Sivath was born and came from the Elven City of Lathorin Wear Ayria the goddess of light, Justice, and water reigns. It was there he was raised to be a king, his royal elven. Blood promised him that much. Schooled in the finest of school�s & the lost arts.
Even though Sivath was born into power & all the knowledge & understanding of an elven king, he still thirsted for more. He studied the art�s Dark & light. He betrayed his life & duties as a king all for personal gain, personal power knowledge & satisfaction.
Sivath spent many years neglecting his duties as a king neglecting his family his wife. All that was important was to achieve his goal to obtain the power�s of the heaven�s then he could right all wrong�s & protect his Kingdome for all time.
His research lead to the one thing he know was ancient in power �the gate to the heaven�s� A symbol of the transformation from mortal flesh to immortal soul & the passage beyond the mortal world. This gate was used for countless centuries in the ceremonies of death �Natul� wear the elven body�s of fallen hero�s and royalty would be laid at the base of this relic so that the soul of the fallen could travel to the god�s safely. It was this artifact that had the answer�s he sought. For it was a portal & it lead to the star�s the home of the god�s & there he know the secret�s of all time wear kept. But no living thing could enter the portal or so it was said. For only the one�s ready to pass to the next world could enter the portal in spirit.
He studied for many year�s determined to find some clue in the ancient library�s of
Lathorin , that would hint to a way to find safe passage though the portal. But to no avail, year after year he lost more & more of his sanity as his search turned from that of studies to that of an desperate obsession clinging to any idea that may hold the key to his quest.
It started with a willing disciple but it did not stop there. Valkin loyal disciple was the first to step thought the portal alive & well in order to fuel his master�s obsession but he did not return. Sivath ordered hundreds to there death�s ordered them to go and retrieve the secret�s and return. From the young to the innocent the powerful and the weak None were safe.
It did end but only after he had taken many lives in his obsession even his own wife and child wear sacrificed. He sent his very own wife & unborn child though the gate hoping that his lover his wife would shield his son so that he could return with all the knowledge he lusted for. But they did not return, no-one did.
His own royal blood spilled was the last straw for the kingdom. Sivath�s very own brother Dalnar ended this atrocity. Sivath stood in front of the gateway pondering his next move. It is said that Sivath did not beg or scream in fact it is said that he gave a forgiving look as his brother Dalnar plunged his dagger into him taking his pain away.
But though a cruel trick of fate and a hand from chaos. The gate preformed it�s duty Dalnar pushed Sivath though the portal into the real beyond half dead half alive in the realm of star�s his last mortal sight was his brother face asking for forgiveness, then all was black , and a sort of death came over Sivath but he was not entirely dead. Fate had other plans for him. It is said his soul was returned to his body denying him the knowledge in death that he sought in life. His body entombed in his family tomb for all time he dwell�s there rotting away like a void alone a void eating itself for till is nothing left to eat nothing left to crave nothing at all. An it is there he shall remain.
With Sivath was cast out of the realm of god�s his body sat in its tomb wasting away. Sivath able to feel the slow rotting decay of his body, until one day the god of rebirth appeared above his tomb.
Preeg looked down upon long dead king with an unnerving smirk across his face. �You sought in life that which you could not have, until death. It seems now in death Janarah has denied you that knowledge. But I can help you �. I can give you a glimmer of that knowledge you sought so desperately.�
King Sivath listened to the offer of the Prince of Darkness as he told him, the conditions he would place upon him for having that knowledge and how he would gain it. As fate would have it he was not the only one listen that day to Preeg. Janarah listened as his brother laid out what was to happen. Snickering Janarah laid out his plan in his mind, waiting for what was the right moment in Preeg�s rite he was doing to restore the king.
As the rite neared it close Janarah made his move. Disrupting the rite tossing Preeg�s thoughts astray Janarah twisted the magic unknowing exactly what the results would be. The king�s body snapped back to life in that instant. Then something else began to happen. His eyes became black like a void wear his soul should be. His skin became no more, nothing but blackness encased in bone. No heart no soul, nothing. Sivath was reborn into the world in cruel twisted way. He was a lich an undead one ever thinking but never feeling. Preeg seeing the creation shrugged knowing there was nothing that could be done now, he turned from the king leaving him with Janarah.
Finding out that his fate was to be sealed, neither god willing or able to remove his curse. He was deemed to pay for all time for his crimes against the children of Ayria as guardian of the �Gateway to the Heavens.�
