Kirkwood is one of the five Elders, the cosmic entities that represent the primal forces of Verden. Kirkwood embodies Fate and is believed to most commonly manifest as a dragon, like the other Elders.
As the Elder of Fate, Kirkwood represents destiny, the threads of time, and the inexorable currents that guide existence. Kirkwood presides over five divine domains that draw power from this cosmic force.
According to the principles of Divinity and Magic on Tarras, Kirkwood is one of the sources of the 25 "god spots" available on Tarras. Each Elder controls five domains, and those who ascend to godhood within Kirkwood's domains draw their power ultimately from this Elder.
Little is truly known about Kirkwood's nature, intentions, or whether this Elder actively involves itself in the affairs of mortals and gods. Like all the Elders, Kirkwood remains a cosmic enigma.
