Lanival

Lanival (the Redeemer)

Leader of the winning side in the [?] War. Created the (approximate) boundaries of the five provinces as they are today.

Origins

Son of Sorril and Kanton. Sable was his twin sister. They were raised as orphans by Kanton's clan until it was absorbed by the Ram Clan of Akroeg. Became a wanderer.

Fall of the Empire

Seven hundred years after Akroeg and the crumbling of Akroeg's empire, Lanival began to unite clans again with the help of Sable, his sister. The war with Teiro, an elf, lasted twelve years, during which time Arhat, Uthmor, Ka'len and others served under him. The war ended with the Guardians Glacis, Eerayn, and Silduaa assisting Lanival in a final battle.

After the war

According to legend, Lanival was shortly thereafter ambushed near the Dragon Spine mountains by five elven assasins which, though it did not kill him, forced him into a sleep from which he will someday awake.

Books

There are several books involving Lanival. They include:

• Human Histories: Lanival's Tale, by Silvyrfrost
• An Account of the Elven Human War, by Rowan Windlyric

Legends

There is a story of a highly popular and well-received Paladin of the Gor'Togs who helped drive back the Dragon Priests. There are further claims that this Gor'Tog was Lanival returned. Since Lanival's mother was Elven and his father was Human, this claim is, of course, highly dubious to most knowledgable scholars, and the champion himself never substantiated these claims by acknowledging them.
