Ythyr Carrinoke was a knight bannaret of the Taspian kingdom of Kyria Lumeia. He was granted this title by his king in honour of his dedication to the people of Taspia, and the great deeds he had achieved in service of the king. During the fall of the heptarchy, the king abdicated and fled Shuul, and many of his subjects turned to Ythyr as a charismatic and well-loved leader. In the months that followed, Kyria Lumeia was destroyed by dragonfury, and Ythyr led his displaced people into the wilderness of Shuul. No records of Carrinoke or his people were found in the histories after this.
Father of Elvenkind Myth
When Carric Thamior led the Elves into Auriin at the start of the sixth era, it was said that he was a direct descendent of Ythyr Carrinoke, and that the elves were the fey-touched progeny of the people of Kyria Lumeia that had fled the city around 400 years prior. This myth was perpetuated by Thamior, who claimed Ythyr was still alive in the Feywild, having been granted eternal life by the Archfey Oberon.
The most committed of proponents of this myth even posited that Carrinoke himself had ascended to Archfey status, achieving god-like powers. Many even venerated him as a deity, with scholars considering him to be an aspect of Sylfaen, god of the Fey.
