Corus Pyrevine

Corus Pyrevine (c. 10,039 BW - c. 9,908 BW) was the founder of the nation of Pyrefar, one of the six human Generals from Brassword who led the invasion to the continent of Deurra, and one of the first humans to unlock the abilities of Aura.

Originally the second generation to a family of mercenaries, Corus joined the Brass Army to support his wife and children. When he was 19, Corus unlocked his Auran abilities, which allowed manipulation of fire, smoke and molten rock. His newfound powers allowed him to raise through the ranks of the army, eventually becoming one of its top generals in less than two decades.

In 10,003 BW, Corus was one of the leaders of an invasion pitched by Brassword's government to Deurra; in the beginning of what would be known as "War of Ashes", Pyrevine led a force of 15,000 warriors out of a total 800,000 warriors. He was the first of the six generals to conquer a region in Deurra and found a nation, in 10,000 BW.

In 9,992 BW, the invasion came to an end with the complete defeat of the opponent races, the Aulians, Feraians and Giants, and Corus officially declared himself as the first "Ashen King"; his fellow generals would follow suit, and the newly-founded kingdoms refused to accept Brassword's leadership.

Corus would go on to reign over Pyrefar for over 90 years, the longest-reigning monarch out of Deurra's original human rulers. His reign was noted for his attempts to co-word and -exist with Aulians, Ferians and Giants, although he could only make truce with the Ferians.

Corus had three sons, although he outlived them all; After his death, his grandson Hybros - the eldest offspring of Corus' firstborn son Daimun - rose to leadership.
