The title of "Warden of Kavalia"

Emmara Valenheim (70 ATC - 446 DDW)
After recieving a prophecy that spoke of a great power to be from the east, Emmara Valenheim, convinced a sect of Tyrahnian elves to follow her to found the great fortress atop the Kavalian mountains to wait for the signs of the great power.

The original fortress pales in comparison to the stronghold that now sits atop the Kavalian mountains overlooking both Kyros and Tyrahna. The early settlers of the region completed the fortress ~70 ATC and unanimously declared Emmara Valenheim the Warden of Kavalia, ruler of the fortress and surrounding lands.

Under Emmara's leadership, Valenheim established itself as a symbol of Tyrahnian prowess and mysticism. The proximity to the moon allowed Tyrahnian elves of Valenheim to developed enhanced magically abilities which led to the creation of The Moon Larks, a powerful organization of cryomancers and moon druids who work to protect the serenity of Tyrahna and its people, whom Emmara held in high regard. The increased magical properties of the location also allowed Emmara's divinations to become more frequent and with greater clarity for her to write a collection of prophecies known as A Pale Moon's Requiem, which annotated prophecies for the next 2,000 years.

Once the Great Dragon War began in 420 ATC and Tyrahna declared itself the allies of Presidium, Emmara herself led a cadre of 2,500 Valenheim soldiers and support units to aid in the war effort. Sadly, the Warden of Kavalia lost her life in The Battle of the Three Peaks.
