Thryhaefron; The Silver Tree and Dwarven Cosmology [III] : Planes of Khorvad

[!] Depiction of Thryhaefron.

 

Kharvuur was the realm gifted to Khorvad by Yemekar in exchange that Khorvad would do his duty to creation. Despite his good start Khorvad eventually was corrupted by himself. Showing us that with certain mindsets one can lead one’s own soul into damnation.

[!] Depiction of the original Kharvuur.

The Cosmic body where Kharvuur lies is not able to be seen for most of the years, however, it is said that every century one can see a gleams of it with a proper dwarven telescope according to the astronomer Boreas. It was believed that Kharvuur used to be one of the most beautiful realms before Khorvad’s fall. Because realms are embodiments of the Brathmordakin the corruption of a being would mean the corruption of the realm. At the beginning Kharvuur was a great realm where conquerors and great emperors would be able to enjoy all the highest luxuries any realm can offer. Gradually with time Khorvad became more and more corrupted but not yet betraying the Brathmordakin.The only souls that went there were that of Dwarven conquerors and the souls of the people they have enslaved in their life. Every individual enslaved during life would be chained and forced to serve their dwarven slavers in death. With Khorvad’s fall his realm turned into complete chaos. The souls of the slaves that were there became lesser demons, and the souls of the dwarves became greater demons. These folk lost all sense of self the only thing that remained of them is their will to dominate and take life. Nowadays Kharvuur is another word for the High Hells as Khorvad does not seem to have a set base, especially after he was exiled from his own domain and tossed into the void. Once Khorvad was vanished to the void the roots of Thryhaefron that connected Kharvuur to the other planes was closed by the Brathmordakin locking the demons of this hellscape locked forever, unless a portal is opened across the cosmos by a mage or a deity.

Kharvul is the moon of Kharvuur. It is what is commonly called the Nether by nondwarves. This location was the headquarters of Khorvad’s invasion of Aegis and successful conquest of it. Kharvul, unlike Kharvuur, was still connected to the mortal plane of Aegis through the roots of Thryhaefron. Khorvad once he had recovered from his defeat at the hands of the four Brothers returned to conquer their land by force. During the invasion the descendants were able to use one of the roots to Kharvul from Aegis and destroyed it by destroying the Nexus with the axe of Krug. Saddly the forces of Khorvad that remained in Aegis were still great and were able to overcome the descendants.

Eventually Khorvad was able to break through to Belka’s realm summoned there by fallen spirits of her realm. This war allowed for the rise of Shamanism through the spirits corrupted by Khorvad. Because of this the Legions of the Brathmordakin were sent there led by the Paragon Kjell Ireheart. There the Legions fight the corrupted spirits so that the souls that go to Belka’s realm can be safe and so the evils of Khorvad are not able to spread.

Once the descendants fled Aerios through another root of Thryhaefron that they later closed, Khorvad was able to conquer the entirety of the known land of that mortal plain transforming it into his new domain. The Brathmordakin blocked all roots that connected the two mortal plains to make it harder for Khorvad to follow the descendants. However, after many years it is believed that Khorvad found the Trunk of Thryhaefron which enabled him to cross to Axiom and continue his rampage and his endless ambition to conquer creation. If the dwarven race does not find all the Paragons and their holy land it is believed that Khorvad will wage a last battle against the mortals where he will win. Upon winning, Yemekar will plunge the mortal realms into his the void of his forge, hence stopping the spread of Khorvad into other realms.
