Leviathans

Overview

Leviathans are titanic creatures large enough to cover vast cities. Their footsteps make the ground tremble and the mountains shake; their silhouettes obscure the sun when they spread their wings or soar above the clouds. Like Chimerae, Leviathans feed on Mana.

Kaibara - The Protector

The Oasis of Asgartha is the territory of Kaibara, the Whale Leviathan. Kaibara lives within the mountainous expanses of the Kirighai peninsula above the Katkera. Its nest is a frozen lake, the largest on the Peninsula, where it hibernates part of the year. After breaking through its icy shelter, it rises into the skies and brushes against the clouds.

Kaibara lives in harmony with the other living beings of Asgartha. The Bravos assist their tutelary Leviathan in defending the Peninsula against challengers.

Defeated Leviathans

The following Leviathans were defeated by the alliance between Asgarthans and Kaibara:

• Cadracal: The Iguana Leviathan
• Annoba: The Moray Eel Leviathan

Hostile Leviathans

Other Leviathans continue to challenge the aging Kaibara or threaten the Peninsula:

• Kraken: The Squid Leviathan that conquered Caer Oorun, forcing Asgarthans to erect The Rampart. Destroyed by Kojo Oduro in 392 AC.
• Cingula: The flying centipede Leviathan that periodically attacks the Peninsula.
• Terat: The nightmarish vulture Leviathan.
• Garuda: The Buzzard Leviathan that regularly disrupts the Peninsula in search of food.
• Kacchena: The Moving Island, a Turtle Leviathan in the Cierna that is an ecosystem unto itself.
• Black Leviathan: An abomination born of war’s negative emotions during The Three Factions War, defeated by champions from all Factions.

Symbiotic Leviathans

Kaibara tolerates certain Leviathans on its territory. Two Lyra Clans live in symbiosis with Leviathans, having negotiated with Kaibara to allow them to roam the Peninsula:

• Scarab: The Beetle Leviathan of Iju Clan
• Meander: The Serpent Leviathan of Ventauri Clan

Leviathan Summoning

The Yzmir possess the capability to add Leviathans to their summoning arsenal. In 392 AC, the Magisters debated whether to authorize the Kraken for summoning, with Chambulla casting the deciding vote in favor.
