  • Karse is considered a tough country, with rocky soil and dangerous terrain. The kingdom was plaged by demons summoned by the Sunpriests at night. It had been at war with Valdemar since Vanyel's time. It wasn't until Solaris became the Son of the Sun, and the kingdom was threatened by the war with Hardorn, that the fighting stopped and an alliance was formed. Karse is a land plagued by hatred - Especially towards magic and those who use it. It has been a long practiced tradition that those wielding any sort of magic, including Gifts, were burned by the Sunpriests in the name of their deity, Vkandis. In Exile's Honor, Alberich, was only saved from the fires by his Companion who Chose him after their escape. This went on for centuries until Solaris ended the practice. Solaris was the first female to lead the Priesthood since the beginning of Karsite history, and her position was backed by the presence of her Firecat, Hansa. Aside from getting rid of the practices put in place to control the people, such as setting demons loose on the coutryside, Solaris also purged the priesthood of the corrupt priests and ended the long-standing war with Valdemar. To keep the peace, Solaris accepted Talia, Queen's Own of Valdemar to become a Sunpriest, and in return sent her own Envoys to Haven; the Sunpriest Ulrich, and his apostle Karal; the latter was also granted the companionship of another Firecat, Altra.
