Katarath

"I have seen many things people would deem ridiculous, I have been allowed to see inside the realm of Irion where our creators live, I have seen all of Egion up until this point and now I like Luir have been appointed as a protector of the realm." - High Elf Lord Katarath speaking to Ether

Katarath was a forest elf that lived within the region of Siriene after the elf kingdom split into two where he eventually became the High Elf Lord of all elves across Egion, Katarath alongside Luir became the two designated protectors of the realm by the Atia making them the two oldest and wisest beings having lived across multiple eras providing protection to the realm if world threats such as Ether were to return to try and destroy the realm that the Atia had made.

The Elf Kingdom
Before Katarath became the lord of Siriene he was a general and advisor to an elf king that ruled over a large portion of Egion which Katarath and Luir, who was the other general, would watch over the land and reported straight back to the king. During his reign Katarath began to witness the slow decline of his land with elves suffering and being blatantly ignored by their ruler, even though he had now seen this Katarath still kept his loyalty to his king and to hope that his kingdom would heal in time. Katarath's main role was to train and recruit new elves into the kingdom's army which was mainly done due to the news of the constant human kingdoms fighting each other for power over one another, Katarath did his job well and with his weapon Moonshard he stood at the helm of the military power within the elf kingdom, the sword itself was handed to Katarath by his king as he showed intuition for fighting and defending his people with the sword being made with a single shard of Egion's moon imbued within the blade. When the Atia created the elves it was stated that Katarath's very soul was one of the purest souls within the realm with nothing being able to taint it allowing for him to battle off the darkness that was surrounding the realm at the time.

Ether's Rule
Before Ether entered Egion the elves were the only powerful kingdom that he had deemed a threat to his plans and so to ensure that they would not stop him he would slowly begin to corrupt the elves including the king however Katarath would not be affected by this which allowed him to escape the corrupted elves including his own king. During the corruption of his kingdom Katarath would seek aid from Luir who was also falling under the darkness that now stemmed from their king which led Katarath to fight Luir who would eventually lose allowing for Katarath to imbue some of his power into Luir making him immune to the corrupt powers that Ether was putting into the elves. With the two now in control of themselves they would exile themselves away from their kingdom in search of aid to help restore their kingdom out from the darkness where they both would be guided to Robern who was currently amassing a human army in preparation to stop Ether from dominating all of Egion, the two elf lords would provide help with training and recruitment for Robern with the condition that he would help them slay the conduit to Ether's power in the elf kingdom that being the elf king.

After providing a newly trained army for Robern the two elf lords alongside Robern would venture back to the elf kingdom to stop the elf king, with the combined strength of all three individuals allowed them to destroy elf king and restoring the elf kingdom back to its original state where Luir and Katarath would work together to maintain peace for their kingdom and reroute their army to eventually come to Robern's aid. With the kingdom restored the two elf lords worked on fully eradicating any darkness from the elves that remained but this would take longer than they expected as there were still many elves that had not been fixed leading the two to travel across the kingdom searching for them, this task was timely but due to their efforts they managed to fully restore their kingdom now allowing themselves to march their army all the way to the centre of Egion where Robern had amassed his human army to meet the Nightmare Horde which at this time had grew in strength and numbers having the power to overpower Robern's army with ease, after a short battle a small group of humans alongside Robern would remain however they would not back down showing the human's true bravery in the face of darkness however they would be saved by Katarath and Luir who had just managed to reach them with their elf army allowing Robern to cast Ether back to Irion where the other Atia could imprison him so that he would not be able to return to the realm.

Siriene
With Robern banishing Ether from Egion the elf kingdom would not have a leader as both Katarath and Luir did not want to accept the mantle after what had happened to their king and so they agreed to split the kingdom into two separate kingdoms which now would make it more difficult for someone to have full power over the elves, Katarath would set up the southern elf kingdom of Siriene where the elves adapted to living in the trees becoming a new species of elves being Forest Elves who became efficient elf warriors thanks to their training bestowed upon them by Lord Katarath who was only a lord at the time. Many years would pass with Katarath becoming wiser and gaining more knowledge about the realm even rumoured to have had visions of the future and some future events that could potentially destroy the realm, having these traits and abilities would make Luir propose that Katarath now be seen as the High Elf Lord making him the true ruler over both elf kingdoms however maintaining his power within Siriene.

Due to both Luir and Katarath's fair ruling and protecting of the realm the two would be granted by the Atia to be immortal if they could be the two protectors of the realm from any threat that threaten the destruction of the realm, the two would accept their new positions and now provided as some of the wisest and oldest beings within the realm for years to come.
