I am Tothmototh, the Ninth King of the Athlens. I am come from the City of the Athlens located in the divine region called Va. I had come to Ur to seek an antidote for my people who were thinning away into air without cause. When I crossed the threshold between worlds, I heard a lovely thing done by a lady's voice, and I knew it was called music. Music was the thing that cured my people. But I did not go back immediately, for I went about looking for the songstress. And there she was by the clear pools in the caves of Temn Vel, washing and singing to herself. That beautiful melody and voice belonged to a living thing far more beautiful. She was Sured, the last scion of the House of Rothaur, and Rothaur was for whom I made the magical sword Athlening.
From Sured, I learned Rothaur's people were being tyrannized by the evil god called Aiu, who won the lordship of Ur by the dice. I was incensed by the evil things Aiu had done to these poor people, and so I vowed not to return to Va until I defeated this source of all evil. I tamed the tenus, so that they may be of help in a war against Aiu. For that I am called the Tamer of Tenus. Alas, despite all my work and time here, I could not hope to contend with a god, and so I returned to my city where a copy of the Tablets of the Celestial Laws were kept and came to Paradise on the peak of the World Mountain. With the Holy Tablets as my prerogative to summon the Council of the Gods, I laid down the woes of Rothaur's people. Rothaur himself wept when he heard of them as he was at the Council as well. I asked the gods to intervene, to banish Aiu from the face of the earth, but the gods refused for Aiu had won Ur's lordship before this heavenly council. I was mad with rage, and I threw the Holy Tablets on the floor and pointed in the faces of the gods, accusing them to be heartless and unworthy of worship!
When the gods were infuriated by my words, Aroth the Sun God alone stood up and offered to intervene. And the Heavenly Council declared the punishment of banishment for a god that break the conventions of this council. Aroth accepted the punishment and appointed Rothaur to be the driver of the Solar Chariot. With Aroth's favor and reinforcement from the Mystique Isle, the war with Aiu was won. Aiu trapped in a golden casket was thrown into the Great Sea, and Aroth was still driver of the Solar Chariot because Rothaur replaced him in the banishment.
Sured and I married soon after, and we rebuilt Ged Ranil the capital of Rothmenar and renamed it Ged Duin, the City of Children, for the people was eager to repopulate the empty lands. With my knowledge and wisdom, Sured and I initiated a golden age that lasted 5,000 years while we reigned together. I founded more than 10,000 cities and colonies across the world of Ur, and for that I was called the Lord of Ten Thousand Cities. Etoth, Tothgad, Tothmenar, et cetera, were cities named after me.
As an Athlen, I lived long years without aging and illness, but my beloved Sured was about to die of old age. I brought her to Temn Vel, and told her to cross into Va. I did not follow for the Law of Single Entry only allowed one man to travel between worlds as mandated by the gods. In Va and in the Athlen City, Sured will live as one of the Athlens and become young once more, and she would sing of our love for perpetuity. Her singing voice will save my people who never knew song and music, and with that knowledge I died soon after in peace. For that I am known as Savior of Two Worlds. My eldest son whom we named Rothaur succeeded Sured as King of Rothmenar.

I actually like his muzzle as it is. Not everyone is born with the same nose and mouth ... and we are talking about a fictional alien race that just happens to look like cats ...
Yes, indeed, it turns out quite marine-looking. The tenu critter design requires more work in the future. Lets see how it will evolve some time soon, eh? :3

You know.. i like the horse better than the rider itself.. XD. REgardless, this picture is very good and awesome! Those muscles are just.. mmm... sexy... and beautiful. Also, your clothes design for ancient furs like this is very very good. I love those shirts swaying like the wind blowing off and his hair ruffling like that. Feels like he's flying.
