Jorsin Alkestes was the first High King of Midcyru (later styled Emperor) seven hundred years ago. He ruled over seven different countries and kings at the height of his power. One of the most powerful and Talented mages ever born, he was responsible for the creation of powerful magical objects such as Curoch and Iures. His most well-known companions were Acaelus Thorne, Prince of Trayethell and Ezra the Mad . He was given the seven ka'kari by Ezra (who aided him with the creation of Curoch and Iures). Jorsin gave the six artificial ones to his Six Champions of Light; the seventh, the black, he gave to his best friend, Acaelus, who later became Durzo Blint.
