Kerath

From MYSTlore

Kerath (6677 - 6985 DE ^{(979 - 671 BC)}) (KeraT^[?], "brave one") was the last king of D'ni, who set up the system of rule by the guilds that would last until the fall.

He was the youngest son of King Rikooth and Hisha and was strongly influenced by his mother's belief in the teachings of Gish. In 6700 DE ^{(956 BC)} he and his mother were banished from the palace for this belief, but after her death Kerath returned, sailing through the Arch of Kings. Rikooth felt moved to make Kerath the next king, and after his death in 6731 DE ^{(925 BC)} Kerath took the throne.

Kerath believed that D'ni should be ruled by a council rather than a single ruler until the arrival of the true Great King. A new Guild Hall was built over the Tomb of the Great King, and by the time Kerath abdicated in 6977 DE ^{(679 BC)} most D'ni supported the change and were followers of Gish.
