+ | As tall as the hills, Cairn is the Archon of Stone, hailing from the far-flung peaks of [[Tortalus]]. He is a master of earth and soil, destroyer of mountains and cities. He was the reluctant leader of the Earthshaker Guild, though less their teacher and more their object of study. It is from Cairn that the [[Earthshakers]] derived their [[Sigil of Stone|magical ability to shape and manipulate the rock and soil of Terratus]]. When Cairn rebelled against [[kyros|Kyros]], the Earthshakers remained with the [[disfavored|Disfavored]]. Their detractors say they only stayed because they couldn't locate their Archon to join him in rebellion. Regardless of the reason, their loyalty earned them [[graven ashe|Graven Ashe]]'s protection after the Overlord issued an [[edict|Edict]] to destroy the rebellious Archon. |

The massive Archon was sworn to [[graven ashe|Graven Ashe]], and provided arcane support to the [[disfavored|Disfavored]] war effort. During the [[Conquest]], Cairn was a vital asset. In the [[Apex]] campaign of 429 TR, the Disfavored sent their most destructive ally to crush Edgering Fort. Cairn buried the stronghold under an avalanche triggered from the surrounding mountains. However, the most critical events occurred in 430 TR. The nation of [[Azure]], once the richest settlement of the Tiers, sat on a verdant, fertile plain. As the Disfavored clashed with Azure's defenders, the Scarlet Chorus contended against the region's tribal Beastmen, who protected their ancestral lands with incredible fury. Kyros dispatched Cairn to break the stalemate and force Azure into submission. The colossal man of stone and flesh arrived as instructed, but earning his cooperation was a tall order. |
