethian is forever the
elven lord of magic.
Unos plans to restore his honor in battle.

He takes the name Bahamut
and merges the North Star with
his divine heart,
becoming the Platinum dragon.

Corellon and Bahamut
create the three Swords of Glory
to balance the reaping vengeance
of the Swords of Doom.

the first sword is Larissa and it is given to Valen Gildensong to begin a mighty
kindgom in the warm western lands
beyond the mountains Khepathia.

The next is given to King Rheindahl
as he is the first mortal king of the
new city of Gavin Wel,
or Truthful words in old common

This is the Stickarein Blade,
the bright blade who would
forever be fated to be wielded
by one of Bahamut’s champions.

The origin and fate of the third sword
remains in mystery and
shrouded in prophecy
to this day.

With the rising of the Necropolis Oessensia in South County, legions of horrid warriors that are not alive but rather only seem to be wrath incarnate, march with cruel decision towards the Cities of Men and Feykin.

Orasia, a warcaster priestess of Orcus who aided Damarius in invoking the Orcus Star to flare and shine upon Grakunibognai.

GrakuniBognai. the beautiful and ancient Eladrin baths, once so lovingingly cared for by the Bullywogs, and then so blatantly vandalized by the forces of Orcus. Then liberated again by the Wolfmoon Consortium of the Talisman one month before the new year 1111, of the 6th age.
