Balthava

Balthava was the name of a bandit from Cassum who assassinated the High Priestess of Lucidus. He was put to death directly before they used his body and soul during the creation of the moons. Because of the Treaty of Votum, a moon was created and associated with each individual main region (North, Central, and South). Using the latent and fresh magical ability straight form the core of Deusolus, three individuals were transformed into the celestial bodies that reign the skies of Magis.

Balthava represents the Central Country, as a reminder of the treaty.

Balthava was not a volunteer for the treaty, and his body and soul were used forcefully to fulfill judgement for the life he took. His moon became blood red. This created the race of demonoids in the world of Magis.

Life
Balthava was raised and born all inside the Cassum Assassin Guild. His parents were unimportant amateurs in the business. Balthava would gain his way up the ranks by small contracts mostly referring to thievery and threats.

When Balthava became 17, he met a young woman named Paradyne while he was scouting out a route for a contract that involved stealing a few gems from a market square in Holden. The two would eventually fall in love, which is not befitting many from the Guild. She would learn of his connections and lifestyle and asked for him to leave with her to a city in Lucidus, where they could be a safe distance away from the Guild for him to leave. Balthava would of course choose to until a Golden contract came to the Guild. This contract ordered the assassination of High Priestess Hyanna.

Knowing about the war, he couldn’t refuse. He was forced by the Guild Leaders to carry out the execution. He would join a group of six other assassins in the contract. The assassination was successful.

He would later be arrested for the crime due to security and being sold out by his Guild. The last time he was able to see Paradyne was when he was hurtled into the atmosphere to become a symbol of a treaty he had no choice in.

Balthava was 19 when he was sacrificed.
