Taivas was the human founder of the town of Traublassen, on the plane of Innistrad.
Description[ | ]
Taivas was a prominent figure in the founding of Traublassen, and his legacy is marked by both remarkable achievements and dark undertones. He is depicted through a portrait in Vytas's manor, where he is presented with a significant degree of reverence. This portrayal, combined with Vytas's reflections, suggests that Taivas was a visionary who built Traublassen from nothing and played a crucial role in establishing the town’s security and prosperity.[1]
History[ | ]
Taivas was an influential figure whose legacy was foundational in the creation of Traublassen. His vision for the town extended beyond mere settlement; he aimed to establish a system that would ensure both the prosperity and stability of his community. To this end, he formed strategic alliances and used his wealth to support the settlement, providing for their security and well-being. His impact was so profound that he is remembered through the grand architectural and artistic displays within the manor, which reflect his importance and influence.
However, Taivas's contributions to Traublassen were not without dark consequences. In his quest to maintain control and order, he devised a sinister pact with a malevolent entity known as Umbris. This entity, bound to the town by Taivas’s spellwork, fed on the fears and sorrows of the town's people. The binding circle and the practices surrounding it were a part of Taivas's efforts to keep his vision of a stable, productive town intact, albeit through nefarious means. The entity’s role in the town’s dynamics was a hidden aspect of Taivas's legacy, revealing the lengths to which he was willing to go to maintain his ideal of order and prosperity.
Taivas's influence, though initially seen as a boon to Traublassen, cast a long shadow over the town's history. His dealings with Umbris, which ensured that the town’s residents were kept in check through their fears and sorrows, left a lingering darkness that would eventually become apparent to those who ventured into the keep. The legacy of Taivas is thus a dual-edged sword: he was a founder and protector of the town, but also a practitioner of dark magic that had severe implications for its inhabitants.[1]
