What we know: Anator the Ancient
''Many Leviathans have been recorded in Rathnir history. It is hypothesized that upon completion of a ritual a Leviathan would be able to convert its form to one of a humanoid and continue its life as such.''

None however, were as powerful, nor as momentous as Anator.

The life and history of Anator
 Note : ''Little is known of the time period of which Anator lived, known as the Vantar Period. All information currently known has been discovered in and around the underwater city of Elysium in the long forgotten ruins of the ancient city of Sub Umbra. This is what we know as of now.''

The Vantar Period occurred 1000 millennium before the earliest surviving history of Rathnir.

When Leviathans were first created, the current ruling gods of the Vantar Period believed them to be an abomination. They were too large, too dangerous and too demonic in looks. The gods put on trial the creator of the Leviathans, the Prince God Vantar Mementioul. Vantar, being envious and fearful of the other gods, surrendered his creatures and allowed the fellow gods to hunt down every last Leviathan in Rathnir. Unaware to the gods however, Vantar had planned on such an event happening. Knowing he was soon to die, Vantar instilled in a young Leviathan all his hatred for the gods as well as his divine blood.

 Note : We believe Vantar gained his power by communicating and conducting deals with the dark-hellish dimension of which we believe Segra to be from.

Not much is known of the battle of the Leviathans and the gods, but what we can gather tells a story of genocide. All Leviathans except two were killed. Anator and his wife (name unknown) were found to be too powerful for the gods to risk fighting. They believed that if he should be killed, all of the anger, violence and demonic blood given to him from Vantar would be spilled across Rathnir infecting all creatures. The gods thus decided to trap Anator and his wife in two separate mountains where they would forever remain. After a 10 millenniums passed, the Vantar period gods fell out of power and Anator was forgotten.

In this new era, the Aquathanian Period Anator would trick the King Aquatharius of SubUmbra into letting him free. Anator began to turn the Sub Umbrian race (bear-like humanoids) into Leviathan-like zealots. Anator raised the seas, creating the current seas of Rathnir and using the power the seas gave him defeated the Aquathanian Period gods.

Only the son of Aquatharius, Aquathas was able to defeat Anator using a sword crafted from Anator’s bones which was originally gifted to the possessed King Aquatharius. Anator’s soul was bound to the blade used to kill him. Aquathas, being the last Sub Umbrianian, hid the sword deep in the ocean in the ruins of his city and moved with his wife and child to a location we gather was near the Yularan Continent.
