Davarn

"The body of Davarn, liberator of the amani, is buried in Davarn's Refuge. But his spirit lives on in the heart of every amani who breathes free."

Davarn the Liberator is legendary Amani figure mentioned in TERA lore.

Davarn lived when Amani were enslaved under the Giants Holy Empire.

The Giants branded the Aman with a seal of subjugation that enabled their enslavement. Due to this seal, the Giants were able to control the Aman and sent many to fight and die in their wars over the course of many hundreds of years.

Amidst such adversity and misery rose one Aman warrior, enraged by the endless brutality suffered by his people at the hands of the Giants, named Davarn. Davarn traveled to the Altar of the Deities and set himself on fire in an extreme plea for an end to the terrible subjugation of the Aman.

The pain and cries of this young Aman warrior moved the patron deity Kaia. The Amans have a strong sense of pride. Davarn did not wish for Kaia's direct assistance to the Amans, but rather giving them an opportunity to fight the Giants on a leveled playing field. Therefore Kaia went and look for Lok. With the help of Castanic master craftsmen, Kaia succeeded in nullifying the seal of subjugation. Liberated from the shackles of the seal, the Aman revolted against the Giants, finally winning their freedom after a long and hard fought campaign.

Davarn, the young warrior who served as the key to opening the door to the Aman's freedom, was thereafter revered as the Liberator, and statues commemorating him can easily be found throughout territories inhabited by the Aman.

There are some references to Davarn in game files.

There exist location named "Davarn's Refuge" in game files with teleport scrolls and several NPCs (It's supposedly in Val Kaeli, as Dathrar, [Val Kaeli Defender], Aman male is marked there). Also TERA soundtrack has song "Freedom's Forge (Theme for Davarn's Refuge)", which is theme for Kaiator.

Least one NPC mentions Davarn: Coordinator Beila in Vanguard Bastion.
