The Birth of Kryian
Reader discretion is advised.
The Birth of Kryian is a collective term for the various myths regarding the date, time, manner, participants and attendees in the conception and subsequent birth of Kryian. While the existence of Kryian as a person and the founder of the Siathan Court is not disputed, there are multiple accounts as to her conception, birth and early years of her life, many of them conflicting.
Regarding the circumstances of conception
Dragonic Father
The most common story by far, the act of Kryian's mother engaging in intercourse with a Dragon, giving her incredible powers that persists through the royal bloodline even today. A common variation changes the father to another Siathan, making Kryian an ordinary child in the womb until, during an encounter with a dragon, Kryian's mother was bathed in the blood of the creature, the power of which transferred to the child still in her womb.Bandit Bastard
Common to the detractors of the myth of Kryian's power, the theory that she was merely the result of a bandit forcing himself upon a woman during a raiding party has many variations, mostly around the actual identity of the father. The fact that Kryian was a product of rape and her father being a bandit of some kind is commonly cited, in this variation of the myth, for Kryian's hatred of bandits and the beginning of what would eventually become the Siathan Court.Immaculate
Sometimes used as a standalone, other times tied into other origins, myths regarding Kryian's conception happening without a father are often cited as evidence for the matriarchal society that would dominate the early years of the Siathan Court, something which exists only rarely in the modern day.Regarding the circumstances of birth
Not all stories regarding Kryian's origins begin with conception. In fact, many of them actually ignore that entirely and claim that she merely started existing without being born.
