Keryth'rina was created by Belegchand (mcalo)
My Fellow Travancians,

Tonight is the night for the observation of Keryth'rina, the Elven holiday of Memorium. As much of our population is made up of Selendrians and Quinarians, I feel it necessary to enlighten the rest of the citizenry of the holiday.

Keryth'rina is a holiday which remembers the lives lost of the Elven people back during the time of the Old World. Here is the tale:


Shortly after the horrid army abolished the gnomes, Uelrog set his sights on the elves. The Elven kingdom was debatably the most glorious and powerful of all the civilizations in the old world, however this was to change soon after the arrival of Uelrog. The storm was powerful and had occupied the attention of the elves. They had not even thought to perform their normal scrying of the boundaries, for they figured none would be out and about in this weather. The storm had made the visibility poor and the sound of heavy rain and thunder would mask the sounds of the approaching army. The Elven watchmen were paralyzed with fear when they saw the mighty beast that was Uelrog. Just when they were beginning to regain their senses Uelrog was upon them and the poor watchmen were picked up, eaten, thrown or smashed. Uelrog then lifted his massive arms up into the air and ripped down the walls so that his army of darkness may begin its siege and slaughter. The elves were taken completely by surprise. Many were not ready for battle and were unarmed; those who were armed were helplessly beaten to death by the mighty fists of Uelrog. The chaos army had wiped out massive amounts of the elves and was suffering little to no casualties. Meanwhile Uelrog destroyed the kingdoms walls, the houses, castles and towers, until nothing was left standing tall.

At the far end of the Elven kingdom and as much as it pained them to do so, the twelve Elven elders, and a handful of elite warriors were preparing to depart. They knew that they were leaving their city in the hands of destruction, but they knew also that their was nothing they could do to prevent it, and that the other kingdoms must be warned. They rode off against the fury of the storm on the greatest of Elven steeds, in hope that they would arrive at the human empire of Kormyre in time to make a difference.

The massacre had gone on for almost half a day, and the Elven kingdom was set ablaze. Well over half of the Elven population died that day and most of the Elven civilization was razed to the ground with the destructive force of Uelrog, everything else tasted the flames of a torch. Although there were many more elves left, Uelrog seemed to be satisfied with the massive death and destruction that they had already caused. Uelrog began to call his army back to the gates so that they may continue on and leave the pitiful survivors to wallow in their brothers’ blood.

And as we remember the lives lost that day, we honor those who have past on since then. In my home back in Quinaria, we have a prayer we say on this day.
Almighty Arawyn, the First and the Last, Creator of Our World, give us your blessing so that we may honor our fallen.

Almighty Valos, King of Light, God of Justice, ensure those who died with valor and honor are granted the peace they deserve.

Almighty Andorra, Queen of Compassion, Goddess of Love, watch over those whom we held dear as they pass from this world into the next.

Almighty Gaia, Beacon of Purity, Goddess of Life, help those of us who live cherish that gift and never allow it to be wasted.

Almighty Galladel, Guardian of Souls, God of the Spirit, judge our fallen, and protect those who deserve it on their way to happiness.

Almighty Brazen, Master of Craftsmen, God of Creation, construct for us everlasting monuments of the fallen, so they may be with us always.

Almighty Enax, Defender of the Land, God of the Law, defend those who follow them, so that they may be blessed with happiness beyond the veil.

Almighty Chronicler, Keeper of the Great Story, God of Eternal Knowledge, record all those who have fallen so that they may live forevermore, and transcribe the horrors of our world, lest we forget.

And now, as a final recognition of those who have fallen, I invite everyone in Travance, be you of any other race or faith, to write the names of those who have passed on, whether they died yesterday, or a thousand years ago.

Travance, you have seen your share of troubles. Your people have seen heartbreak and pain. They have stared at death in the face. But you continue on, you endure. Your people endure. So, tonight, the night of memories of those who are gone, we remember, lest we forget.

May the Gods bless you, everyone.

Loremaster Belegchand Dìnephilin, Quinarian

Thank you everyone who has added names to this sheet.

Despite the end of the official observance, I still beseech any who wish to add names to this list to do so, whether today or any other time in the future. We should honor our fallen every day, not just one day of the year, and hopefully this list will serve as an eternal reminder to us of what kind of world we live in, so that we may live our lives to the fullest while we are still here.

To add my own names:

  • Mother Arothathar Dìnephilin, Chief Healer of the City of Tirioswyena, Priestess of Andorra
  • Loremaster Brannist Dìnephilin, Master of the Red Strand

Thank you all for your time, and may you find comfort and solace in remembering those who have passed.
