Kaltha the Lion

Kaltha the Lion was the founder and first leader of the United Tribes of the Rahori Nation in southern Jord.

Kaltha was a warrior of legendary prowess even before he took lead of the Rahori tribe. Kaltha was made a warlord of his tribe at a very young age and served dutifully under his brother, Chief Varkath.

When Varkath died in a raid on the Rahori lands Kaltha took his place as chief. Having spent the better part of two decades fighting with the other tribes he had grown disillusioned with war and desired peace for his people. Kaltha went on a journey into the Mideland and met with the leaders of Quaria, learning the ways of peace and negotiation from the elves and entrusting his family in their care.

He then went to the city of Mightward, following a rumor of a weapon smith that could forge powerful weapons. He had a spear crafted from a Rahori relic called the Spirit Stone. The light of the spear, Starfang, was said to inspire courage and bravery in those that saw it.

Kaltha took Starfang and returned to the south, quickly rallying tribes to his side with promises of peace and unity. When blood had to be shed it was done so with great remorse, and Kaltha was quick to offer his enemies mercy.

He died unexpectedly during a routine visit to the lands of the Yapai tribe. His son, Sari the Blade, now leads the tribes.
