Kai

Kai was an Arkati and the God of Skill-at-Arms, Strength, and Athletic Prowess, in Elanthia. He was of the Pantheon of Liabo.

Kai was attributed as having killed more Ur-Daemon in the Ur-Daemon War than any individual Drake. He was also the only Arkati reported to have fought and survived. He has only been beaten once in personal combat, by Koar, and fought to a tie by V'tull.

Kai preferred to appear as a young, muscular man, always in armor with some form of weapon. His symbol is a silver arm with fist on a field of crimson.

Shrines, Statuary, and Holy Places

Wehnimer's Landing, Shrine of Heroes

A warrior of magnificent size and strength stands proudly in the center of the room.

The heroic figure, carved from a single block of pale grey granite, towers to a height of nearly twenty breathtaking feet.  Though his face is youthful, his gaze is that of one who has unflinchingly confronted even the mightiest of foes.  One mighty hand clutches a fel-wood spear tipped with gleaming adamantine, raised warily against some unseen foe.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of this granite god is his left hand.  Clenched in a tight fist that betrays both stern inner resolve as well as intense ferocity, you can almost imagine it crushing the last breath out of any enemy.

The Shrine of Heroes was located in the Lower Dragonsclaw Forest outside Wehnimer's Landing. It played an important role along the path to enlightenment in the Order of Voln.

Cleric Guilds

Displayed in the Prayer Rooms of each Cleric Guild is a state of Kai. These prayer rooms are considered a holy shrine to multiple deities.

The statue of Kai seems to exude boundless energy and martial enthusiasm.  He appears as a young man, well-muscled, with strong and carefree features.  He wears his armor as naturally as robes.  In his powerful hand is a spiked mace.

A warm feeling washes over you, as if Kai smiled upon you.

Wehnimer's Landing Cleric Guild

Located in the Antechamber of Liabo is a table inset with disks depicting all of the Liabo arkati, including one for Kai. This area is not considered a holy shrine.

A silver arm, with fist clenched, on a field of crimson is painted on the crystal disk representing Kai.

Ta'Vaalor Cleric Guild

One of the Chambers of Lessons in the Ta'Vaalor Cleric Guild is dedicated to Kai. The statue is identical to that in the other Cleric Guilds. It is considered a holy shrine.

[Liabo Hall, Chamber of Lessons]

Banners of vivid crimson silk span the gaps between the pristine, fluted white columns, and the hall ends abruptly in small, round chamber.  A small, flawless altar rises from the unadorned floor, its base wrought with bold silver knotwork.  Behind the altar is a cyclopean statue of a heavily-muscled man, his fluid stance a masterful depiction of his competence in combat.

Inlaid with a disc of vivid scarlet eahnor, the altar bears the lustrous symbol of a clenched fist upon its surface.  Dark silver knotwork runs along its base and edges, twining about its topmost portions in a bold, striking style.  An open book lays atop the altar.

In the Common language, it reads:

"Learn the lessons well from this Patron - combat flows as the blood in his veins."
