Kanilwyr
Kanilwyr is an aspect of Lithmor and is the embodiment of knowledge, truth and memory. She is a mental aspect and exists within Kanilwyr's Plane. Overall, she represents knowledge but other concepts in her domain are honesty, revelation, memory and memorization. She is a prized aspect among scholars but is mistakenly perceived as truth when in reality, she represents what people believe to be truth or what is common knowledge--information which is known and is in circulation. She also represents honesty, the revelation of secrets and general open-ness. Meanwhile, all lost, forgotten, concealed or misperceived knowledge falls under her counterpart Irkath. |
Kaithur |
During the Era of Legends, the Erlithmanil gifted residents of Emynea with their magic. Over time, every lifeform on Emynea came to inherit two of these blessings. Passed down from parent to child genetically, they came to call these gifts Kaithur. Kaithur are named by the aspect a caster is connected to and by how they can use it--how they manifest their connection. Knowledge magic is common, especially in northern @Flumen Pontem, Sesli Plato and in Flumen Pontem. Highly prized by scholars and mages, those wield it tend to gain quirks or tendencies mirroring Kanilwyr herself! |

Appearance |
Abilities |
Kanilwyr is the embodiment of and mental expression of knowledge, truth, honesty and memory. All knowledge is a part of her, an extension of her and her power. Kanilwyr is capable of sensing, seeing or otherwise perceiving the memories and kowledge stored within every mind. She can even glean a person's history and past, carefully storing away memories of the living into her library until they die, at which point these memories are passed to Elbixur. Finally, like many mental aspects, Kanilwyr is able to feed off of knowledge, truth and memories as they occur, each having their own unique flavor.
As a mental aspect, she is unable to enter the physical world, existing only within the minds of Emyneans and within her plane. She can enter dreams and memories of anyone! However, she can only view the world through the minds and memories connected to her plane and all knowledge magic still pulls from her as their source. |
Known vs Unknown |
There is an unseen but constant tug of war, a concession of knowledge, between Irkath and Kanilwyr! They each share one half of a total omniscient, passing between them depending on what is known and what currently unknown to humanity, between what is concealed and what is common knoweldge. All known, circulated knowledge automatically belongs to Kanilwyr while all lost, forgotten or misperceived knowledge alongside secrets, lies, deceptions and the unknown falls belongs to Irkath. If information is concealed, it also belongs to Irkath. Finally, while Kanilwyr connects to the part of a person's mind that contains knowledge and memories of the living, Irkath connects to one's subconscious and to those memories which are forgotten or even repressed. |
