House of the Rising Phoenix - Great Library

Phoenix in History

The scrolls herein contain not only the history of Elanthia as passed down through the ages, but the place the great House of the Rising Phoenix has held throughout that history.

II. B. The Arkati's Guidance

Although actual war between the Arkati would never come to pass they waged battle in another way. This battle was waged for dominance over the lesser races in followers and worshipers. Each Arkati used different methods at their disposal and many took on much of the same personalities as the Drakes they had served before the coming of the Ur-Daemons and the Drakes withdrawl from Elanith.

The Lords of Liabo such as Eonak, the master of the forge, walked among the Dwarven races and adopted them as his children, and thus called them "Folk of the Stone". Lorminstra taught the worth of ones life and soul. Upon death that soul passed through the Ebon Gate into the fields of Heaven and Lorminstra's waiting embrace. While Kai taught the beauty of battle and war, the simple art of a weapons forging and how it becomes an extension of yourself as you weild it.

While those who had allied with Lord Koar thought to gain followers by simple teaching and nurturing, those allied with Eorgina, The Lords of Lornon, often had different methods. Luukos, the snake-god, would lure unknowing souls into his grasp and would twist them into his servants, V'tull relished in the bloodlust of battle, the art of destruction and carnage that war ensues and their queen, Eorgina, The goddess of Darkness.

Although the Arkati were divided between the two. There were those Arkati, aside from those who sided with Koar and those who did not, many took a more neutral stance. Charl, even tho he sided with Koar and as such is a Lord of Liabo his temper is similiar to that of V'tull himself. Zelia, the Goddess of moons and Madness as well as Lumnis, the goddess of Knowledge have remained opened.

There are also those powerful beings, although not labeled as Arkati, are mystical beings in their own rights. These are often called spirits or lesser gods, but unless another break in the natural order of the Gods Heirarchy was to occur this is the way of the world.
