Chaimut (/ˈtʃeɪ.muːt/)

---

Rel was the son of Fei Invaru and the prophesied god of fate. The tale of his birth and death contains the damning crimes that resulted in Chaimut's banishment and the completion of The Breaking of Dandoleon. At the height of Chaimut's lust for authority, he foresaw his grandson's rise to power and sought to escalate the circumstances of his birth. The visions predicted that Rel's father would be Mitos, son of Bailum. While Fei Invaru attempted to court Mitos at her father's command, she was routinely rejected until Bailum intervened and forbade any interaction between the two: the matter was taken up directly with Chaimut, who feigned ignorance and agreed to the terms of their separation. Furious and ironically short-sighted, Chaimut secretly bore a rift in the human plane of Laminarum, allowing legions of demons and their duplicitous patriarch to invade. As the defender of humanity, Bailum was forced to intervene, waging a war against the invaders while isolated from the other planes. Milin Orphi, the demonic patriarch, withstood Bailum for a millennium before eventually fleeing.   In Bailum's absence, chaos brewed across the planes as the gods abandoned his court and pursued violent tactics against their enemies. Among the gods was Mitos, who quickly grew solemn due to his father's prolonged absence. At Chaimut's command, Fei approached him once more; at last, his plan was a success, and Rel was born. To ensure that Rel remained under his control, Chaimut sequestered him in an unknown location. Mitos was powerless in the face of Chaimut, forcing him to seek Taopin's assistance. Unfortunately, Taopin was preoccupied filling the shoes of his two absent brothers. Unable to find retribution, Mitos wouldn't see Rel again until he returned to wage war against his family.   Fei was the only individual allowed occasional visitation to Rel, during which she shared tales of Mitos's heroism. Such stories were the only thing capable of retrieving Rel from melancholy, and became the main subject of conversation between him and his mother. Eventually, when Fei felt she had earned Rel's trust, she released him from his containment. She wished to show him the human world of Laminarum and the incredible impact she had on its landscapes; unfortunately, Rel's displays of compliance were a facade, and he quickly escaped to an unknown destination. During Rel's absence, Bailum's war against Milin Orphi ceased, and he returned to reestablish order across the planes. When Bailum's goal was accomplished, Taopin revealed the kidnapping of Rel. Together, the brothers approached Chaimut and learned of Rel's escape.   Subsequently, Rel returned to his family with a declaration of war. During his absence, he had been intercepted by a fleeing Milin Orphi, who agreed to gift him one of the sixteen outer planes in exchange for the death of an Ohdaufeen^I. The war was waged in Laminarum and risked humanity's extinction, but Mitos intervened in hopes of de-escalating the conflict. Deeply seduced by the promises of Milin Orphi, Rel refused to comply, leading to a battle. Tragically, Mitos was forced to slay his son, lest the conflict grow beyond the gods' control. When the dust settled and the matter was brought to Bailum's court, the crux of the conflict was put upon Chaimut. The subsequent Indictment of Chaimut saw him banished to Dandoleon, where he serves an eternal sentence. Ironically, as Rel was born an Ohdaufeen, his death was rewarded with the hellish plane of Fahrefahl where he formally metamorphosed into an Ithitar² and was ordained with the full name Rel Eteisus through Ithitar Acknowledgement³. He remains loyal to Milin Orphi to this day, making the conflict an irrecoverable loss regardless of the punishment delivered to Chaimut.
