The [[Seal of War]] can be found on the way to the top of [[Avechna's Peak]], in the Cave of War. The Seal of War is a metallic red disc, approximately the size of a small shield. Runes are etched around its rim that glow with an inner power. In the centre of the shield is the image of a fist encased in a metallic gauntlet. Disturbingly, the fist sometimes clenches tighter and shifts its grip. The seal floats in the air of its own power and thrums with a lifeforce that makes the very air around it blur.

When the Seals are weakened, the mortals of [[Lusternia]] participate in a series of challenges designed to restore their power.

Kethuru, the Mighty is one of the Soulless and fought alongside Illith at the onset of the Elder Wars. Despite being a formidable foe throughout the Elder Wars and later the Vernal Wars, Kethuru's power would not be fully realized until the final days of the Vernal Gods, when He was the final remaining Soulless, filled with the essence of many of the Elder Gods as well as the Vernal Gods and the mortal races. Its amorphous body began to bloat and expand, blanketing the entire globe of Lusternia and covering every inch of the land with His viscous, suffocating skin.

In Their final act, the Vernal Gods each sacrificed Their own power to form Avechna, the Avenger. Avechna's magick, bolstered by the strength of the last nine remaining Vernal Gods, successfully imprisoned Kethuru out of phase with the Prime Material Plane, trapped behind the Nine Seals.
