Kievan /'kiːvən/ was a superhero warrior who lived in the 16th and 17th CSR in Heran. He founded and led the Toor of Darkan and was central to many events of the 16th century. His participation in the 17th century had somewhat diminished, and he largely disappeared from the public eye by the 1650s.
Life
First records that mention Kievan refer to several weapon orders received at Hanta, Commonground.
The next decade saw Kievan unite a number of peoples under the flag of Darkan, a young warlord of one of the Kippie tribes. Kievan's modus operandi was later dubbed as "beheading the clans", which involved him striking a deal with a clan, installing Darkan as a "temporary ruler", taking the actual clan ruler into his entourage and leaving. Thus, Kievan would travel with an entourage that consisted almost exclusively of heads of various clans. He also began to be known as the Prince of Dusk at that time, since it was customary for him to show up late in the evening. His entourage was rarely seen during the day.
Darkan was disliked, but Kievan's support allowed him to stay in power for decades, to the extent that the Toor of Darkan was mostly known as the Toor of Kievan.
Kievan was in a state of rivalry with Darfe Goldoor, and it is suggested that it was Kievan who had repeatedly informed Nilma Oordar about Goldoor's whereabouts and which allowed Qep to eventually defeat Goldoor in the 1549-1550 campaign.
