Krattipos of Salassa

-as the lightning arced towards the metal of Gowyr's crown, he reached up and seized upon it with his hands. The rainwater on his gauntlets sizzling and steaming as the bolt pulled the king along like a raging mustang.
— The Threemetal Cycle, a 4th era play

A poet of the 4th era, Krattipos has many famed works but none of them are more famous than the Threemetal Cycle.

A grand performance whose sole purpose is to elevate the image of the ancient King Gowyr to a nearly deific status, a task that it succeeds with flying colors. The words of the Threemetal Cycle inform most of what the general populace across the world knows of King Gowyr, and as anyone who has attempted to correct knowledge that was learned casually at a young age, it can be incredibly hard to disincentivise the works use as fact. I'm sure Krattipos would be proud of that...
