Malvata and the Malavotins

  • Many stories and relics across the world tell of Malvata and the Malavotins. Though their civilization fell long ago during an uprising by the Elior, fragments of their teachings survive. Their religion, known as the Kyrgozan Faith, is no longer actively practiced, yet its cosmology, centered around the Sapin Gorot Vatility and the Primordial Gods, continues to be studied due to its striking claims about creation across multiple realities. The Reynixian tongue itself endures among the old-world peoples, allowing scholars to translate surviving texts, even though the exact location of Malvata remains unknown.

The Rise of the Elior

  • Through some of our colleagues in the Inser Foundation, we learned that some of the older Elior were children when the Malavotins became extinct. History tells us that the Malavotins discovered not just a Tervine Shard, but the original stone from which it came. Using its power, they gifted themselves abilities unseen by any before them. In time, they developed the power to see the future. Because of this, the Malavotins came to be viewed as greedy, seeing themselves as the most powerful race, believing all others must bow before them. Those who refused were met with death as punishment.
  • However, during one fateful day around 430 A.A., an Elior slave came upon the most devastating discovery yet. While being dragged along by their master and treated as a mere beast, a small meteorite broke through the outer layers of the world, killing the master instantly as it struck their head. At first, no great thought crossed the slave's mind, but over time it became clear: although the Malavotins could foresee the future, they had not moved out of the way of the falling rock. It was then discovered that they could not witness their own deaths.
  • Believing the Gods had bestowed a gift upon them, the Elior secretly banded together, plotting to overthrow every Malavotin at once, so that none would see it coming.
  • In the year 450 A.A., the Elior finally enacted their plan, twenty years in the making. The Malavotins were slaughtered simultaneously, and their cities across the world fell into the Sea of Death. The city of Malvata was never spoken of again. To this day, no one knows whether it still stands in ruins, sank beneath the sea, or perished entirely into dust.

Ancient Buildings Still Used to This Day

Corus Sa-Hal:

  • Within the Shaoul sub-region lies a coliseum said to have been inhabited by the Malavotins in ancient times. However, it was not built by them. That honor belongs to an even older clan within the Dynasty of Murok Nad’Il, who were even credited with planting Tentar Imbal, the legendary Tree of Life.
  • The coliseum was built upon a site where Gods recognized by their religion forged divine weapons in order to rebel against the Supreme. The most famous of these weapons is the Sword of Farul, said to have been wielded by the Risen Warrior of Valor, Valorian.
  • As for the Malavotins, it remains unknown what purpose this structure served in their time. In the present day, however, the Shaoul Varon use it to test their youth. Not only in the art of defense, but also in the discipline of shapeshifting.
