"Kagetsu was not born dark. He suffered. Had he found peace instead of misery later in life--O, how brightly he could have shone!"
—Pooka of the Andain, subordinate to Taliesin

Kagetsu Aurelac de Maar Sul, also known as Kagetsu I or the Dark Andain, was a Lord of the Andain once dedicated to destroying the world and re-creating it anew by distributing the powers of the gods amongst the mortals. Kagetsu is the founding father of the nation of Maar Sul.

Biography

Early Life

Kagetsu was born of the God of Chaos, Mardük, and a mortal. Details about Kagetsu's mother are lost in the mists of time, but it is presumed that she must have had a rack on her of mammoth proportions to catch the attention of Mardük. He made a lot of mortal friends, and became very sympathetic towards him.

Formation of Maar Sul

Kagetsu and several of his Andain friends built a city beside the Golden Lake from which Kagetsu takes his surname. He dubbed it Maar Sul for a reason nobody remembers. It became a hub of commerce between the Andain and mortals. For his work in promoting interspecies harmony, Kagetsu was elected Lord of the Andain by his peers.

War of the Andain

Main article: War of the Andain

Manster Rebellion

During the Manster Rebellion, Leon Alcibiates broke the Third Law of the Andain by swearing, on the strongest possible terms, an oath that was far beyond his ability to fulfil. Initially, Kagetsu was linked to Leon for this reason, and locked in the form of his totem familiar, a large black wolf. Kagetsu formed an alliance with the demon Yurius and fought against Agarwaen in that war.

Arawn Plot

During Arawn's rise to power, Kagetsu was busy rebuilding Maar Sul on the sly within the borders of Verdane. Initially, he thought to use Arawn and try to avoid being used in turn. Arawn, however, kidnapped Marya and raped the shit out of her. This made Kagetsu kinda mad. He couldn't strike against Arawn directly, though, because then Marya's life would be forfeit. Because Arawn keyed the wards around Marya specifically to Andain, neither Kagetsu nor any of his minions could get through, so he needed help--and that meant the mage Raistlin II. Raistlin agreed to help in return for Kagetsu's oath to cease his attempts to destroy the world.

Kagetsu, though a creature of honor, found a loophole. At the end of the war, he confronted Arawn face-to-face and harnessed the energies unleashed by their battle and used them to siphon off the powers of all of the Andain and distribute them to the mortals. This killed all of the Andain in the world, including Kagetsu. It also kinda accidentally blew up the world. The continents were rearranged, and the survivors--excepting the Maar Sulais--considered Kagetsu to be a traitor to the Alliance for causing that explosion. On the bright side, it killed Arawn, too, and gave mortals something called Innate Abilities.

Powers

Kagetsu, as a half-god, could do...well, anything the council want him to do. Or Hoot, since he once made Kagetsu "explode" a squirrel for no apparent reason. His totem animal was a big black wolf.

Symbolism

Flag-maarsul

The flag of Maar Sul

Kagetsu's personal banner was a golden phoenix on a field of black; this was later adopted to be the coat of arms for the House of Aurelac and the nation of Maar Sul that rose from the ashes of the explosion. His personal guard were called the Citadel Home Guard, which eventually became SAVAGE under the administration of Kagetsu's mortal descendents.
