Daedroth Cezanrar
Translated from the old tongue it literally means "Demon Crown". A
figure of legend thought to be nothing more than myth, he was the driving
force behind the bloody War of the Heavens Bound. Many eons ago, the
Deadroth Cezanrar made an attempt to invade the lands of Light with his
Evil Armies. After his forces were shattered, in an attempt to save
himself, he fled with the daughter of Ra to the Island of the Flame. Ra
rallied the gods of light and gods of other pantheons to rescue his
daughter. When the Daedroth Cezanrar was finally cornered at the flames
which light the son of each new day, he threatened to throw Ra's daughter
to them. The Daedroth Cezanrar made of pact with the gods. He bargained
that if none of the gods or their servants would harm him, he would
return Ra's daughter. Ra agreed saying. "I and my fellow gods present
here pledge that neither we nor our servants will not raise a hand
against you, nor will we allow our fellow gods to do so, if you will
return my daughter unharmed." The Deadroth Cezanrar satisfied with his
bargain returned the daughter of Ra. The gods of light took him and
sealed him away behind six seals, entrusting each to the protection of
one of their peoples. Ages later, the Daedroth Cezanrar raised new Dark
Emissaries and Generals in an effort to break the seals by defeating the
protectors and claiming the seal for the Daedroth Cezanrar. The people
cried to their gods for aid, and the gods went to crush the Demon Crown,
when suddenly they realized they were bound by their oath to him, his
master hand all along, to make it so that no god could oppose him in his
plans. No god nor priest or minion could raise a hand against the
Deadroth Cezanrar, without breaking the Eternal Laws and causing cosmic
war. The Generals and the Emissaries, without the intervention of the
gods, and using the Deadroth Cezanrar's dark power, managed to free him
from his prison where he engaged his plan to forever douse the fires that
light the sun of each new day. In a epic effort organized by the
powerful mortals of the Palladium world, Moonshadow's Heroes aided by

shortly after by the Heroes. Lover of the elven assassin, Crimson, she
bore a son after his death, the only other of the last sons of Lictalon,
Adureth. For a time it was beleived that he had returned to life to

and researched the whereabouts of the tablet that supposedly held the
means of her awakening, in his plan to rebuild the ancient elven empire.
Dandago was slain during her summoning by the intervention of the Heroes,
but the mystic energy released by his death was enough to bring the Elven
Weapon fully into our world. Offering a rule of power, she tempted
Llewellyn Moonshadow to join her, and after he refused she cast the
entire party far into the North. The heroes made their way back, but the
Dark Goddess had already begun her campaign of terror. It was then that
there came the full intervention of the Dragon God, Kym-Nark-Mar, who
lead the Heroes to the Tomb of Lictalon, to retrieve the Staff of

pledge to protect their lives. A massive and powerful man wielding a
sword as tall as most men, he walks in human guise thanks to the help of
an ancient amulet. For, you see, though he has done much good, it has
cost him dearly, much in the ways of freedom, and there are many dark
forces with would like to see him dead, This is why he was beleived to
have been killed so many years ago. There are many things about himself
and the deeds he has done which he can never tell, lest he risk the lives
of those around him or those he has helped, lest the forces of evil
return to extract their terrible revenge on them. It was for this lack
of information that for a time he was not trusted by the heroes, even
suspected to be a spy. Llewellyn Moonshadow ordered him to leave the
heroes and he complied. It was only after the plans of the dragon
Ralkongate were fully carried out, with no risk of revealing them, did he
return and tell them what he could of the truth. He fought galantly by
