Sevotar

In the beginning, before the known world of Braan came to be, earlier thanpeople had ever been imagined, there were 4 Cryators and in their power they were absolute. These were the beings of Aery'll's (including Aery'll's herself) that shaped the world and it's skies in times when there was nothing.
Shortly after their birth, Aery'll, divided her thought further to create the Sevotar, beings of equal power to the Cryators, but with the purpose of aiding them.

SEVOTAR


Elodi - The Seedmaker

Elodi was the first of the Sevotar, and she was the one to make the seed of Eala at Aery'll's side. Under Aery'll's will, she nurtured the seed in the golden plains of Fallanor until the time came that Aery'll would call down the Ephroner's power to eradiate life into the seed and cause it to grow. Feeling blessed to have impressed Aery'll, Elodi made it her life's purpose to care for the tree's growth. During all the years that followed, she made the Gardens of Elodi, surrounding the Great Tree with magnificent plants. Elodi left Fallanor only when the Cryators called for Braan to be filled with verdant life. Much later in her existence, after the birth of the Children of Eala, she created the first halflings and gnomes from the last sap of the Great Tree of Fallanor.  

Manlu - The Wanderer

Second of the Sevotar was Manlu, he was Aery'll's observer. He was chosen to oversee all that was done by her will, but he must also record and learn. Because of this Manlu became respected most by the other Sevotar for his wisdom. He and Era would often travel the land of Fallanor together, and thereafter the mainlands. From her he would learn more than he first perceived, because she was able to change what he had already seen. Manlu never had a single place of living, and instead felt more comfortable travelling forever. But his trail could always be found by following the signs. Manlu's powers were rare, but were shown to their greatest extent when Aery'll was harmed fatally by Mortai. He stretched the space of reality between the two Cryator's, and the Cryator of Evil was contained for many years to come while the forces of Aery'll battled Mortai's armies. Manlu was the one to name Cassiel the 'true' being of Death.  

Norsom - Lord of the Hunt

Norsom was the third of the Sevotar, and is brother of Erom, Lady of Beasts. As Lord of the Hunt he was the greatest hunter and his purpose was to teach that nothing must be taken in greed, only in need. He worked most closely with Érom to create the circle of life that exists in the wilds of the mainlands. Before the times, Norsom lived in the northern forests of Fallanor. It was there that he found solitude was his greatest ally, where he enjoyed his own thoughts. From here, Norsom became much closer with the Cryator of Seas, Maren, who also enjoyed the solitude of the ocean. In the Endless War, Norsom scouted the forests of the mainlands, single-handedly wiping out entire bastions of demon forces. Norsom lead the War of Flames against the Mornfal during the Fall of Tarminos, a now lost city.   This was the first battle that the Eldars joined, and they were equally amazed and fearful of Norsóm's fire, which burned as brilliantly as the Ephroner.  

Erom - Lady of Beasts

Fourth of the Sevotar was Erom, twin sister of Norsom. As the Lady of Beasts it was her task to see the world be lived on by creatures of nature and her brother saw that predator and prey made a cycle of balance in the animal kingdom. With her brother, she roamed the mainlands and began to fill Elodi's fields and forests with life. From her mind she would imagine what must exist, and by Aery'll's will the Ephroner would lend it's power to Erom. During the Battle of Eternal Fires, Erom supported her brother with armies of beasts  

Era - Harbinger of Change

Era is the fifth Sevotar to be born from Aery'll's thought, and she is unlike any of the other Sevotar for she took pity upon Mortai even after the Endless War began. In the beginning she was given Aery'll's will of change, and by Era's heart the world around her would shift and bring about the seasons of the land. In the mainlands, she and Manlu roamed the changing environments, and throughout her gaze would wander to the sky, where the sunlit moon would always stare back at her. Manlu knew it was not wise, but she went to Aery'll and learned of Mortai's goals. Until now there was only Fall and Rise, Autumn and Summer. But now her heart was filled with sorrow and it caused winter to cover the land and stop all growth. She visited Mortai on many occasions in secret and in the end she was responsible for releasing him from his prison. After the Endless War began, Era took Mortai's side but found difficulty in fighting with her brethren.  

Eredir - The Sentient

As the sixth Sevotar, Lady Eredir was given Aery'lls will to love and nurture, heal and protect the things around her. It was after Era's sadness brought winter unto the mainlands that Lady Eredir was given her purpose. She was responsible for thawing the world and rejuvenating it so that the Cryators and Sevotar did not waste their efforts. Thanks to Lady Eredir, Spring began. As the most empathetic of the Sevotar, Lady Eredir became very close with the Eldars and personally tended to the wounded of the War of the Flames. She taught the Eldars the art of healing. She was most close to Elodi and Erom, tending to their land and beasts. When she was not roaming Fallanor, she was at Aery'll's side with the then similarly untitled Deimors.  

Mythril - The Demiurge

Eighth of the Sevotar was Mythril, and he was Kaar most loyal disciple and friend throughout the rule of Aery'll and the creation of the mainlands. In the Golden Mountain of Fallanor, Mythril learned all that he could from Kaar in shaping the land into something more useful. In time, Mythril's expertise moved further than what Kaar could perceive and in time to follow Mythril became known as the 'god beneath the mountain' to the Eldars. During the Endless War, Mythril played a vital role in forging the weapons of the eldars and other Sevotar that battled. During the events of the Battle of Eternal Fires, Mythril was captured by Mortai and brainwashed by Shelnor. After being saved by Gadireel, Mythril focused his efforts to create more powerful weapons that would assure the victory of Aery’ll. When Kaar sacrificed himself, he bequeathed his hammer, Volig, to Mythril, granting who was once simply 'the Smith' a much greater power.  

Deimors - Lady of Wrath

'When wrath walks the world... none will know peace.' That is the legend of Deimors, Lady of Wrath, the ninth Sevotar. Deimos's purpose was made as an afterthought, the lingering last moments of Aery’ll’s consciousness. It was also in part to Deimors' own vengeful spirit that her purpose took shape as wrath. It was as Manlu used his strength to capture Mortai in a different realm, and when Lady Eredir and Elodi sought to heal Aery’ll’s wounds, that Deimors finally emerged, her power blasting across Fallanor, causing a blood-rage. She leaped across the land and immediately impaled Mortai in the Manlu’s realm, and so great was her strength that it threw him far back into the mainlands. This marked the beginning of the End Days. During this time, Deimors hunted down Mortai more ravenously than her predecessors. Deimors met her end when she defeated Colussar after the sacrifice of the three Cryators, vanishing and presumably dying.  

Cassiel - The Still and Silent

The tenth Sevotar descended upon the world during the End Days, when Aery’ll was defeated. The skies had been dark, and the Ephronir's light was barely piercing through the clouds summoned by Mortai from his battlefield in the eastern reaches of the mainlands. It was her birthright to reap all evil, and as Manul described, she was what Mortai was meant to be. She was the impartial Sevotar of Death. She was first seen arriving to battle at the end of the War of Flames. This was a battle that was quickly turning against the forces of Aery’ll, and so when Cassiel appeared all around her words ceased and action stopped. She created stillness - and in that motionless silence - all stopped to look upon her and in their dying breath know peace once more. The suffering soldiers of Aery’ll were chosen and liberated, ending their lives swiftly and with pity. The forces of Mortai similarly met a fate of death when they stepped too close to Cassiel. She was later seen in the final attack to reclaim Manamar, destroying waves of Mornfal in a single sweep of her blade.  

Gadirel - The Warbringer

Eleventh was Gadirel, known as the Warbringer, and he was the strategist of the Sevotar as they battled Mortai. During the time that Cassiel's shape was taking form, so to was Gadirel's. From the blood of Aery’ll that touched the Great Tree, his form took shape. Unlike his twin sister, however, he first appeared on Fallanor and communed with the Cryators and Sevotar that were not present at the Fall of Tarminos at the end of the War of Flames. He reassured them, and quickly turned his own attention to a different area entirely within the mainlands. He suspected a secret army of Mortai to be somewhere else. Gadirel was right, and brought war to the south-western area of the mainlands, known now as Talrond. It's said his war blackened the mountains with the blood of the mornfal.  

Gevurah - The Judge

The last of the Sevotar was Gevurah, and he was the only one not born from Aery’ll's thought. Instead, he was previously the Titan Malthar - The Witness. As the twelfth Sevotar, he had witnessed and seen right from wrong, and had known pity and shame. His new name would not pass down far into history, lost to time and unknown to many of the Sevotar he became a mystery, and even an untrusted ally to the Sevotar that met him. He was then commonly called the Grim Reaper, or the Great Judge. It was his purpose to descend upon Braan and reap the souls of the dead that died after wilting. He would pluck their soul and read their history as it played out before him. By his hand, he would dot the sky with their souls as bright and precious stars, or he would deem them unworthy and toss their souls into the nothingness beyond Aery’ll's creation.
