Comgan I Castergan

Comgan I Castergan, also known as Comgan the Founder and Comgan the Orante-Bound was the first Human King, as well as founder of the first human kingdom, Kierth.

Appearance and Character
Comgan was a tall, broad-shouldered and captivating in appearance, with long auburn hair and amber eyes. He was very charismatic and diligent, being among the first group of men to lay the stones for the first human settlement in Andor.

Comgan was seen as an honest man, his claim of Orante granting him the divine right to rule going mostly uncontested as he was very popular, as well as the Orane religion being founded the previous year.

Legend
It is said that Comgan is of the original humans to wake on the shores of Andor. This legend however is widely disputed, and it is actually regarding his possible father. The validity regarding the claims was never clarified, and to the current day remains speculated, making Comgan somewhat of an eternal figure among Kierthans

Early Life
While it is disputed on whether Comgan was among the first group of humans who had awoken on the western shores of Andor, it is known that much of his earlier years was spent among the group of humans who stayed behind that would then become Kierthans.

In the early days of the construction of Pencast, Comgan was among the first to lay down the stones of the buildings. He became a popular figure among his fellows for his diligence and willingness to work.

Comgan's claims of being declared as the 'Protector of Men' was met with much incredulity in the beginning, which then slowly gave way to acceptance as he grew to a popular figure among his people

Reign
In the beginning years of his reign as king, his division of the people by class would be inspired by the Elvhen and their own societal structure.

Comgan began to separate the people by starting to name his most trusted friends and their future lineage as the Chosen Nine. These nine houses would then become major figures of Kierthan life, taking up leadership roles assigned to them under Comgan's jurisdiction and watch.

Under the Chosen Nine, smaller houses would begin to pop up under people who wished for positions of leadership in their society. While lesser, they were still appreciated and well-loved by those who had chosen to remain as the every-day people of society.

Despite being a well-loved man as well as ruler, Comgan was killed by an unknown assassin in an attempt to loosen the Castergan's reign over the Kierthan people.

Legacy
Comgan is widely remembered as the first human king, and is a well-revered historical character among the Kierthans.

Many poems, songs, and art use the subject of Comgan as a center. The famous play The Builder King is based off of historical events in the life of Comgan until he becomes king.
