Thaxiron

Early years
Thaxiron (name meaning "the fortunate one") worked from a young age at Asour'therak building projects to support his family, and while his home town had a lack of good builders, his salary was quite good. Eventually he met Archon Ythar II during Archon's development projects of fishing villages, and found out that then keshra (town mayor) of Asour'therak: Pirijadis had recommended Thaxiron also for a keshra position in Kalasirol, Archon offered that position to Tharixon, and he accepted. So Thaxiron said goodbye to his colleague Gogo, and left his home town, and his well paid job there, moved to the neighbouring one, and started to serve as the keshra there.

He had no idea what was waiting for him in his new home town... and especially beneath it.

Discovery in Kalasirol
There was this persistent threat of war in Sironia, so Thaxiron strenghtened diplomatic relations with neighbouring towns within Varthalovir Eglisar, and started a project of fortification of Kalasirol, which was something what he was good at since his early years in his original home town: architecting and building.

During geological probing while preparing architectural project for the town walls, an ominous discovery surprised geologists.

It happened, that one of their probes fell under the ground, and when they were trying to get it back, what they brought to the surface was something else: the human remains.

The remains were not very fresh, in fact, they were just some old bones, mainly naked, with occassional spots covered by totally dried pieces of brittle skin. There would be nothing special about some random grave, but the main thing was, that the probe was not there, but a deep dark shaft wound from there into the unknown depths instead.

A sage, Sakrelist missionary Otakutwist, serving also as a private investigator in Kalasirol, was summoned, to evaluate the situation. Even though his goal in life was something else (writing letters to all nations of Rathnir, imploring them to convert), it was clear from the look on his face, that this was much more important in that moment. He was stepping around the hole slowly, observing it silently, and at that he suddenly said: "This is serious. We need to call previous keshra, SirMeows." Then he revealed to Thaxiron, that this is the entrance to the damned dungeons of Kalasirol, which should have remained buried, and told him what happened in Kalasirol in recent years, since the first incident during mayoralty or previous keshra SirMeows, and the subsequent expeditions documented also in the book "Return of Jeghosi" available in the Library of Rodheros (town neighbouring south of Kalasirol). He also provided to Thaxiron his private investigation file containing several sheets of paper with varying sizes, paper types, and degrees of damage.

Thaxiron took all evidence (including that book borrowed from the library) to his office, to analyze it thoroughly there. But before that, Thaxiron ordered the excavators to cover the shaft by wooden planks temporarily until SirMeows arrive, to avoid accidents and injuries of citizens, and diggers fulfilled the order. Then the architectural project continued, because it could not be delayed even a day. But since that discovery, strange things started to happen in the town of Kalasirol...

Ancient Sagaviri
After SirMeows had arrived Kalasirol, he showed Thaxiron a hidden entrance to the dungeons, which they had discovered in the past, and had barricaded and hidden it then again, to keep the dark evil they had discovered there in the depths, where they had believed it belonged. Now they removed the covering, and holding burning candles in their hands, entered the gloomy entrance.

The atmosphere inside was quite oppressive, and because a dull candlelight, it took a while for their eyes to get used to the dark underground space.

"It still did not reach this highest level, so we have some time yet. Let's go back!", said SirMeows. Then they returned and barricaded the entrance again. SirMeows also provided to Thaxiron a huge amount of ancient documents they had found on their previous expeditions. While Thaxiron's hobby was also linguistics, he quickly recognized, that those were the documents from the age of the old Sagaviri Empire, and he, purposed with enthusiasm, intended to reconstruct this extinct common ancestor of all dialects of Sagaviri Language.
