Kian Shigar

Kian Shigar is the current (as of 9942) acting Mayess of the Elseworld of Metrianda.

History
Kian Shigar is a tiefling woman who grew up in Faeruhn. She was raised in a semi-large village, almost a town, could be classified a city, but lacking a serious name. In her early 20s she rose to a leadership position, which she held till she was in her 30s, where she retired. She moved to Neverwinter and met Beryl, a male Aasimar construction worker, whom she fell in love with. The two of them wed and had twins. A few months after their birth, however, Adika was killed on a job site. Kian never remarried and took it upon herself to raise her children.

At some point, after her children had grown, she was forcibly transported to Metrianda. Kian was a hero of Robasa for several years before she was nominated by the dragons Bravophae and Nautalist for the position of Mayess, this was alongside her close friend, and fellow Robasan hero, Maldreth Matriad. The two got along swimmingly, both being parents, and both being somewhat of a leader of sorts in their old lives. Maldreth eventually dropped out, around the time he was forced to hold witness to his daughter's execution at the hands of her lover, Victory. He became distant and aloof, though Kian tried to keep reaching out to him. Things bubbled over when, during the last stage of approval, when Kian was almost appointed as Mayess, Maldreth and his new fling, an Aasimar woman named Pareidolia, wiped out the entire council, nearly killing Kian and Finnigan Leagallow, a close cohort of the two, in the process. Kian was knocked unconscious during the scuffle, and almost killed, but Finnigan managed to sneak her away and heal her. Thankfully, she was able to claim her position as Mayess, and acquire the literal raw power that comes with the title. Though, now that The Council is dead, she also took their position's and their power as well, unwillingly.

Over the next 400 years she maintained her position as The Mayess and established a semi-democracy over the few remaining cities in Metrianda. Kian began a hero program where she would pull individuals who met a predetermined criteria from anywhere in the multiverse and ask them to help her protect her citizens and her nation. She originally thought she might be able to send them back but that quickly turned out to not be the case. She would have spent more time figuring out how to send people back to their homes, but she was already spending a significant amount of her time watching and planning, assuming that someday Maldreth and Pareidolia would return to strike her down and take control. Despite this, Kian was ultimately unprepared for Maldreth’s assault, and the outer cities were constantly bombarded by attacks.

Kian assumed that she may be able to keep up against Maldreth’s onslaught, but that proved to not be the case. She was aging and the stress was taking its toll on her health. She tried her best to at least maintain an appearance that she knew what she was doing and she would be able to continue to fight but as of late people have begun to doubt her.
