Dark Lords

The "Dark Lords", also more commonly known as "Deadra Lords" and rarely as the "Dark Gods", are extremely powerful entities, often Deadra, that rival even the power and wisdom of even the most ancient of Divine Beings. The Dark Lords are extremely powerful entities who inhabit and control the realms of Oblivion, small pocket dimensions that reside in a dimension that is often refereed to as "Hell". Within these realms of Oblivion, the Dark Lords who control these pocket dimensions are able to create and change anything, including alteration of it's physical reality. Within each realm lay's eternal war as the majority of the Dark Lords launch an eternal war against each other by the usage of their nearly limitlessness numbers of Deadra whom fight in a never ending battle in the hopes that their Dark Lord will become ever stronger so that one day, they can and will rule all of Oblivion and when the time comes, the rule or destruction of Athrunial.
== The birth of a Dark Lord ==
Unlike a Divine Being, a Dark Lord cannot be created nor born as a Dark Lord, instead Dark Lord is a term or title to Deadra whom have climbs the ranks of the Deadra in the eternal wars within the countless realms of Oblivion and have became so powerful, they are able to cast away their connection to their Dark Lord and are able to become their own master. 
Although Divine Being can use Yin release magic, If one gives in to it's corruption or If a Divine Being is corrupted by a Dark Lord or by a powerful dark user, the Divine Being will morph into a Dark Lord although the second is rare.
== Power ==
As expected of such a godly being, Dark Lords rival the power of a Divine Being however unlike a Divine Being on Athrunial, Dark Lords have the ability to mutate and absorb other beings of similar power into their very being, increasing their strength drastically in a short period of time where as a Divine Being under normal circumstances will only become stronger through similar means a mortal would.
Dark Lords like all beings of similar power, they are able to create nearly anything from a object of power, to the creation of a mortal or a similar being, to even a new realm similar in size to their own realm of Oblivion. No matter what they create, such creations use a certain portion of power with usually mortals or deadra only using a  minuscule amount of power however something as large and powerful of a Greater Deadra, a new Divine Being or even a new realm requires a significant amount of energy that will leave the Dark Lord weaken for a significant amount of time, leaving them extremely vulnerable for a time.
== Followers of the Dark Lords ==
Seen as beings of godly power, it is common for mortals to devote themselves to a Dark Lord and worship them in the same matter as one would worship a Divine, only in secret as the worship of a Dark Lord is considered the same as high treason in the civilized portions of Athrunial. Followers of the Dark Lords will often construct elaborate shrines and even massive temples at times to honor and venerate their Dark Lord as well as perform countless ceremonies and rituals, often bloody in nature.
=== Dark Lord Champions and the mark of a Dark Lord ===
Those whom dedicate their body and soul to further their patron Dark Lord's influence on the mortal plane may be judged on their merit and skill or perhaps something, If the Dark Lord feels they are of the most worthy, they will make them a "Champion of the Dark Lords" and engrave their mark of power upon their body, often taking the shape of their symbol and instill a significant amount of power within the mark of power, making them significantly stronger, similar in power to one whom is blessed with a third mark of power from a Divine Being. Spiritually bounded to their Dark Lord at all times, A Dark Lord Champion will do whatever is necessary to increase their Dark Lord's influence, even launch a "Black Crusade" to conquer the civilized lands in the name of the Dark Lords using the followers of the Dark Lords themselvs. Those Champions whom impress their Patron Dark Lord or even another Dark Lord, may gift a Champion with an item of power or a beneficial mutation such as razor sharp claws that are strong as steel to perhaps a tentacle or tail. The most honoured of Champions may be gifted with Ascension to Demonhood, to ascend to become a Deadra Prince, a Deadra of similar power to a Greater Deadra and eventually, possibility a Dark Lord. However if their Dark Lord feels they failed or have abandoned their duty and devotion to them at any point, they can be punished such as making their mutations mutate their Champion into a mindless, mutated monster or simply kill them. When a Champion of the Dark Lords is killed however, their soul is transported to Oblivion and is adsorbed by their patron Dark Lord, taking their strength for their own.
=== Important notes for the Mark of Power ===
# There is only one mark of power, not four tiers of marks like Divine Beings have
# A Mark of Power by a Dark Lord is considerable in power, similar in power to a third and fourth mark of power by a Divine Being
# The Mark of Power engraved by a Dark Lord are permanent and can never be taken off by anyone other than then Supreme Beings. Even if a limb containing, the mark is cut off, it will not effect the bearer in any way with the even mark of power reappearing some time later on the bearer's body.
# .A Dark Lord under normal circumstances can only engrave their Mark of Power upon a Champion from extreme distance due to being within their realm of Oblivion.
# A mark of power will fade away and disappear from one's body if the Dark Lord in question is slain.
# A Dark Lord's mark of power is beneficial however the engravement looks as if it was stitched on badly, giving a raggy, ugly look 
# Those whom recieve a mark of power are permanently bonded to their patron Dark Lord to the point the Dark Lord owns their body and soul. Each other can talk to each other at any moment and can sense each other when nearby. 
# A Dark Lord CAN AT ANY TIME, kill your character off If they feel your character has abandoned them or have lost your way
# If your character is killed by their patron Dark Lord for failing in some regard, DON'T COMPLAIN about it
# A Dark Lord depending on the feats and merit of your character, will keep rewarding your character will gifts, whether mutations or items of power
# Dark Lords rarely mark followers, they are usually extremely picky who they pick
# Those whom have been marked by a Dark Lord can instantly tell if another has a mark of power, regardless If its from the same Dark Lord or not. One whom has a mark of power can sense when another mark of power is nearby so it's impossible to hide one's mark of power, even by cloth or by magic means under normal circumstances.
== The politics of the Dark Lords ==
Unlike Divine Beings whom are often subtle in their actions against another Divine Being whom they dislike or despise , the vast majority of the Dark Lords of Oblivion are bitter rivals, with the vast majority of them wishing to control all of existence, they are willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals, even at the stake of their own life If need be, it means they will stop one of their bitter rivals from gaining an significant advantage over them. To many mortals whom known of them, the Dark Lords are seen nothing more than foolish children, willing to kill each other to gain any sort of power and/or influence over the others and the realms of the universe and are low enough to use mortals and their Deadra servants to wage eternal wars against their rivals whom they would love to either see dead or adsorbed. Due to this, the realms of Oblivion are often nothing more than bloody battlefields that never dry as millions of Deadra fight in countless battles in the hopes their Dark Lord gain any significant amount of power or influence. Still despite their differences and greed, the vast majority of the Dark Lords have the same goal: to gain control of all the realms of Oblivion than when the portals finally open to Athrunial, conquer, enslave and rule or destroy and absorb all life and become the strongest being in the universe. Their is no realm they do not wish to conquer with absolute rule and sharing power with another Dark Lord is unthinkable however it isn't uncommon for a Dark Lord or a number of them to make an alliance with each other for a time to take down a more powerful Dark Lord or to complete an objective they couldn't complete on their own. In the end, it is said a Dark Lord will never truly be victorious in their eternal dreams of conquest or absorb due to their nature.
== Unique Deadra breeds of the Dark Lords ==
* Abyss Knights - Lesser Deadra of the Nameless One, The Abyss Knights are Vyreadra Knights whom have been gifted with demonhood while still retaining their free will and Vyreadra abilities. They are the Nameless One's Elite foot soldiers whom combat abilities rival Laetannian Knights of all calibers.
* Lilim - Also known as "Lilith", Lilim and Lilith are the collective names given to the Greater Deadra of the Nameless Ones. They are by far, the most powerful Succubus Deadra in existence as they are the daughters of the Nameless One and his wives/lovers. They are Succubus of exceptional power and such captivating beauty that even Divine Beings and Dark Lords easily fall prey to their ploys however unlike other Deadra, the Lilim are not "evil" by mortal standards. They carry on their father's old life's ambition of creating a peaceful world where humans and monster can unite in carnal bliss. They have inherited incredibly powerful magic from a Supreme Being, granting them great power where they can travel between realms, even the realms of Oblivion without the risk of the Dark Lords or deadra escaping and are even capable of Yang Release magic as well as their miniature own realms outside of Athrunial.
* Succubus - Lesser Deadra, including the Lesser Succubus and the Feeble Sucubi. Although a universal Deadra technically, Succubus are generally only used and found in the Nameless One's forces whom uses them for espionage and corrupting powerful or/and mortals whom are highly influential within their societies. Succubus are known for their human like nature and unlike most other Deadra, mortals are capable of taming and forming a bond with a Succubus. 
* Succuboichi - also nicknamed as demonic "Kunoichi", they are a rare type of lesser succubus specialized in assassination, tracking and observations and are the most human of the Succubus family to the point they are no different from a mortal and for the most part, lack their "lust" addiction common Succubus have. They are extremely physically fit, even for Deadra standards, allowing them to be greatly swift and agile and are master of stealth and the martial arts. At times, they also function as recruiters, find potential followers for the Nameless and when they find such a person, they will monitor and obverse until they are deemed ready to join, only than will a Succuboichi reveal themselves to the person. Surprisingly Succuboichi can be both female and male and is common for a pair of different genders to work together when necessary, especially under cover where they will often act as a married couple of some resort. Tamed Succuboichi's are extremely rare but are considered the most loyal attendants and bodyguards whom are renowned for their love and devotion.
* Ebonuccubus - Commonly refereed as a "Abyss Gaunt", they are the most rarest type of Succubus besides Lilim's, A Ebonuccubus is a succubus whom has been permanently completely corrupted by raw dark powers and has mutated far beyond their original form set before them. As their nickname suggests, they live in the most abyss places where the light never shines or where the darkness is the strongest. Due to their corruption and mutations, they are incredible strong and durable for a Succubus and are the most skilled in Ying Magic, on par with Lilim's. Ebonuccubus are only found in the Nameless One's service's whom are often used alongside his Abyss Knights whom function as their spell casters or at times vanguards due to their strength and durable.
* Abyss Valkyrie - Commonly called "Dark Valkyrie", "Tainted Valkyrie" and "Corrupted Valkyrie", the rarest Deadra found on Athrunial only, they were once Aeadra Valkyrie's whom fought alongside the Grail Knights of Laetannia but through some means, their hearts, mind and bodies were corrupted, losing their Aeadra like nature and their wings which have either fallen off or are stained black by the corruption. No longer do they fight for the Aeadra, Linderia or for Athrunial, instead they only fight for their master whom they see as their beloved husband whom they swear absolute fealty and what he desires. They only care for their husband and hold deep affection for him, they have little to no concern for anything else unless it is part of his desires. Despite their corruption, they are not succubus, they still retain their serious like warrior like attitude and their high combat abilities whom will only used for her husband's desire. While Aybess Valkyrie's can come off as a Succubus due them wishing to satisfy any of her husband's desire, the vast majority of Abyss Valkyrie's have fallen in love with honorable warriors of order and as a result, has indirectly continued her duties as when she was an Aeadra Valkyrie. Of course an Abyss Valkyre venerate their husband, reverently kneeling before him as If he was a Lord or even a God and always eagerly await his orders. Currently the only handful of Abyss Valkyrie's on Athrunial currently serve the Nameless Ones as elite soldiers used for psychological warfare and at times, bodyguards. .
* Beithir Warriors - Also known as the "Exalted Ones". the Beithir Warriors are the Greater Deadra of the Dark Lord, Solkan whom take on the form of gigantic, humanoid serpents whom are considered the most powerful and skilled warriors that can found on Athrunial and within the Realms of Oblivion. They are considered to be the only group of warriors whom can best a Grail Knight in single combat and survive.
* Keru- Feeble Deadra of the Dark Lord Kerai, the Keru are mortals, creatures and even other Deadra whom have been infected by the plague like disease known simply as the "Taint" and have survived, only for them to live and die to spread the "Taint" like a wildfire. Unlike Corruption, the "Taint" often kills many of the weakest within hours while others whom are stronger wither away and die slowly in an effort to weed out those whom are deemed unworthy of becoming a Keru. Spreading like wildfire like the Black Death, the Taint is highly contagious to the point, it can be transmitted through touch, coughing, a bite, through water etc and cannot be cured through any mean other than a Divine Being. Beings of Power infected with the "Taint" often show no signs as the "Taint" goes into hiding of a sorts, preferring to slowly "Taint" the being, giving them a lower chance of detecting the changes within their bodies until it is too late. After the Taint takes over, If it concludes the Being is strong enough, after the chosen infected dies and their soul is devoured by Kerai, they are reborn as a Keru. Only mere moments are their death, they will be resurrected as If the infected had never died or never had the disease in the first place with the exception of being pale and losing nearly all their hair.. There personality and mortal free will remain however as a Keru, they will have the constant drive and wishes to find others whom have been infected and spread the "Taint" further through infecting their loved ones, friends, associates etc. As a Keru, since the "Taint" feeds them, they are not required to eat or drink like other Deadra. It also provides limited, quick limited regeneration, even the recreation of new body parts within minutes, as such a Keru needs to be completely destroyed or burned to kill a Keru. Much like the Dark Lords however, The Keru are greatly weak to Light Magic and can easily be destroyed by such users proficient in it's use. Due to this weakness, the Keru live underground below the mantle of Athrunial during their time in the mortal realm in an effort to hide themselves from the mortals, choosing to mass in numbers to begin a "Blight", a massive crusade to spread the disease. When a Keru dies however, they permanently die just as a mortal instead of being sent back to Oblivion.
* Keres - The Lesser Deadra of the Dark Lord Kerai, the Keres are Kerai's personally chosen female warriors or are Keru have been promoted. They function as the Hivemind Commanders of the Keru hordes, relying order telepathically and forcing their will on the hordes. When a Keres dies, they are reborn just like other Deadra.
* Kimargía - Commonly referred as "Great Gluttony Ones", these massive Greater Deadra of the Dark Lord Kerai were originally a Keru or Keres whom were forced to feed on a unnatural amount of Keru or Keres in order to in keep themselves alive after sustaining fatal wounds. By feasting on the tainted bodies nearby, their bodies become almost perfectly healed within minutes of the feast however just as soon as they are healed, their body and mind becomes so overwhelmed by "Taint", they essentially become consumed by the "Taint", Their drive to spread the "Taint" through infection is over written by the ever more driving urge to continue to feast on the dead as well as Living. Initially when a Great Gluttony One is born, they are very tall, muscular and agile, in this state, they are often referred to as a "Tyrant" due to their sheer aggressiveness and determination to feed however as they age and feed, they slowly become massive, sluggish and passive creatures and can even come off as caring although this is often a ploy. Young Great Gluttony Ones are often vanguards of Keru hordes or behind them due to their nature while old Great Gluttony Ones often join the Keru Horde in hopes of an easy feast.
* Mazoku - Feeble Deadra of the Dark Lord Daioku created by accident and the descents of rogue Greater Deadra whom took refuge, Mazoku are Deadra that are completely feral in nature, functioning similar to pack oriented predators in the mortal realm however Mazoky have no standard form and lives in hordes due to their low durability and strength.
* Mazanyo - rare Grey Deadra of Yokai, the Mazanyo are mortal-deadra hybrids conceived from a mortal mother and and a Mazoku or Maioku father whom take the form and mindset of a mortal but have enchanced strength, durability and abilities from their Deadra Mazoku or Maioku father, allowing them to become powerful. Since they are a Grey Deadra, Mazanyo have the potenital to become powerful, even more than Maioku however one week out of the year, Mazanyo will transform into a mortal, losing all their power and abilities. 
* Maioku - powerful Deadra of Yokai, they are powerful Deadra whom are descendants of other Maioku or have taken refuge in Yokai and are permitted to live in Yokai by Daioku and Uzumai as long as they don't cause mass destruction to the mortal societies of Yokai(they are still more than allowed to wage war and slaughter). Maioku have no set place in society, some choose to serve Daioku and Uzami directly, some choose to hibernate, minding their own business and some choose to form and lead their own great Deadric Clans on Yokai against the mortal societies. In times of war against other Dark Lords, these Deadric Clans often serve under Daioku and Uzami in an attempt to become more powerful.
* Eternal Crusaders - Grey Deadra of Order, clad head to toe in golden plate armor, they function as Aenarion's front line soldiers.
* Aenarion's Shieldmaidens - Grey Deadra of Order just like the Eternal Crusaders, they are the personal guard of Aenarion
* Maatua - Also known as the Demorans, the Maatua are the Grey Deadra of Khulraud whom function as his Foot soldiers. Known for their intelligence, discipline and skill in war, the Maatua are Deadric like Knights whom live for the thrill of combat and the challenge and dangers it present. The Maatua are also known to be one of the few Deadra species to live in militaristic clans and the only Deadra species to raise and train their young(albeit violently) 
* Tarakona Titan - The Greater Deadra of Khulraud, these massive monsters whom often take on the characistic's of wyverns and Cockatrices, are the vanguard of any Maatua force and are considered one of the powerful breeds of the Greater Deadra due in large part their form. Tarakona Titans are especially feared by mortals of the Mortal Realm, seeing these massive Titans as Corrupted Dragons that are near unkillable.
* Palatine Guard - The Lesser Deadra of Uzumai, they are her's as well as Izayoi's protectors. Donning purple plate armor, although they are by far, not one of the strongest species of deadra, they considered one of the most skilled Deadra in one on one combat and are known to rarely lose a duel. In war, they will either function as the vanguard of Daioku's forces or will function as always, bodyguards to both Uzumai and Daioku.
* Orultseg - The Lesser Deadra of Brisela and the ever watching Rangers of Tartarus, secretive in there ways, they are known to function more as assassins, they watch over the realm and eliminate anyone whom becomes too great of a threat. 
* Harlequin - Grey Deadra of Brisela, they are the Avatars of Brisela whom have the same personality traits and fight similarly to Brisela. As a result, they are unpredictable and are known to be quite mad, or have little to no sanity left. Despite how they may act, they function as her personal agents and Champions and are even her bodyguards in times of war. Although Harlequins are usually female, it is not uncommon for male Harlequins.
== Known Dark Lords ==
=== The Nameless One ===
Originally known as "The Nameless Warrior", "The Hero of Time" and currently known as "The Nameless One", The Nameless One was originally the legendary warrior whom fought during the Dark Ages under the banner of Saint Tryanna as one of her Champions and eventually after Saint Tryanna's demise, he eventually battled Necris after becoming a Divine Being of War and defeated him in single combat, saving the planet and forcing Necris into a deep slumber however in his final moments, Necris used what of his remained of his power and cursed the warrior, corrupting the white holy knight into the very first Vyreadra and through that corruption, a Dark Lord as well. Since that day and his revival some years after his battle with Necris, The Hero of Time's fate is not known by anyone on Athrunial or Oblivion but those whom directly serve the Nameless One as the Eternal King of the Vyreadra within Aklator, at the center of the world.
The Nameless One is considered the most unpredictable of the Dark Lords due to the events that had transpired in his previous life and known to have something akin to multiple personality disorder where he has two distinct personalities, the shattered remains of what he once was whom goes to great strides to continue his duty in disguise while his second personality is that of the neutral evil, calm collected, and calculated Vyreadra whom seeks to take over the world through subtle means so he can rule the world as it is now. Despite being the only Dark Lord on Athrunial, he does not directly intervene with the mortal world and rarely does he take to the field but when he does, he will only appear when he deems it absolute necessary and when he does, he will only battle the heroes of the enemy. To those that survive the battle such as the Laetannian High King, Nilus Abbergenien, he is considered a merciful warrior whom is honorable and chivalrous to those whom he considers a worthy warrior and shows the proper respect. The nameless One's deadra are the Abyss Knights whom take the appearance of Knights whom serve both sides of the cosmic force, Light and Darkness and are known for their martial powers where they are capable of fighting and defeating Laetannian Knights in battle. The Nameless One's other Deadra are the Abyss Valkyrie's whom were originally Aeadra Valkyrie whom he corrupted and now serve him as Elite Shock Soldiers for psychological warfare and at times, bodyguards due to their protective nature. The Nameless One is also the patron Dark Lord of the Succubus family of Deadra whom he often uses extensively for infiltration and Corruption purposes due to his subtle approach to conquering the world. 
=== Kerai ===
Known simply as the "Blight Goddess" by the Dark Lords of Oblivion and the masses and more rarely as the "Night Mother" to her chosen mortals servants, Keres is the Patron Dark Lord of Disease, Famine, Decay and Death and is by far considered arguably the eldest of the Dark Lords in existence. Originally a Seraph of the Aeadra and one of Amriel's most trusted and loyal Handmaidens before she initiated The War of the Heavens, Kerai willingly became the first Dark Lord in existence after Amriel's corruption during the time before the War of the Heavens in order to aid her Lady in her dream of taking over the Mortal Realm by aiding her Lady in the corruption of the Aeadra. Throughout the entirety of The War of the Heavens, Kerai remained at her Lady's side as her most trusted Commander and Companion, even higher than that of Zenthius and Dantes due to her servant-close friend relationship she held with Amriel. During the final battle, Kerai was critically wounded by the Ancient God of War, Nerio and was forced to retreat into the portals of Oblivion in an effort to save herself, not realizing her Lady had already been killed before the battle had already begun.
Since her entombment into Oblivion and the creation of her own realm to which she calls as the "Blighten City" often refereed as the "Undeath City" and as the "Black City" by mortals, Kerai morphed into the Patron Dark Lord of Disease and Death some time after the War of the Heavens had ended after she had perfected the "Taint" disease. Due to her mastery over the "Taint" and the method on how she gains power, Kerai has done little since than, seeing no point in interacting with the mortal realm or doing the dirty work herself, instead preferring to have her endless hordes of Tainted followers doing her work for her. As a result of this, Kerai is one of the least venerated Dark Lords venerated and worshiped within the mortal realm. She is generally only worshiped or venerated when the "Taint" or one of her other countless diseases takes form within the mortal realm. When this occurs, many try to appeal to Kerai in an effort to be spared from the disease. Surprisingly while Kerai is cold and hostile to those whom oppose her, she is surprisingly warm and loving to those whom she deems worthy of her attention, a rare trait amongst Dark Lords 
=== Daioku ===
Also known as the "Great Hunter", the "Great Slayer of War", and as the "Destructioner of Life" by few mortals that know of him, he is known as the "Great Hoaxer" by the other Dark Lords of Oblivion and is often referred as the "Noble One" and as the "Great Protector" by the Elder Divine Beings of the mortal realm. Said to be the second Patron Dark Lord of War whom rules his own realm of Oblivion, Mazokuten, a crude and twisted copy of ancient Maja where humans and demons live together in Hell with his second wive, Uzumai, the Dark Goddess of Pleasure and Lust. Originally a legendary warrior during the Dark Ages that originated from Maja and although many of Daioku's exploits as a mortal have been nearly lost to time, it was said he was a warrior a worth an entire army, so much so he was considered an equal to Matsumuto, one of Saint Tryanna's Champion's. In ancient Maja myth's, it is often stated he was oath siblings with Matsumuto before he joined the Army of Light however there are conflicting stories of what transpired with this relationship. One tale speaks of Daioku breaking his oath with Matsumuto once his Oath Brother left Maja to join the Army of Light while the other tale speaks of the two warriors remaining Oath Brothers with Matsumuto takings oaths of stopping the Army of Darkness no matter the cost while Daioku took oaths to protect Maja no matter the cost as well while his Oath Brother leaves to not just Maja, but the entire world. 
No matter what story is correct, both Warriors took their leaves from each other's company as Matsumuto left Maja while Daioku remained behind. As stated before, much of Daioku's exploits have been lost to time however during this time however Daioku's tales became romanised in Maja history and legends similar to the Nameless One, a legendary warrior whom held off entire armies alone to protect those in need and to protect his homeland. In Maja Legends, is stated that Daioku's greatest feat as a warrior was when he had discovered Ninigita, Maja's original Patron God of War had been corrupted into a Dark Lord whom had taken Izanami, Maja's Goddess of Creation captive. In this particular legend, legend says that Daioku realizing he couldn't defeat his homeland's God of War in single combat by himself, he preyed to the Gods of Maja for their guidance and aid. In response Natsuka, Maja's Summer Goddess and sister to Izanami appeared before the warrior and after judging Daioku worthy, gifted the Kusanagi, the legendary sword of the gods to the lone warrior in his battle against Ninigita. With the Kursanagi in hand, Daioku challenged Ninigita to single combat and after a lengthy battle, Daioku slew the corrupted God of War in single combat before rescuing Izanami from her prison. Impressed with his determination to protect Maja and loyalty to the Gods of old, Izanami offered Daioku Divinity, to morph him into Maja's new Patron God of War however he refused, wishing to achieve the power of the Gods on his own however after gazing upon Izanami for more than a few moments, he was immediately captivated by her and instead of Divinity as a reward, he instead asked for her hand in marriage. For saving her life, Izanami accepted his request, becoming his wife. 
After this event, Daioku continued in his duty in protecting Maja and with Izanami's blessing as well as wielding the Kusanagi, Daioku fended off many invasions set by the Dark Lords, so much so he was considered to much to take on in single combat. It was also during this time, Izanami had her children however it isn't known Daioku sired children with Izanami. Although it was common knowledge Daioku loved Izanami and she eventually herself fell in love him, Daioku always took his duty far more seriously than his relationship with Izanami. Some time after Daioku arose to a God of War using his own strength alone during the later portions of the Dark Ages, Daioku solely became responsible for halting the "Great Taint", a massive Deadra invasion of Maja led by the Patron Dark Lord, Kerai and a dozen Dark Lords at her command. Defeating Keres in battle temporary, Daioku managed to halt the Deadra Invasion and the spreading of the "Taint" disease however when he realized Maja would eventually fall to the forces of darkness even without Kerai leading them, Daioku decided he would make a sacrificial strike on the unlimited hordes and attempt to slay the Dark Lords in the hopes the "Great Taint" would splinter and disappear. Throwing himself into the limitless Deadra hordes, Daioku slew many and even managed to even bring down a few Dark Lords by himself however at that point, Daioku was wounded and fatigued even for a God. Able to sniff out his weakness, Daioku was ambushed by the remaining Dark Lords and was quickly defeated by Dracrouth. Instead of him being killed however, Keres most loyal servant, a Dark Lord by the name of Dracrouth willingly returned to the realms of Oblivion, dragging Daioku to the Black City, there he presented the dying war God to his liege, Keres. Impressed by Dracrouth, Keres gifted him his own realm of Oblivion and took Daioku for her own needs. After his capture and imprisonment within the Black City itself for the entirety of the Dark Ages, Daioku was brought to death countless times over as Kerai continued to perform the "Taint" on his body in hoping to make it stronger and more resistant. Eventually after being brought to death so many times by the "Taint", Daioku's body and mind were corrupted, transforming the one of Maja's God of War into a Dark Lord. 
Upon his transformation into a Dark Lord, he broke out of his imprisonment, severely wounded Kerai in battle and escaped the Black City. With his mind now gone and craving the blood of his enemies, it was said Daioku went on a killing spree, using his new found powers to travel to the many realms of Oblivion, there he took a liking to slaughtering the countless hordes of Deadra's and their masters. Some time after Daioku's mind had calmed and he had killed many of his own kind and adsorbed them, making their power his own, Daioku feeling homesick, he created his own realm of Oblivion named Yokai, a realm that took shape of a twisted Feudal Maja constantly engulfed in war and the spilling of blood. Populated by mortals whom were originally his mortal servants and by the Mazoku, Feable Deadra he created out of accident as well the direct descents of powerful rogue Deadra that sought refuge within his realm, Daioku took his place at the center of the realm as it's absolute King and creator. Even being at home watching over his own mortal realm, Daioku missed Izanami greatly, longing for her however knowing what he was, he knew he could never be with her again so to fill the pain of whatever heart he had left, he mustered the power he had gained from the slaughtering of the Dark Lords he battled and purposely created Uzumai, the Patron God of Love, Pleasure, Lust and Sin to be his wive, lover and his absolute Queen of Yokai. From the love of his second wive and the power he receives during the constant blood shed within his realm, Daioku has since taken a passive stance to outside forces however with the seals on Oblivion about to fail, Daioku has begun planning with Uzumai for an event they only refer as "The Great Scourge". 
=== Valaso ===
Renowned as the "Great Forbidden One",the "Tider of Fate" and as the "indecipherable Riddler" and many more by mortals, Valaso is the Patron Dark Lord of Knowledge and is often associated with Fate and Time. Originally named Yami Dantes, one of the twenty Archangels that was created by Necris to watch over Athrunial. Tasked with the recording and study of all mortals on Athrunial, Yami eventually turned from this position when he became obsessed with the mortal emotions of Love and finding love for his close friend and fellow Archangel, Haveena however when she turned him down, Yami yearned so dearly to understand and feel love, he found himself in a relationship with the youngest of the Archangels, Amriel some time after, little did he know of her true nature. Yami indirectly became the catalyst of all future events when he brought Amriel to a valley imbued with dark energies for one of their dates. It was here, when the two got separated did Amriel find the source of the dark energies, a orb sitting on a pedestal. When she picked it up, she accidentally dropped the orb, revealing a amulet with a red stone. Little did she know it was a Necron stone but without any forward thinking, the moment she picked it up, Amriel morphed into the first Dark Lord in existence. Following this event, Yami did not learn the truth until much later, being completely oblivious due to his obsession with love and not willing to believe she had changed. 
It was Just days before the outbreak of the War in the Heavens, did Amriel finally corrupt Yami into a Dark Lord when she knew she had him completely under her control through seduction and manipulation. When Amriel's ambitious war began, Yami marched to war alongside Amriel and many others whom had sworn loyalty and wasted no time in their crusade to crush the Archangels loyal to Necris and their forces. Taking up the position of Commander, Yami led Amriel's forces into many battles, often leading by example yet such examples often forced Yami to battle his close friend and rival, Arkam. In the later portions of the war, Yami became highly renowned for aiding in the death of Wingaandovraw, the Chief Deity of the Archangels and singly handily defeating the Archangel, Rimiya in single combat, albeit after she had had already been severely wounded fighting her way out of Deadric hordes that reined in the millions. During the final stages of the War, through some means, Yami was able to locate and secure a second Necron Stone for Amriel however upon returning to Amriel's current location, he found only two lifeless corpes, one was Amriel and the other was Zenithius. Realizing Zenithius had killed Amriel after examining her body, Yami's mind shattered, unable to bare the truth that the love of his life was dead and in that one moment of weakness, it was than the Darkness that dwelled within him saw it's opportunity and attacked, using the opportunity to take over Yami's body, mind and spirit, morphing the brainwashed fallen Archangel Yami into the Dark Lord, Valaso. 
After morphing into Valaso, the Dark Lord instantly ripped apart Amriel's corpse and took her Necron Stone for his own, making her power his own. Drunk with such newly found powers, all he could think about was how was he going to punish that wronged him or convert them to his side. Since Haveena had been the one whom had denied him the most and brought the most amount of pain to him, he would track her down and find her. Sending his Deadra out, it did not take long for them to find her and wear her down. After Haveena had been severely wounded, it was only than did Valaso finally appear before her. Upon seeing her weaken body, Valaso offered her the chance to serve him as his equal yet as expected of an Archangel, Haveena declined, stating he was a coward and a fool for allowing the Darkness to take over and for dating Amriel in the first place. After that, the two fought however due to Haveena's injuries she was easily defeated. When Valaso was about to finish her off and absorb her soul into his very being to increase his own power, he was stopped when he was forced to evade a massive beam of light that was fired towards him.Through the disappearance of such light revealed Arkam in front of a healed Haveena             
 Although largely passive as a scholarly figure since the passage of time, Valaso was originally Yami Dantes, one of the twenty Archangels whom was created by Necris to lead the Aeadra and watch over all mortal life. As the Archangel that was given the holy task of acting as Necris Chronicler, Yami spent his time during the Age of Creation recording all mortal life on Athrunial and cataloging it. Some time though during the Age of Creation however, after Yami had watched the countless interactions between mortals and not understanding such emotions such as Love and Pleasure, he asked his closest friend and Archangel, Haveena to aid him in his understanding of such emotions. Unfortunately she had turned him down, telling him they were Gods amongst gods whom had been given a holy task, such emotions were pointless to being's such as themselves even If they study was purely academic in nature. Becoming highly depressed due to Haveena's words, Yami was found by Arkam some time later during his isolation and and was taken in, there the two became close friends after the two began to spar. After one of these many training sessions and Arkam took his leave pertaking to his duty as a Throne, it was than Valaso stumbled across Arkam's journal and read it. In the journal's contents, it was revealed that Haveena and Arkam had became lovers out of academic reasons, the same academic reasons Yami had asked Haveena quite some time ago. It also revealed that the beginning of Yami's and Arkam's relationship was purely artificial as after Haveena had taken notice of Yami's isolation from their civilization, she asked Arkam, her lover to become friends with Yami out of pity. 
Angered and confused by this revelation, Yami initially refused to accept this information until one day, he decided to eve drop on them after the two had met up after a meeting of the Asura. It was there, Yami finally accepted the truth when he had seen the two holding hands and holding each other inappropriately. Letting his emotions getting the best of him, he confronted the two almost immediately, only for him to bewindled even more. Haveena revealed that the relationship she had with Arkam purely artificial and had been done out of academic reasons alone, the same academic reasons Yami wished however she firmly believed Yami would have not been able to control himself in the end so she sought after someone else. She had also wanted to know If Archangels held the same emotions as mortals and simply suppressed them or didn't have any at all, due to this Yami was the perfect subject in seeing reactions from an Archangel. Hearing this, Yami's emotions got the best of him, forcing the Archangel to go into a frenzy. Drawing his blade, Yami charged at the two, Arkam stood infront of Haveena and prepared himself. Just as a duel between them was about to begin, Wingaandovraw, the Chief Deity of the Archangels appeared before the two and stopped the both of them, preventing the two from trading blows. Disappointed with the three of them, especially the two Archangels that stood in his presence, he scolded the three, especially Yami and Haveena reminding them of their duties as an Archangel, that they are the Gods amongst Gods, responsible for the safeguarding of Athrunial and all life sacred to the planet. Although Wingaandovraw sympathized with them, wishing to act on his emotions as well, he reminded them that, although they could not throw away their emotions, for If they did, they would no longer be able understand the mortals they watch over and protect. Instead he reminded them they must suppress their own emotions no matter what so they do not give into the Temptations of mortals nor lose the sight of their original goals given to them by Necris. 
Realizing the errors of their ways after their reminder from the Chief Diety himself, the three forgave each other and went their separate ways. Returning to his duties, Yami took a more passive stance in his studies as he watched over the mortals of Athrunial. It was during this time however is when he finally met the youngest of his fellow Archangels, Amriel and while initially, could barely tolerate her such young behavior, their relationship sooned turned friendship before eventually blossoming into a romantic relationship. Although Yami had initially, been against being in a relationship due to his duties, he could not erase his romantic emotions and thoughts for Haveena and the images he had of her being with Arkam, he wanted to experience the same thing so when Amriel revealed she also wished to experience love, Yami could not resist the temptations and gave in, knowing he was going against everything that was entrusted to him. Accepting the failure he was, Yami fully embraced his relationship with Amriel, becoming intensive lovers with little care in the world If anyone knew. When their romantic relationship became public, although Wingaandovraw was disappointed with them, especially Yami, he decided to allow their relationship to continue, albeit heavily monitored. Their relationship continued like this for quite some time however Yami yearned for a more private and exciting romantic occasion so one day, after he managed to lose the Aeadra that were forced to watch him during his time with Amriel, He brought Amriel to an underground valley on Athrunial that was imbued with warm yet intense purple pulsing energy he had found during one of his many passive studies. After they arrived, the two quickly got separated and it was than Amriel found the source of the purple energy. In the middle of the underground valley, sat a purple orb on a pedestal. Without thinking, Amriel walked upto the pedestal and took the orb into her arms, only for her to lose her grip and drop it, revealing an Amulet with a red stone. Once again, Amriel didn't think twice and picked up the amulet however the moment she picked it up, her body, mind and soul became twisted, becoming black as the void as the amulet slowly merged into her body, it was here the first Dark Lord was birthed into existence. 
With her mind temporary almost shattered yet having access to new powers she could only dream up from before, Amriel needed time to adjust to these newly found powers and to figure what she was and what had happened to her. She didn't know If Yami would know of such powers or would even approve of such powers but she needed to time to put herself back together and she needed to know If Yami was completely loyal to her before she could reveal what just happened to her. Exiting the that portion of the underground valley, she eventually found Yami and forced him to take her back to Aelthuan after she scolded him for such a horrible place to bring a Lady to. Following this, Yami was painfully unaware of Amriel's transformation until it was too late, arguing to himself that while she had changed drastically since he begun courting her, it was the still the same Amriel he fell in love with. When Amriel had Yami completely under her control through manipulation and seduction, she completely and utterly corrupted him into a Dark Lord shortly before The War in the Heavens broke out. When the War in the Heaveans had finally begun, Yami marched to war alongside Amriel as one of her most loyal Commanders and throughout such a war, Yami became responsible for the death's of billions with even the deaths of two Archangels, Wingaandovraw and Rimiya on his hands, albeit with help. During the final stages of the War, through some means, Yami was able to locate and secure a second Necron Stone for Amriel however upon returning to Amriel's current location, he found only two lifeless corpes, one was Amriel and the other was Zenithius. Realizing Zenithius had killed Amriel after examining her body, Yami's mind shattered, unable to bare the truth that the love of his life was dead and in that one moment of weakness, it was than the Darkness that dwelled within him saw it's opportunity and attacked, using the opportunity to take over Yami's body, mind and spirit, morphing the brainwashed fallen Archangel Yami into the Dark Lord, Valaso.     
After morphing into Valaso, the Dark Lord instantly ripped apart Amriel's corpse and took her Necron Stone for his own, making her power his own. Drunk with such newly found powers, all he could think about was how was he going to punish that wronged him or convert them to his side. Since Haveena had been the one whom had denied him the most and brought the most amount of pain to him, he would track her down and find her. Sending his Deadra out, it did not take long for them to find her and wear her down. After Haveena had been severely wounded, it was only than did Valaso finally appear before her. Upon seeing her weaken body, Valaso offered her the chance to serve him as his equal yet as expected of an Archangel, Haveena declined, stating he was a coward and a fool for allowing the Darkness to take over and for dating Amriel in the first place. After that, the two fought however due to Haveena's injuries she was easily defeated. When Valaso was about to finish her off and absorb her soul into his very being to increase his own power, he was stopped when he was forced to evade a massive beam of light that was fired towards him.Through the disappearance of such light revealed Arkam in front of a healed Haveena. What came next was a short but sadden confrontation between two best friends whom tried to make the other see the error of their ways, with Arkam trying in vain to have his dear friend remember who he was and the destiny he held yet Yami had no part in this since he was suppressed and was now replaced by Valaso. Valaso in returned only only scolded the two, using Yami's memories as weapon to make the two mentally falter. Arkam tried apologizing for the actions he and Haveena had done but it was too late as far as Valaso was concerned, If he had even cared. After seeing and hearing the madness Yami had become, Arkam was left with no choice and decided he would need to slew his former friend to save the world. What resulted next was a short yet furious as two mighty warriors clashed blade but in the end, it was Valaso whom won due in large part of having two Necron stones. Before Valaso could land the final strike of Arkam however, he was saved when Haveena mustered all the strength she could wield, throwing Valaso into a river bank of lava. Looking over her shoulder, Haveena wasted no time in telling Arkam to withdraw to safetey, promising she would stay here and finish what must be done. Arkam instead initially hesitated but knowing she wouldn't take no for an answer, he used what remaining strength he had left to flee the battle in disgrace.                         
When she could no longer feel Arkam's presence, Haveena prepared to return to the battle at hand and aid the remaining Aeadra in battle, she caught completely off guard when the charred Valaso climbed himself out of the lava transformed. Cladded head to toe in demonic plate armor and with a great sword to match, he wasted no time in charging Haveena with eerie silence. Although Haveena was able to defend herself, she could do little but hold off the enviable as Valaso refused to give her a chance of an opening. After Haveena had been beaten to a bulp to the point she no longer even looked like the same person, he used his new found powers to turn her into his very first Greater Deadra and his very first Hideul. In his final moments in the mortal realm, Yami, mustering all the will he had remained, he managed to take control of Valaso, determined to find out If Haveena and Arkam had told Valaso the truth before they were defeated. Somehow managing to break in the Great White Tower of Kisitus where Haveena lived, he went through her personal belongings until he found her journal. Taking his time to read every page of this journal, Yami became shocked and heart broken when he learned the truth......Haveena loved him with all her heart to the point that If he had asked her to give up their powers as Archangels to be together, she would have happily agreed since she had always yearned for a normal life. Realizing what he had done, what he could had have and seeing what monstrosity that was the true love of his life, Yami's mind completely and utterly shattered for all time. With no spark of hope remaining and his mind broken well passed repair, Yami almost ceased to exist, becoming nothing more of a shell of what he was once was. Sensing the opportunity once again, Valaso seized Yami's body, only this time, he removed Yami and himself apart, allowing him permanent control over Yami's body. Shortly after this event, The War in the Heavens ended when the remaining Aeadrain forces led by the Valkyrie, Lendira managed to open massive portals around the planet and suck all the Dark Lords and their Deadra into the realm of Oblivion. Losing all the power he had gained from the Necron Stones once he had been thrown into Oblivion with Haveena, Valaso took a realm for his own and reforged it into his own, Soulstorm. From the center of his realm within his citadel, he immediately began his plans for the invasion of the Mortal realm in the hopes of locating and using the power of the Necron stones for himself.                         
When the Dark Ages began, Valaso was amongst one of the very first Dark Lords to led his hordes into the Mortal Realm and unleash hell amongst the mortals of the Mortal realm. Valaso's exploits during the Dark Ages became legendary amongst the Dark Lords due to his conquering of the Rominian Tribes in the kraymvrik wastes single handily and aiding greatly in the conquering of Thrymir. His most well known exploit however was locating and taking a Necron stone for himself, empowering him greatly. This in returned allowed him to conquer the massive Empire of Kanika and harvesting the millions of souls that lived within it, allowing him to ascend to the Patron Dark Lord of Knowledge. No longer needing to fight himself, he used his Necron stone's godly power to create Zargron, his most loyal and skilled servant. As a parting gift, Valaso gave the greatly diminished Necron Stone and Haveena to Zargron to aid him in his duties dedicated to Valaso. After this, Valaso returned to Soulstorm to where he remains to this day, performing whatever ill experiments in his citadel.                         
=== Uzumai ===
The Patron Dark Lord of Love, Pleasure,Lust and Sin, Uzumai is the wive of the Patron Dark Lord of War, Daioku and is the Queen of Yokai as well as the mother of their infant daughter, Izayoi. Created by Daioku to be the replacement of Izanami, Uzumai functions as the warm loving and caring wive of Daioku, as a result, Uzumai rarely deals with other Dark Lords, let alone mortals outside of ruling Yokai. Uzumai is perhaps the most unusual of the Dark Lords due to her very nature, although she can be harsh and strict towards her servants and even be cruel at times, Uzumai is by far, the most human of all the Dark Lords, caring greatly for those she cares about and those whom have earned her respect. Uzumai only Deadra are the Palatine Guard, her bodygaurds that are sworn to protect her and especially, Izayoi
=== Khulrauld ===
"Surrender yourselves to me, completely and utterly and I shall protect you from the horrors of the hell you called home...There are worse masters to serve.......far worse than me.....All I require is your servitude...."
Also pronounced as Khulrad-Kul. Known by many titles such the "Dark God of Slaughter", the "Genocide King", the "King of Rape", the "Destroyer of Worlds" and as the "Avatar of Damnation" as well as many more, Khulrauld is the Archangel, Tarinuva whom turned into the very first Patron Dark Lord whom, unlike the other Patron Dark Lords whom whom capitalize on one aspect of nature or emotion, Khulrauld is heavily associated with many aspects such as war, death, chaos, slavery, rape and destruction as well as emotions such as anger, pride and jealously. He is by far one of the most powerful Dark Lords in existence and is by far, the most well known Dark Lord in the mortal plane due to his active involvement in mortal affairs, often going to great length's to influence those in power to aid him in his schemes to tempting those with power in exchange for their eternal servitude to him. Even if he did not interact with the mortal realm, his feats throughout history are so well documented, he is considered the "Ultimate Evil" on Athrunial, the greatest mortal enemy to all life on the planet that needs to be defeated and destroyed at any cost.
Despite being the original Patron Dark Lord, Khulrauld was originally Tarinuva, the sixth Archangel whom was originally known as the "Guardian of Light", the protector of Aelthuan, the one whom was given the holy task by Necris himself to seek out any Darkness and destroy it with the Light that he had been blessed with. Unfortunately due to his duties as an Archangel, he was forced into a solitary life, forced to complete his duties alone and in complete secrecy for all time due to the risk the Darkness held, he could not allow the other Archangels from learning about the existence of the Darkness or worse, become Corrupted and become the thing he swore to protect against. Sensing a great evil approaching Athrunial from afar, Wingaandovraw sent both Archaon and Tarinuva to find this eternal threat and destroy it and If they couldn't, contain it. After a great many years, the two eventually found this threat but what this threat was, is unknown as Archaon died during the War in the Heavens, taking the knowledge with him and Khulrauld refuses to speak about the matter. Whatever it was, this threat was so great, that even the combined might of Two Archangels could not stop it, so much so that the two were on the verge of death when Tarinuva finally choose to sacrifice himself to save Archaon's life and hoped his last, desperate attack would be enough. 
"I maybe lost to my siblings, they may never understand or feel what I had to endure or what deeds or actions I had to do to safeguard not just them but all of Athrunial. They may not see me win or die here today.....but Athrunial and the Archangels will go on and one day, THEY WILL TRIUMPH!" 
-The Guardian of Light's final words to the Great Threat before valiently sacrificing himself.
Although Archeon initially refused to allow his friend to sacrifice himself to save him, he eventually accepted his friend's request and withdrew in tears but did not look back. What transpired afterwards is unknown but some time after a exceeding large explosion had occurred, Archaon while completing his duty, found what remained of Tarinuva, surprised that not only did he survive(Albeit missing his right arm and his legs) but his skin tone had become grey and his damaged golden armor had changed to that of silver, little did Archaon know that Tarinuva had been tainted by the Darkness. Wasting no time, Archaon returned to Wingaandovraw with Tarinuva. Upon their return, Wingaandovraw took Tarinuva for treatment while sending Archaon off to return to his duties. After a great many years had finally passed, permitting Tarinuva's body to heal completely, allowing him regain his consciousness, it was than that Wingaandovraw finally revealed the truth to Tarinuva. Although he had managed to temporary defeat the Great Threat, It came at a great cost, he had not only been tainted by the darkness by whatever this Great Threat was but he had also became a "Null", a being that held no presence, a being with no soul, a being that defied all logic and reasoning. Just from being Alive confused Tarinuva greatly but now being told that he was a Null only caused more confusion yet, not even Wingaandovraw could explain how a Null would function since for all intents and purposes, Tarinuva was the first Null into existence. Not knowing any better, Wingaandovraw sent Tarinuva off to continue his duty albeit on Athrunial. It was during this time, Tarinuva's true powers emerged, while he retained his powers over the Light, he soon realized he had also gained control of the Darkness as well, making him the first Yin-Yang user. Realizing he had partly became what he had sought to destroy, Tarinuva's isolated himself further than he had already to protect his siblings however after becoming a Null, despite Tarinuva taking up many measures to continue his duty and protect his duties from himself, when his sibling began took notice of him being "Different" to the point his very presence alone was unbearable, they almost immediately abandoned him to whatever fate he was to have, even Archeon abandoned him in the end. Initially Tarniuva was able to cope with the pain of being abandoned by his own siblings out of the contexts of being to complete his duty and defeating the Great Threat but eventually, even he could not handle the fact he was abandoned simply due to the fact he had been "Changed" when he had sacrificed himself to save them and their home. The sheer fact that even Archeon, whom had been there almost the entire time and the one whom had recovered him made it far worse. 
Such thinking eventually made the Twilight Archangel bitter and resentful towards his siblings and the Aeadra as a whole. In time however, his loneliness and his abandonment by the Archangels turned his bitterness to near insanity, until one fateful day he was approached and befriended by a woman named Amriel. In the beginning, Tarinuva had no interest in Amriel at all, believing the Archangels were using her to some end but as time went on, he eventually opened up to her, becoming close friends once he realized she simply wanted to be friends. Their friendship eventually gained the attention of the Archangels and although the vast majority had no interest in the matter, it was the Archangel, Zenithus whom grew jealous over their relationship to the point, Zenithius forced Amriel from never speaking to Tarinuva ever again. Now when Amriel told Tarinuva she was no longer allowed to see him otherwise Zenithus would end his romantic relations with her, something within Tarinuva snapped, the idea he was going to be abandoned all over again, the idea he would have to suffer all over again just because he sacrificed himself for the greater good and was going to be punished for it again pushed him past his break limit. In that moment, whatever sanity Tarinuva had left was gone and in it's place, was pure anger. Without thinking, Tarinuva jumped on Amriel, nearly suffocating the life out of her frail body. It was than he noticed her feminine like body. In his anger with no real sense of what he was doing, Tarinuva gave into his emotions completely, taking the initiative to rip off Ambriel's clothes before proceeding to rape her repeatedly, taking her virginity in the process. When he was done, he took his leave, leaving Amriel for her dead with her naked and shivering body on the ground covered in fluids. 
It took some time but eventually Tarinuva did return to his senses and when he did finally remember the crime he had done, he became so horrified by the atrocity he had committed, he exiled himself completely from his fellow Archangels and the Aeadra as a whole. 
"Despite what I have done to save this world and the Archangels, by the actions I have performed on another of my siblings, I have left only one option left to me......I am no Archangel....I am no Guardian whom protects the Light....The path of the Exile is the only path left remaining to me....The Guardian of the Light, the Archangel, Tarinuva is no more and he will never wage war again."
-Tarinuva's final words to himself before morphing into the Exile known as Khulrauld 
From the moment he entered exile, the Archangel, Tarinuva ceased to exist, instead in his place was simply a exile named Khulrauld. With himself no longer considering himself to be an Archangel any longer, in a way, Tarinuva felt he had been released from the shackles of the morals of the Archangels and felt free. Although he was now free to make his own decisions, he did not forget why and whom he was created by, he didn't forget his duty or what was required of him. His hatred for himself and the Archangels remained very much alive but even If he no longer considered himself to be an Archangel, he would not let it prevent him from completing his duty that Necris had given him but now with the freedom he now held, he would do it in his own way, even if it led to the death and misery of others, the needs of the many and safety of the world outweighed the need of the few. Removing his tainted angelic wings and donning a onyx suit of armor, Tarinuva abandoned his past and became Khulrauld the Exile, the wandering hero. Traveling around Athrunial in his search to destroy whatever Darkness there was, Khulrauld quickly arose to prominence, quickly being regarded as the "Back Hawk Hero" and as the "Oxynx Knight" by the mortals of Athrunial due to throwing himself into harm's way and defending those whom needed protection yet Khulrauld was not the white knight fantasied by many. Although regarded highly as a Hero to the point he could be best described as perhaps Athrunial's first Hero, it was not below Khulrauld to sacrifice many or leave places in flame If it meant achieving his goals.As time went on however, he began to see the worst of humanity and all mortal kind, and in return, it slowly began to change his perception that despite the efforts of the Archangels and the Black Hawk Hero, it seemed that all mortal life was destined to destroy itself one day. 
When the War in the Heavens broke out and during the vast majority of it, Khulrauld, known only as the Black Hawk Hero and the Onyx Knight fought independently from the Archangels and the Dark Lords led by Amriel, instead Khulrauld went wherever the fighting was thickest and where the darkness manifested the most, resulting Khulrauld in fighting in the bloodiest battles of the War. During this great war, Khulrauld's exploits became so renowned that he was considered by both the Archangels and the Dark Lords too much to take on in single combat, so much so that after Khulrauld had managed to defeat over a dozen Dark Lords in single combat and managed to duel the Archangel, Rimiya to a stale mate, he was considered too much of a wild card to be left alive so eventually both the Archangels and the Dark Lords began making plans to either have the Hero either join them or die. Towards the later stages of the war, the identity of Khulrauld was finally revealed after he had been severely wounded by the Dark Lord dou, Udinod and Leshehae during the Battle of Pharoe. Despite being able to drive them off, before he was able to withdraw from the battle to recover his injuries, he was once again confronted by the Archangel, Rimiya. Unable to hold her advance off for long, Rimiya was eventually able to defeat him, revealing the Black Hawk Hero's identity when she cracked his helmet that hid his face. Revealing Tarinuva's face, Rimiya attempted to persuade her sibling back to their side however due to his presence being a Null, she was unable to appear sincere. 
"Tarinuva....Remember who......you are....Remember that you are the seeker of.......the Darkness, Athrunial's Guardian of Light...There's no reason for you.....to fight....against us......You can still.....return....to what is.....left of our domain. 
.......I have no Destiny......The one you speak of......the Archangel......named.....Tarinuva no longer walks....In his steed....is simply the Exile......Khulrauld the Exile....." 
-Rimiya tries in vain to persuade Tarinuva to return her and the Archangels 
Believing Rimiya was simply toying with him, Khulrauld refused to believe his former sister, he refused to believe she or any of their siblings actually carried any remorse in their body for him and seeing how Rimiya now believed her long lost brother was now and forever lost to her and all their siblings, Rimiya, without hesitation charged in for the kill and proceed to finish him, seeing no reason to keep Tarinuva alive. Before Rimiya could land the final strike however, Amriel, The Dark Mistress herself and accompanied by the Dark Lords dou, Udinod and Leshehae appeared between her and Tarinuva. Having no choice, Rimiya was forced to remove herself from the battle, leaving Khulrauld's fate to Amriel. Instead of being Killed, Khulrauld was healed of his injuries and when he awoken, he was approached by Amriel. Despite Khulrauld's thoughts, Amriel told him she had forgiven him for what he had done to her so long ago and was happy she had managed to rescue an old friend. Seemingly looking sincere and caring towards him, something he had not felt in thousands of years since his time as an Archangel, Khulrauld in return, became conflicted with himself. He was no longer an archangel as far as he was concerned and with Rimiya's resolve to permanently end him, it was clear to him there was no going back yet Amriel had forgiven him and wished for him once more like they used to. Sensing her Opportunity, Amriel fed exactly what Khulrauld needed to hear, telling him that no matter what anyone thinks of him, she will always be there for him as his friend and If he stayed with her, he would never again. Afraid to deal with the same pain again and believing the rest of the Archangels have abandoned him forever, Khulrauld gave in to Amriel's sweet words and swore fealty to her, willing morphing himself into a Dark Lord. Under Amriel's orders however, Khulrauld would continue his disguise as the Black Hawk Hero, going where ever the Darkness was and routing. Eventually Khulrauld was able to infiltrate the Archangels under the guise of a sane Tarinuva and managed to gain the trust of Wingaandovraw once more. This in return allowed Khulraud to rely crucial information to Amriel, allowing her to outmaneuver the Archangel forces. Eventually this accumulated in one of the greatest betrayals in history, The Arch Deity of the Archangels, Wingaandovraw was betrayed when Khulraud, relied Wingaandovraw's complete battle plan to Amriel and her forces, leading to Wingaandovraw's forces being almost entirely wiped out during one of the most pivotal battles of the war. This in return led to the death of the vast majority of the Aeadra's forces and Wingaandovraw himself after he had chosen to sacrifice himself to bide time for the survivors to escape and regroup, cementing Khulraud place into the ranks of the Dark Lords. For the reminder of the war once Wingaandoraw had been slain, Khulraud officially took up the mantle of Dark Lord, becoming one of Amriel most loyal warriors, there he personally led Amriel's forces into many battles and wining many that were crucial to winning the war, earning much recognition from both the Archangels and the Dark Lords as one of the most feared Dark Lords to have ever walked Athrunial. During the final portions of the war however, his infamy would reach it's climax when he single handily slew the Archangel, Milroas and defeated the Archangel, Uma in single combat as well, albeit Uma was able to escape death. 
With the death of Amriel and the Aeadra's triumph victory over Khulraud and the rest of the Dark Lords, by some unknown power, they were casted into the fractured realm of Oblivion and were sealed away, unable to enter the Mortal World by any means until the seals would break away. Once Khulraud was incarcerated in Oblivion, wasting no time, Khulraud used much of his power to create Dementia, the Deadric realm that would be similar to the future realm of Yokai, a parallel twisted, desolate realm of the mortal plane that is always undergoing some type of an apocalypse. From there, he created he created his own Deadra, the lesser Maatua and the greater Tarakona as his own personal servants and warriors that would do his bidding. After that, Khulraud, knowing it would only be a matter of time before the seals would become weaken enough for him to enter the Mortal World once again, he immediately began planning for his invasion of the Mortal Plane. During the Age of Fire, in an attempt to empower himself and bring his plans to fruition much sooner, Khulraud subtly manipulated the newly free mortals's ideals to his own, influencing them greatly to his ideal's. With such ideals, Khulraud indirectly became the cause of the many wars that took place during this time with his crown achievement being the beginning of the Dark Ages and the manipulation that led to his freedom as well as the other Dark Lords in oblivion. During the final battle of the War of the Red Diamond, Khulraud answered one of his servant's prayer and blessed him with the knowledge of a ritual that could supposedly save him and his kingdom. Faced with no alternative, the Magisters of the Xerxes Imperium performed the ritual in the hopes it could save them, yet in the end, it held the opposite effect. Not realizing it was a ruse from the beginning until after the ritual was completed, the ritual caused a massive explosion, taking what remained of the Xerxes Imperium with it and the advancing forces of the the Holy Ruvelia Empire, killing everyone within minutes of the explosion. The end result was the death of millions and the weakening of the seals that held the Jaws of Oblivion closed. With the combined strength of the Dark Lords, the seal's strength proved no much, allowing the Dark Lords to burst free from Oblivion and into the Mortal Realm, allowing them to cause mass chaos amongst the mortals and thus beginning the true start of the Dark Ages. From the very beginning, Khulraud was one of the first amongst the Dark Lords to enter the Mortal Realm and with his army of Maatua behind him, just as with his infamy during the later portions War in the Heavens, he became one of the most renowned and most feared of the Dark Lords during the Dark Ages, due to the mass amounts of genocides and destruction he caused using his Maatua. Despite his many victories over the Mortals of Athrunianl, he was eventually defeated by the combined might of the seven legendary Champions of Saint Tryanna and the Atua, forcing the mighty Dark Lord to retreat back into the realms of Oblivion. Due to his severe injuries, Khulraud was not present during the later stages of the Dark Ages or even the final battles, instead he was forced to watch as his fellow Dark Lords and their Deadra were driven back into the realms of Oblivion. With the resealing of the gates and the defeat of Necris by the hands of the Hero of Time, thus starting the Age of Cinders, Khulraud has begun planning once more to invade Athrunial and in the mean time of such planning, he continues to manipulate the mortals of Athrunial through subtle means while waging war on his fellow Dark Lords with his deadra in the hopes of gaining more power. 
=== Solkan ===
An ancient Dark Lord of unknown origins whom often takes the form of a great Serpent, Solkan is often associated with war and honor and is often considered by many to be the true patron Dark Lord of War, Glory and surprising Honor. He is rather unusual for a Dark Lord in the fact he is not "chaotic evil" by mortal standards as Solkan has no desire to conquer the mortal plane and rise it in flames. Instead Solkan is interested in challenging the greatest of the mortal races and see If they can withstand his assault and come out on top. Solkan only deadra at his command are the fabled Beithir Warriors, Greater Deadra whom were originally heroic warriors whom performed a great heroic or infamous feat, these warrior are considered some of the most skilled Deadra to walk the realms of Oblivion and are known to be the only warriors that are capable of defeating a Grail Knight in single combat and survive the ordeal.
=== Malice ===
One of the first Dark Lords that appeared shortly after the War in the Heavens, Malice is one of the oldest Dark Lords in existence and like his name would suggest, he is the patron Dark Lord of Anarchy, betrayal and suffering and is even worshiped by mortals as a Divine Being of Anarchy at times. Malice is regarded as being the most hated of all the Dark Lords, at least in their eyes anyway due to being the patron being of anarchy. He is noted for gaining power whenever anarchy occurs within the mortal realm or within the realms of Oblivion, as a result, many of the Dark Lords consider him truly unkillable due to him gaining power in almost any action that requires violence. Malice has no known Deadra under his command specifically due to the fact he doesn't need to wage war to gain power.
=== Brisela ===
Known as the "Mad Princess", Brisela is the unpredictable Patron Dark Lord of Madness and is considered a minor Dark Lord of mutation. From her throne, she rules the twisted and mutated realm that is called Tartarus, a realm of uncertainly and of no logic. It is a realm where nothing often makes sense and is always confusing to the sane however for those whom are on the edge, Tartarus is considered the ultimate as it is the perfect place to lose their sanity for all time and are still accepted. This leaves Tartarus a realm comprised entirely of those whom have gone mad through some means while the world goes through the same madness. It is common for bodies of water to be vomit one moment before turning to sweet and delicious alcohol and the weather is never what is seems, it could rain cats and dogs to even houses. Although Deadra themselves are quite rare on Tartarus, Brisela has her own Deadra to watch over Tartarus, the first is Tartarus Ranger's, the Orultseg whom oversee the realm and are tasked with eliminating anyone whom's madness goes too far. The other is the Harlequin agents whom function as Brisela's agents and personal servants. Due to her madness and her unyielding love for mutation, many believe she is the lover of the Patron Dark Lord, Vullen due to the close relationship they have although what the true context of this relationship is unknown.
Brisela was originally the eleventh Archangel created by Necris however what her role was as an Archangel is unknown. Brisela's early life is unknown and the only traits known of her was her fanatical dedication to Necris to the point of obsession, which often put her at odds with the other Archangels. Due to feeling like some sort of outcast due to her dedication later in her life, Brisela was befriended by the Archangel, Amriel and formed a close friendship with her due to the two feeling like outcasts. Right before the dawning of the War in the Heavens, Brisela willing became a Dark Lord and swore fealty to her after Amriel confronted her for her help in her overthrowing of the Archangels whom wronged them. After her morphing, this was the time when Brisela began to lose whatever sanity she held as her dedication to Amriel grew so high, it became madness itself. Much of Brisela's exploits during the War is unknown however it is she known she was one of the Dark Lords whom led the assault during the final assault on Aelthuan, it was there where she fought her sister, Yulla and slew her at the very gates itself however her victory was short lived when she was forced to retreat when Hexion appeared. Following the ending of the War in the Heavens and the death of Amriel, Brisela has been content sitting in Tartarus, watching those whom are almost as mad as her go through out their daily lives, finding enjoyment through the actions of their madness. In the current day, worship of Brisela is rare due to only appearing towards the most madding of mortals however there are shrines scattered about Athrunial. Brisela is considered not entirely evil by Mortals and while it isn't accepted in society to public worship her for obvious reasons, most tend to look the other way when such people leave civilization to worship with some seeing it as a blessing as the worst of society leaves to most likely die in the wilderness. 
=== Bryrja ===
Is considered the most powerful Dark Lord in existence due to the fact she holds two Necron Stones within her body through unknown means. Bryrja was originally one of Saint Tryanna's Champions in the Army of Light during the Dark Ages and was a mortal Valkyrie warrior blessed by the Seraph, Lendira. Bryja eventually, for reasons known only to herself presumably turned on Saint Tryanna and her siblings during the Dark Ages some time after she was given a Necron Stone by Saint Tryanna to use as a weapon against the Deadra. During her betrayal, legend says she had hunted down her sword sibling, Matsumuto and killed him for his Necron Stones. some years later, she was eventually captured by a Dark Lord whom used extensive rape and torture to get her to cough up the Necron Stones. When Bryrja spirit was nearly broken, in a last fit of eternal rage for the Dark Lord and in an attempt to save herself, Bryja gave in completely to the temptations of her Two Necron Stones and absorbed the two into her very being, creating her into the very first Lilith Succubus Dark Lord. With her new power, she was able to easily overpower the Dark Lord, kill him than absorb his power before making his realm of Oblivion her own and currently lives to this day as a Dark Lord.
Unlike the other Dark Lords, Bryrja is known to be seclusive and rarely interacts with the Dark Lords , seeing them as ignorant children however for reasons unknown, she has a permanent alliance with the Dark Lord, The Nameless One however what the context or contents of this Alliance isn't known, the only thing known from this Alliance is that Bryrja is granted a number of the Nameless One's Greater Deadra, the Lilith Succubus and a few other Deadra whom serve her in multiple ways since Bryrja has no Deadra of her own, deciding not to weaken her own power by creating Deadra of her own. Her realm of Oblivion is Umeariel, the Shrouded Isles which consists of a dozen or so isles covered in deep forests and mountain ridges with the ocean with being purple and the skies darkened. On the center island is Bryrja's ebony Citadel like tower where she resides.
=== Tasesren ===
Known as the "Everchanger", the "Great seeker" and as the "Great Eye of Madness", Tasesren is an ancient Dark of unknown origins Lord whom is heavily associated with secretive plotting, deceit and conspiracies. Much like the majority of the Dark Lords, Tasesren seeks the domination of Athrunial and the destruction of those in power by subtle means, a rarity amongst Dark Lords. Truth be told, it could even be said Tasesren has no interest in the mortal world, instead seeing the mortal realm nothing more than a plane that can provide energy for him through deceit, murder and plotting against those in power. In truth, he greatly enjoy's aiding those whom seek power through deceit and murder for every action committed from such planning but make no mistake, every action Tasesren makes is a thoroughly planned out action that, will in some way be beneficial to him, whether in the short term or many eon's in the future. It could also be said that Tasesren does not even plot to gain any type of power or towards some end, instead simply plotting and deceiving those for the sheer sake of it. As a result of this, Tasesren is perhaps one of the most ill understood Dark Lords that exist yet because of his actions, Tasesren is considered one of the most powerful Dark Lords in existence and is said once the "End Times" begins, he will be able to morph into a Patron Dark Lord. As a last side note, Tasesren, much like the Nameless One, has a Permanent Alliance with the Dark Lord, Nelgrina.

Known only as the "Manananggal King" , Goliath is the mutated and ever sleeping Patron Dark Lord of the Hunt and is and forefather of the Vorgolask Vyreadra bloodline and is the only remaining Dark Lord on the Mortal realm besides the Vyreadra King himself. Originally known to have been a mortal warrior that enjoyed the thrill of the Hunt, Goliath rose to prominence during the final days of the Dark Ages serving Sigismund the Valiant hunting down and killing large beasts of war. Known to have fought in the final battle of the Dark Ages, it was said after he had slaughter many, he was eventually severely wounded by the beasts of corruption and was forced to retreat before the battle ended. After the battle and at the beginning of the Age of Cinders and the formation of the Rominian Kingdom by Sigismund the Valiant, Goliath continued to serve the Rominian High King loyally for many years however due to his injuries sustained during the final battle of the Dark Ages, he was forced to resign from fighting, preventing him from ever enjoying the thrill of the hunt ever again. After no longer being able to handle the depression and feeling useless to the High King, Goliath locked himself away and preyed to the Gods, hoping that ANY God would answer his prayer and to much of his surprise, a god did answer........only it wasn't the god he wished for.
Hearing his plea, The Patron Dark Lord of Mutation, Vullen took the form of an benevolent God and answered the pleases of the injured warrior, offering him a deal. In exchange for his eternal service to him and him alone, he would heal all of Goliath's injuries so that he could serve the High King once more and he would even grant him immortality so he could better serve him. Although hesitant at first, Goliath was so desperate to better serve his High King and to enjoy the thrill of the Hunt once more, he agreed to the pact with Vullen. True to his word, Vullen kept his side of the bargain, he instantly healed Goliath's wounds and granted the aged warrior immortality however after a few moments, Goliath mutated into a unstable monstrosity. Through the pain of his body continuing to mutate, Goliath lost whatever sanity he had left and went on a rampage, indirectly causing the beginning of the Rominian Kingdom when he slew the aged High King in his personal quarters and anyone else he came across. From the words of the Vyreadra, In Goliath's madness, in a single day and night, he single handily slaughtered the entire populace of the Capital of the Rominian Kingdom, thus beginning the fall of the Rominian Kingdom. After the destruction of the Rominian Capital, Goliath now only having the instincts of a wild animal, to feed and hunt, he traveled far and wide amongst the Rominian Kingdom, wrecking havoc no matter where he went, slaughtering all in his path. Eventually when the mutated mess that was Goliath entered the civilized lands some time later after his killing in the north, this was when the Nameless One, the Vyreadra King took notice of this mutated monstrosity and decided to act. After locating Goliath, The Nameless One quickly defeated the monstrous monstrosity and stabilized the mutations upon his wrecked body by gifting Goliath with his own blood, transforming the mutated Goliath into a first generation Vyreadra. 
Although Goliath's mutations stabilized, temporary giving him a peace of mind for a few moments, when the Nameless One blood began to take effect in his body, it was then his mind or what left remained of it was finally shattered permanently as the urge to feed as a Vyreadra began to take hold, so much so, he was temporary able to overtake the unprepared and surprised Nameless One and managed to flee from him for a time. With his mind all but destroyed beyond all repair and the never ending urge to feed driving him forward, Goliath wrecked havoc against the populace of the Thrymir Empire, killing and destroying all those in his way however the few that managed to hold their own, albeit only for a short period of time against such a beast, were defeated and fed on rather than devouring their bodies, thus beginning the Vorgolask Bloodline when these chosen selected later turned into feral Vyreadra monstrosities. When the Nameless One finally located Goliath yet again, he effortlessly defeated him and dragged him back to Aklator, there he used his magic to freeze him into a magicalized crystal as a decoration within his throne room where he remains today.

As a result, Aenarion rarely deals with the mortals of the mortal realm, choosing to focus on their own affairs than the blights of others even If it aiding a mortal would increase his power.
