In the Ancient times, before the sundering, before the war, magic was known to all in the world. It pulsed as sweet music through the hearts of the Star Children and in return, they worshiped its divine ways. Those amongst the Riundiri who best understood the everfolding chords were named Roahttha,or Song-Shapers in the common tongue and they held immense power and prestige throughout the starlight kingdom. Mightiest of all the Shapers was Shii Ygristiir Twek-Hrratcha. Among his people Ygristiir was revered, for the palms of his hands bore deep cracks and flowing there in the cracks was a fire so great and terrible, that lesser men would fall to their knees in prayer before its glow. It was said that his heart spoke with tremendous joy and upon hearing the proud trumpets of his battle cry, one would be filled with the fury of Lions. He was most feared of all Kulitans Generals and served as High Roahttha of the Elder Order until his death at the Battle of Shattered Sky in the 12,000th year of the 1st Age.
