Molak, Father of Magic

Molak, Father of Magic and Brother of Erynols; one half of the terrifyingly ancient Siblings, those who sat behind Vermithrax in the darkness of his long cast might, and held him at ease that he would one day reclaim his garden. Loyal children tot heir father that they were, they wasted no time in orchestrating plans, for Molak's part he devised to create what we now know as the fundamentals of magic. He accomplished this by twisting the powers of the Void and making them bend to him, before disseminating the knowledge into Terros by way of dreams and whispers-despite Aradia's best attempts to stop him. Before Molak there were only two forms of what could be arguable considered magic, the sorcery based terramancy, and the belief based animancy. Both were insufficient for any kind of mass usage, the kinds which would gradually weaken the bonds that kept the demons out. So Molak kept at his work, inspiring scholars and newfound mages and helping them to shape their magics, all the while feeding and tempting them to follow the ways of magic into the loving embrace of the Siblings.
Many would fall tot he temptation, finding weak points in the barrier by which to pass themselves through, and willingly stay as a new scholar in the fast growing company of other Shadow Dancers, cloaked in faux wyvern scales and protected form the ravages of the Void for the most part, they accelerated Molak's ambitions. Even the study of magic would fuel Molak's progress, no matter if you did it from drawing on the Void or not, all magic fed somewhat into Molak. As time went on and the defenses weakened, he also began making pacts with mortals in exchange for power, invariably reaping the benefits always, until the rise of the Empire of Dusk and Vermithrax's order to not over extend, as he has laid his own seeds that need to bear fruit and Molak has done more than enough in conjunction with his sister to make it all possible.
In the intervening period, the Shadow Dancers would continue to grow in power, under the leadership of Molak and Erynols, and it would be mostly hands off as they consolidated and built up forces for Vemrithrax. Molak created facsimiles to terrosian monsters to grow into vast swaths of armies for Vermithrax. Mimics of ogres, goblins, trolls, suits of living armor, horses, birds, bats, snakes, on and on he grew more forces for Vermithrax's eventual invasion when the time would be right at some point in the future.
