Kayarsus
"Great Kayarsus" The Great Kayarsus is a vast system of mountain ranges that forms the eastern frontier of Eärwa , stretching for several thousand miles. Siöl , the oldest and greatest of the Nonmen Mansions, lay under the northern Great Kayarsus, guarding a fortified series of passes leading east into the continent of Eänna . According to some historians, Siöl itself is the Gate of Thayant , the shattering of which marks the beginning of dated human history and the commencing of the Cûno-Halaroi Wars . Aside from the Gate of Thayant, no other major pass linking Eärwa to Eänna is known to exist, although one in the vicinity of Jekhia in far north-eastern High Ainon is likely, given the history of that region and the cultural influence of the Xiuhianni , the only one of the Five Tribes of Men to remain in Eänna.

Kayûtas
"Anasûrimbor Kayûtas" Anasûrimbor Kayûtas is the first son and eldest child of Kellhus and Esmenet , and General of the Kidruhil . He was named after Anasûrimbor Nau-Cayûti .

Appearance

Kayûtas closely resembles his father, Kellhus . He is tall and slender , and has blond hair , blue eyes and a long face . His hair is cropped very short, revealing the contours of his skull (however, by the time the Great Ordeal reaches Agongorea , it has grown enough to be described as "flowing") . He has a plaited beard .

What Came Before

Kayûtas was born in Shimeh , close enough to Moënghus's birth that the two were raised as fraternal twins .

The Judging Eye

Kayûtas rides with his father's Great Ordeal , leading the Kidruhil .

The White-Luck Warrior

At the Eleventh Council of Potentates, Anasûrimbor Kellhus declares the breaking of the Great Ordeal, and Kayûtas is given command of the Men of the Middle North .

The Unholy Consult

At the first Council after Dagliash , Prince Nurbanu Ze openly confronts Proyas, claiming that Kellhus died in the fire. Kayûtas slays him in the blink of an eye, restoring the Anasûrimbor authority over the Great Ordeal. Despite his Dunyain origins, Kayûtas, along with the whole Ordeal, succumbs to the Meat. He and the Exalt-General Nersei Proyas become lovers for some time. It is Kayûtas who bids Proyas accept cannibalism, claiming that something must be eaten . As the Great Ordeal falls on the Scalded, Kayûtas does participate. When Serwa and Sorweel see him, the kilt on his groin is stained with blood, implying that he took part in the unholy congress with dead or dying Ordealmen. Later on, Kayûtas is involved in the assault at Golgotterath . He and his sister Serwa fight the great dragon Scuthula guarding the Intrinsic Gate . Kayûtas' fate after the Resumption is unclear.
