[KNIGHT] Kersh Lord Kersh, Elf Healer of the Light was as odd a sort as one will ever see. He started life deep in study, and before his 20th rank, had mastered most of his prayers. Those that knew him figured that he would be an easy in for the Halls of Mystic, which at the time were inducting widely. I believe that Kersh indeed considered this an option, but when his parents were slaughtered by the Fire Giant clan from the mountains overlooking the Elven Valley, Kersh decided a more 'hands on' approach was more reasonable. He applied to the Knights of Valour before even his 30th birthday. He was inducted during a time when the Knights were being assaulted on every side by the Fist of Darkhan. Unfortunately, with the balance swinging the way of Darkness at the time, a group was very hard to come by, and Kersh's ranking from his 30th to his 50th took quite some time. He reached his 50th rank, and finally was able to join the war against the Darkness with body and soul. He was a constant traveling companion with Lord Yilhet, Executor of Valour. Kersh, ever the explorer, sought to slay Iggilwiv of the Faction of Magic, which he did twice, without help, earning him the nickname Kershilwiv for all the items of Iggilwiv he wore. Lord Kersh took the mantle of Leadership when Lord Yilhet abdicated. It was said that Lord Yilhet shed a single tear as he disappeared into the forest, after granting Kersh Executor. Kersh led the Knights competently, though there was not any direct conflict except with those of Darkness. Kersh, older than any Elf in Thera, began battling a brain sickness, which led him to believe he was avian. At one point, Kersh even attempted to surgically attach two unworking wings to his back, to better be an avian. He stepped down as Leader, due to his mental state. Later, in his elderly years, Lord Aberdour graced Kersh with the mantle of Executor, when Lord Aberdour cleansed the Knights of all members, and began a rebuilding stage. Kersh stayed on as Executor, just to have some old blood, when the new blood came into the Halls. His 2nd reign of Executor, while brief, brought the Knights into the Future. He passed the mantle to the best of the new recruits, Lord Arkhalis, and finally departed Thera forever, the oldest Elf in Thera. [KNIGHT] Arkhalis Lord Arkhalis, Elven Paladin of the Light, was the most aggressive Knight Executor that Thera had ever seen. Coming from humble beginnings, Arkhalis came to Seringale to make a name for him, slay those of Darkness, and join the Halls of Valour, to lead them into the face of adversity. He did all these with gusto. He was quick to rank to his 50th rank, although he was welcomed to the 50th rank first by Resatimm, Lord of Darkness, in his mortal years, and then Zylenier, Mirror of Death. After attaining his 50th rank, he quickly became a thorn in the side of the Legion, slaying all those who were unfortunate enough to battle him. He was granted the title of Executor by Lord Kersh after consultation with Lord Aberdour, for his Valour in battle, and his dedication to the Light. Lord Arkhalis emerged as one of the 'elite' elves to grace Thera. Arkhalis was at the top, when all of a sudden, he disappeared. Word is, that the Assassin Zylenier, gated into his place of slumber, and slew him with such evil, that his body, while still robust, decayed into nothingness. There may be some confusion about Lord Arkhalis. Records show that there was an elven Paladin named Arkhalis at the beginning of the 2nd age. I have checked out this allegation and discovered that the Arkhalis mentioned, is the grandfather of Lord Arkhalis, who became Executor. Valour runs in the blood, it seems!
