Sphere: Sidgard

Lord Siora

---

Very little is known about Siora, the caretaker of the Pristine Fountain and the face of the Kallayadeva. What little we so know is only what we have managed to observe and collect over the previous millenniums. Indeed, the boy, seemingly of only a dozen years of age, has actually lived since, some speculate, time immemorial. He is certainly older than the High Kingdom of Sidgard, the Starslagen Confederacy, and even the earliest discovered references to the gods.

How the boy had managed to survive so long is a mystery. Aside from those of corrupt spirit, immortality is predominantly beyond the reach of mortal men. Consequently, some speculate that Siora is all powerful: even beyond the Law of Conservation of Reality. It certainly seems so, given the ease with which he can exercise magic that would take even powerful mages months of time and preparation. Some of his known abilities include instantaneous, successive teleportation, highly accurate foresight, and complete mastery of elementary magic. Indeed, though it is has been hidden from the public, the secret behind High Lich Gruva's defeat is actually known to us: Siora completely wiped out the Lich's army the moment their filth moved to touch the Fountain. The lightning and firestorm was visible for thousands of leagues and the consequent thunderstorm ravaged the northeastern Sidgardian countryside for days. The sheer magnitude put even the most powerful archmages of the day to shame, the predominant reason why the affair was suppressed.

An interesting note, however, is how he has changed over the course. Early records describe him with golden hair and brighter, blue eyes, though both have taken silvery hues in recent years. The cause of this unknown, whether it is an expression of aging or some other situation. There are many theories behind this and, indeed, his sheer existence, ranging from he being the physical manifestation of magic in Andlosheim and his deterioration a result of it's depletion, to he being an otherworldly entity steadily dying within our world, to he being the source of all life in Andlosheim and it's proliferation drawing away his strength. No single theory holds a majority, and the boy himself has certainly not shed any light on the situation.

There are a multitude of ongoing studies into his person. After all, the Kallayadeva itself has its roots in a group of historians and mages attempting to study the fountain and Siora. The modern Kallayadeva is not significantly different, with it's members seeking to learn about Siora as much as the world in general. Indeed, despite being considered the leader of the Kallayadeva, if only as a figurehead, Siora is not actually involved in its activities or administration.
