Kestor Character in Aurora | World Anvil

Kestor

King Kestor , the 23rd

Kestor, the eternal ruler of Kestor's Past, is a figure entwined with mystical reincarnation through a crown. Over 600 years ago, inspired by a vision from the sea goddess Thassa, the founding Kestor transformed a humble fishing village into the thriving city it is today. The prophet Emissary of Thassa, God of the Sea bestowed upon Kestor a crown containing arcane magic, a gift from the goddess herself. This crown binds to its bearer until death, stealing a fraction of their soul, creating a reliquary of memories and personalities.   The crown's power ensures the city's safety and prosperity, echoing Thassa's promise. Successive rulers, each named Kestor, carry this mantle, becoming a vessel of accumulated wisdom and experiences. The crown, while granting quasi-immortality, extracts a price—each bearer loses a part of their essence, forever preserved within the crown's magic. Kestor the 23rd, the current monarch, wears this mantle with elegance, embodying both the burden and privilege of a soulful legacy.

Shaped by centuries of rulers who bore the crown and communed with Thassa, Kestor's connection to the divine is profound.

The vision that inspired the city's founding and the subsequent gift of the crown by Thassa's Emissary reinforced Kestor's belief in the goddess's direct influence.
