History

The third Pëlëtüna of Kythus (623-678), born in 595, second son of Sköhar, brother of Cönok. Cëratna took power after his brother fell in combat, amidst suspicions of his involvement. People like their conspiracies, and as a generally well liked king was replaced by a despot it is not seen as out of character for Cëratna to have somehow arranged his brother's demise:

"ad kälön źedö mana Pëlëtüna - And an arrow made me King" is a Kythan phrase meaning the speaker won a contest, or came into wealth via trickery. It references the death and rumoured betrayal of the Pëlëtüna Cönokna, whom died in battle with a single stray pëlöryk arrow shot, some believe by his brother Cëratna.

Arögoth hyVykrupelabüsnu

Pëlëtüna Cëratna was responsible for creating the Arögoth hyVykrupelabüsnu - Rangers of Arögoth in 624 YG, following the end of the Pëlöryk raids which he and his brother fought to subdue. Some see this as the only positive from his reign.
