King Keoba the First

King Keoba The First, (Keoba the Becz- Ar-Kaar, The Exile King), reigned on the 1st Mountain from 1e128 to 1e334. Keoba's reign began in a bloodless usurpation between himself and his cousin, King Tourim. Keoba's reign ended tragically as a result of his reaction to Forest Madness and the subsequent murder of his wife, Greffa, and his unborn child. He later redeemed himself with honorable battle campaigns in the Orc-Dwarfish War.

Early Life
Keoba was born on the eve of the 8th New Moon of the 1st Mountain to King Aleryn the First and Queen Merith. Dwarfish tradition is that each child is given a destined purpose in his clan. His Sigil ceremony claimed him as a Healer 1st, and as the First Born Prince he was anointed with special oils and named as Klanagur.

In 1e128 the Chiefs of the various Clans meet at Keoba's Sigil day. This is the first time all the Clan Chiefs gathered in one spot and considered the event where the 1st mountain was coronated as the Throne of the true King of Clans. This title came into question several years later in 1e140 when the King Aleryn failed a quick retaliation on the Orcs after the death of 6th Mountain's Opal Chief and his sons.

Historian and Tiefen bard, Ji-Jac Un, sites this being the catalyst of the later Coylaian Confederacy. Y162, Keoba is appointed healer of the mines of 1st Mountain and was accedited with several heroic acts during collasped and near collasped mine accidents. The Keoba Tress is a structure device still used in Dwarfin Mine to support unstable structures until reinforced blocks can be placed.

Ji-Jac Un sites Dwarfin stories of Keoba saving over 25 Dwarfs in a split of a shaft in Y180 which ultimately cost him his Ax Arm. Unable to fulfill his role in the Mines and disgraced, Keoba exiled himself from the 1st Mountain
