Merek Tetorak: Difference between revisions

With the ascension of [[Míra Kûlaron Tetorak]] to Queen, [[Merek Tetorak]] served alongside her as the Twelve Queen and King—a title that emphasized their balanced partnership. While Queen Míra ruled and oversaw all affairs of state, Merek’s duties remained purely those of protection and martial leadership. This division of roles was not only respected but revered, establishing a precedent for future Valorèin rulers. Their united reign would define the foundation of the [[Heroine’s Dynasty]] and set a golden standard for generations to follow.

== The Curse and the War of Deliverance ==
== The Curse, War, and Deliverance ==
Following their rebellion, the [[High Valorèin]] were afflicted by '''The Curse ([[Va Drothok]])''', a vampiric bloodline malediction placed by the [[Sherok]]. The Curse forced generations of Valorèin into blood dependency, spiritual turmoil, and societal fragmentation, with some—known as [[Shemèin]]—embracing the darkness and forsaking the afterlife for power.
War broke out, and with it, most of the [[Noble Houses (Valorèin)|Noble Houses]] fled to the [[Cities in the Stars]]. Amid the tragedy of [[The Curse (Valorèin)|The Curse]], the [[First-Flames]]—albeit too late—realized the magnitude of their error. Seeking to right their wrongs, they found [[Queen Míra]] and [[Merek Tetorak]], revealing that both had been chosen in the [[Pre-Existence (Lethurèa)|Pre-Existence]] to rule over their fellow spirits and lead the forces of light against [[Malis|Malis']] growing darkness.


Despite this, Merek and Míra united the [[Free Species]] and led a desperate campaign to defeat the [[Malisik Horde]] and the [[Dark Prophet (Lethurèa)|Malismorâ]]. They were granted the [[Elements of It'slâmwâ]] and legendary [[Blades of Evil’s Bane]], forged by [[Hauthen Miltharê]], to confront their greatest foes.
As a sign of this divine charge, Merek and Míra were granted the [[Elements of It'slâmwâ]]. The master Solar Smith [[Hauthen Miltharê]] forged for them the legendary [[Blades of Evil's Bane]], weapons destined to confront and defeat [[Malis|Malis']] chief lieutenant, the [[Dark Prophet (Lethurèa)|Malismorai]]. First, the pair delivered the [[Valorèin]] from [[Malisik]] captivity, guiding their people home to shattered worlds.
 
Merek and Míra then united the [[Free Species]] and set forth to destroy the [[Malisik Horde]] and [[Malismorâ]]. In the climactic confrontation, they proved themselves superior. At the final moment, atop the [[Gozog'nokan Observation Platform]], as they prepared to smite [[Malismorâ]]’s head from his shoulders, their foe begged for mercy. Instead of exacting vengeance, Merek Tetorak and Queen Míra showed pity, casting him into the [[Depths of Gozog'nok]] and sealing the Rift.

== Mercy and Legacy ==
At the climax of the war, Merek and Míra chose mercy, casting the defeated Malismorâ into the [[Depths of Gozog'nok]] and sealing the rift, rather than executing him. With the war ended, they founded the [[Shíkû Order]], the most elite warrior brotherhood of the era, and established the [[Heroine’s Dynasty]]—a golden age of unity, peace, and valor.

Their reign lasted for more than eighty millennia, and their lives became the standard by which all future generations measured greatness. In the end, they did not die, but answered the sacred [[Call of It'slâmwâ]], ascending peacefully beyond the mortal plane.
