Tyrant

In the Age of Decadence, a Tyrant ruled Kaarst with the aid of his arcane followers. They wielded magic to enslave other arcane practitioners, and used that magic to raise a giant statue of the Tyrant to the clifftop above the city. The populace didn't take kindly to the cruelty and overthrew the Tyrant. His statue was collapsed into Kaarst Bay where only its hand reaches above the surface, coming to be known as Tyrant's Folly. Being from Kaarst, Anrel knew this story when the party originally arrived in the harbour, and Sable Warden Meriele Berevan recounted this story to Grokko when asked why arcane magic is illegal in Kaarst.
