The Kesseroth were a collection of former Tjorkanen clans who fled a war their fellow clans had instigated with the nations of Palai. They fled south to Gellikh, and inhabited the region peacefully until the arrival of the Elthari. Tensions between Elthari tribes caused the Kesseroth people to get wrapped up in Elthari tribal affairs, and The Ashi would eventually form in an attempt to covertly manipulate Elthari politics through kidnappings and assassinations.

After The Shattering of a God, the Kesseroth that survived were left to pick up the pieces of their society and try to survive in a pale ghost of their former homeland.
