Khemeia¶
"Consider it done. Have a good rest Inwe, you will be needing your strength again soon." — Khemeia (S031)
Khemeia is an Ascendant of Khardas whose "hatred of dragons was legendary" (S031). At the request of Inwe she destroyed the primal red dragon Vixseranyol and her court in the dwarven fortress of Pro'Turra, and in the Council of the Quad she proposed taking the plane of Denitrus from the sleeping Kalar to drive out the archdemon Asmodeus (S031). She is known only from the dreams of Inwe.
The slaying of Vixseranyol¶
After the failed counterattack in the Hollantine Hills, Inwe realised "there was probably no need to even call in this favor … you could have just invited her … but Ascendants have a natural distrust for one another." Khemeia agreed before the request was finished and was gone before she could be given directions; she "already knew where it was". She returned "shortly after", her "dimmed visage" showing that "it had taken more out of her than she would let on", and reported "that Vixseranyol and her court were destroyed and her corpse now lay in the great hall of the fortress. Khemeia's allies had collapsed and warded the fortress so that it would act as a tomb and prison" (S031). The fortress was Pro'Turra, one of the twelve great fortresses of Kahun'Darahl, beneath what is now Proturas.
The Council of the Quad¶
On the Dias of Algahanni, "seated on her curved bronze stool", Khemeia met Inwe, Aion of Kalar and Monan of Nyx during the Hollowing. She doubted that Asmodeus could have seized Denitrus without help and pressed Aion: "I was under the impression that it should not be possible for an outsider to acquire dominion without help from one of YOU?" She saw "only one course of action ahead … we must find a way to take dominion of Denitrus ourselves from Kalar so that we can cast Asmodeus out." When Aion ordered them out, she answered that the dias was neutral ground: "If you cannot hear more, I suggest that it is you who should leave." After he left she warned that "Time is not on our side. These Hollows are destroying the creatures of the deep earth at a stunning rate, and whatever we do is probably already too late for the Elves" (S031).
Gap
The sources do not say who Khemeia was before her Ascension, who her allies at Pro'Turra were, why she hated dragons, or what came of the plan to take Denitrus.
