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 from a single stray pëlöryk arrow that some people believe was shot by his brother Cëratna, or some fellow conspirator.
