Keiva the Lifemaker is widely considered to be the progenitor of most life in Maradul, in addition to having personally shaped much of the physical attributes of the world, in cooperation with Sevantus. She is the mother of the nine Tear-Children, Aliphates, Mallestrade, Calphost, Ranoct, Xuriath, Eis, Dratar, Coritem, and Verae, and despite having withdrawn from an active role in Maradul, her actions are still extremely impactful upon the state of the world. She currently resides within the core of the Twin Sun of Evus, for where her tears stream down and bring life to the lands below. Keiva's greatest foe and reason for her self-imposed hermitage is Nothum, who devours the life that Keiva creates.
