Korvul Mored

Summary/Background
The founding Archdruid of the Angelmoon Circle and the man most directly responsible for the Battle of Devil's Moon, Korvul Mored lived multiple lifetimes through extensive use (and possibly abuse) of Druidic magic. As a devotee of the Old Ways, Korvul Mored saw the Pantheon as a direct threat to his way of life, and grew furious when the High Templars of Setosh conquered and occupied the Druidic village that would later become Moredhal and Blackwall in 809 DY. Quietly making pacts with the Lunar Fey, Korvul Mored began working a weave of magic in secret, and tore open a permanent portal to Elua in 817 DY that transposed parts of Elua's alien Fey ecosystem with the Moredhal environs. Fleeing through the portal to Elua proper to seek sanctuary among the Lunar Fey and avoid the High Templars' wrath, the Battle of Devil's Moon marked the defining and final moments of Korvul Mored's many lives. Ultimately, Korvul Mored was captured by Saint Talia Malyssia's High Templars, and in attempting to escape certain public execution was killed by a Lunar Fey's Mooncrystal arrow. Korvul Mored's corpse was left behind fleeing the angry Fey, and shortly after his death the Battle of Devil's Moon ended with the destruction of the Devil's Moon Gate.

However, Korvul Mored's final life was not his first, and the High Templars' delving into the history of the Angelmoon Circle revealed Korvul Mored had at least four previous lives.

First Life
Korvul Mored's first known life began c.500 DY as a male Northlander Human. Presumably born in Moredhal, Korvul Mored spent a lifetime learning the Druidic arts and married another Druid, Halla Mored. When Korvul Mored died c.550 DY, Halla Mored oversaw his reincarnation.

Second Life
Korvul Mored's second known life began c.550 DY following reincarnation as a female Kyorian Human. By the laws of their tribe, Halla Mored was no longer required to remain with Korvul, and neither Korvul nor Nalla wished to renew their marriage for another lifetime, parting amicably. Korvul Mored went on to have two husbands in her second life, Einar Kalfson and, following his death, Skuf Vandurson, and continued studying the Druidic arts while raising her children. By the time of Korvul Mored's second death c.615 DY, her powers had grown sufficiently that she had attracted the attention of the Fey and they assisted her reincarnation.

Third Life
Korvul Mored's third known life began c.615 DY following reincarnation as a male Sylvani. As before with Halla Mored, Skuf Vandurson had no desire to remain with a male Korvul Mored and another marriage dissolved. Korvul Mored's Elven features and extensive magical abilities quickly led him to the first of three wives, Ljufa Mored, and after her death he remarried to Estrid Mored. Estrid Mored died in childbirth during Korvul's absence as he fought the encroachment of the High Templars during the Travian Conquests, and after his return he married Asta Mored, his final wife in that incarnation. Korvul Mored's return to the battlefield years later resulted in his third death c.700 DY, and his body was returned to Moredhal and subsequently reincarnated again.

Fourth Life
Korvul Mored's fourth known life began c.700 DY following reincarnation as a female Sylvani. Asta Mored remained married to Korvul Mored for several years, but died of old age c.704 DY. As before, Korvul's Elven features and magical capabilities earned her many suitors, and she married three more times in her life, first to Valgard Ulfsson. When he died in combat during an Orcish raid, Korvul married her 5th wife, Ragnhild Mored, and then married her 4th husband, Leidolf Eiriksson, when she died of old age c.750 DY. By then, Korvul Mored's magical and political powers neared their apex, and she attracted the attentions of the High Templars in the form of an assassination to break a stalemate in the Travian Conquests c.780 DY.

Fifth Life
Korvul Mored's fifth and final life began c.780 DY following reincarnation into another male Northlander Human. Korvul's husband Leidolf was killed in the same assassination effort that had killed Korvul, and he quickly remarried, taking his 6th and final wife, Ranveig Mored, c.782 DY. Awaiting the birth of their first grandchild in 809 DY, the aging pair were incensed by the arrival of the High Templars at the Angelmoon Circle proper and their subsequent occupation. While Korvul Mored was slain by the Lunar Fey, Ranveig Mored was instead captured by the High Templars and returned to Seedorus for public execution in the aftermath of the Battle of Devil's Moon.
