Episode 90: Kaveh, Light of Kshahrewar

Get to know the Light of Kshahrewar in his character demo and character miscellany videos. Both give a glimpse into this imperfect Akademiya alumni.

We see Kaveh follow in his father’s footsteps in the Crown of Glory event, which centers around the Interdarshan Championship. Unlike his father, Kaveh wins the competition and “meets” Sachin after returning the diadem.

Bee gives us a recap of the six Darshans of the Akademiya, and Feens tests her knowledge by naming a character for each school. How many can you name? Or are you like Tif who can’t even remember how to pronounce the Darshan names?

Merhak is not just a fashionable accessory to Kaveh’s fit, it’s a fully functioning toolbox made from ancient Deshret-era technology. Along with helping him fight and do his job, Merhak also contains Kaveh’s sketchbook that tells the story of his life.

Bee tells us his theory that perhaps Merhak is infused with the spirit of Jinn. He reminds us that Liloupar used to take the remnants of Jinn and put them in machines, which reminded us of two of our favorite sentient machines: Karkata from Tighnari’s story quest and the primal construct Benben from the Jeht questline.

Whether you buy into the implied love story of Alhaitham and Kaveh or not, there’s no denying that these characters have a special bond. Even after a time of not speaking, Alhaitham took Kaveh in to live with him. Granted it was a house that they were both given, but who’s splitting hairs?

The Palace of Alcazarzaray is Kaveh’s crowned jewel! Dori gave him free rein to design the palace of his dreams, and so he did. Fighting against the practical architecture trend of the time, Kaveh went all out. Unfortunately, his Mora also went all out…of his pockets.

Needing to be frugal in his current financial situation, the Monthly Frustration-Be-Gone furniture set tells us that Kaveh often buys boxes of wine right before they expire at a reduced rate. So next time you see him tipsy, just know he’s racing against time and has to finish that wine before it turns to vinegar.

Our resident personality expert, Bee, did some digging into Kaveh’s potential types based on what we know about this tragic character. He found that our architect friend could fit into three categories: ENFJ-T (Protagonist), INFJ-T (Advocate), and ENFP (Campaigner). Which do you think fits him best?

In this episode, we channeled our best Nancy Kerrigan impersonation after Tonya Harding knocked her knees.
