The+Three

To most informed observers on Khorvaire, "The Three" is a reference to the Daughters of Sora Kell, the Hag covey that rules the monstrous nation of Droaam. The concentration of power represented by such monstrous races as Ogres, Minotaurs, Gnolls, Gargoyles, Harpies and Medusae, guided and ruled by Sora Katra, Sora Maenya and Sora Teraza, worries the rulers of Breland, Aundair and the Eldeen Reaches. The business arrangements between the Daughters and House Tharashk, in which monstrous creatures were hired out as mercenaries near the end of the Last War (and often resettled in the kingdoms that had hired them), worries the other Dragonmarked Houses (particularly House Deneith).

To certain historians and scholars of the ancient Dhakaani Empire, the term refers to three powerful Daelkyr lords who led the Fifth Incursion, invading Khorvaire from Xoriat around 7,500 years ago. Two of The Three have names recorded in the lore of the //duur'kala// of Dhakaan: //Tuuriya// the "Kinkiller," who according to legend was slain (or at least its mortal body was destroyed) by Emperor Geshlaa Ku'un (or perhaps Sulaaco Ku'un), second and last of the Ku'un Dynasty, wielding the spear Guurgaal; and //Saamadi// or "Khybersfist," who with one blow shattered the //byeshk// tower shield known as //Second Muut// ("Duty") into 13 pieces -- with one shard embedded in its chest for all time, causing untold agony as it was imprisoned in Khyber by the Gatekeepers.
