Caduter: The Glimmer King, First of his Name, Sovereign of The Gleaming Realm of Xerdani, Keeper of Secrets, High Transmutor, Imperator of the Scale Guard, Son of Dragons, Father of Gems, Lord of the Sun Peaks, Author of Fate, and rightful Ruler of The East and The West to the Sundered Seas and Beyond rules from his Capitol in Glisterhelm: The Jeweled Throne. Not much is known about his personal life or even his appearance for that measure. While he is a secluded individual, his thirst for knowledge is widespread. It is said that his forefathers arrived in Xerdani when it was nothing more than a collection of fishing villages and farmsteads. They quickly gained favor from the citizens when they provided food, taught the people to hunt and fish more effectively, and healed the sick. Under their rule, the borders grew, the Shimmering Fields were discovered, and wealth prospered.

The Glimmer King pushed in his lifetime for an aggressive expansion of Xerdani's borders. He was the one to encourage the founding of Eventide in hopes to one day reclaim the lost secrets of the world. Bards sing of his only love is reading and he keeps two tomes closely guarded as they give him unnatural power and wisdom. Much of the truth is lost to time and retellings, but the constant remains that Caduter is a recluse who yearns for more knowledge of the West. It is even said that he himself created the West Marchers to locate other hidden tomes he yearns to possess. Whatever the truth is, The Glimmer King is pushing for an expansion of epic proportions beyond the current borders of Xerdani.
