Kestor
King Kestor , the 23rd
Kestor, the eternal ruler of Kestor's Past, is a figure entwined with mystical reincarnation through a crown. Over 600 years ago, inspired by a vision from the sea goddess Thassa, the founding Kestor transformed a humble fishing village into the thriving city it is today. The prophet Emissary of Thassa, God of the Sea bestowed upon Kestor a crown containing arcane magic, a gift from the goddess herself. This crown binds to its bearer until death, stealing a fraction of their soul, creating a reliquary of memories and personalities.
The crown's power ensures the city's safety and prosperity, echoing Thassa's promise. Successive rulers, each named Kestor, carry this mantle, becoming a vessel of accumulated wisdom and experiences. The crown, while granting quasi-immortality, extracts a price—each bearer loses a part of their essence, forever preserved within the crown's magic. Kestor the 23rd, the current monarch, wears this mantle with elegance, embodying both the burden and privilege of a soulful legacy.
