Mydaros

"All that shines is mine!" - Mydaros
Mydaros, sometimes called Mydaros the Golden, or the Lord of Mountains, was an Elemental Lord of Earth. Mydaros was the primary antagonist of "The Stone Shield's Last Stand", a Whyteholder legend featuring Sir Bertram Kaddenstein, one of the Whytehold Guardians. The famous knight was slain by the Elemental Lord in this tale.
Mydaros was an antagonist in the Grand Academy campaign, where he was slain by the combined efforts of Gideon Calwin, Aiden Bramwen, Nikolai Wolfhelm, Sung-Li Hyashi, Alastar Reinvich, Esther Reinvich, Casper Kaddenstein and the ghost of Sir Bertram Kaddenstein.
=== Description ===
Mydaros was a sixteen-foot tall earth elemental, with large proportioned arms, and fists the size of a man. His small head held two eyes that shone with a magma glow. Though made primarily from stone, Mydaros loved to adorn himself with shiny things, especially man-made treasures such as shining armour and golden coins. When the adventurers of the Grand Academy faced him, he had made a crown from the enchanted swords of the metallurgists he had slain, with a peculiar crystal inset into it.
=== Personality ===
Mydaros was a vain, arrogant Elemental Lord, who possessed a love of precious metals and shiny things. Despite hating humans, he seemed to love the things they made, and kept a vast horde of man-made treasures. Of all the treasures, the ones he coveted most were Gold. Mydaros was intensely protective of White Iron, because of its property of being able to harm elementals.
Mydaros despised the Dragonlords, particularly Shoguvhan.
It took a lot to drive Mydaros to act. Only many years after the residents of Stelenburg had been using White Iron did he deign to intervene, and after that he stayed for a thousand years.
=== Powers ===
Mydaros was cumbersome and slow, but his swings held a great strength behind them, enough to kill an ordinary man in a single hit. Additionally, he was able to enhance his attacks with the heat of magma, or plate them in enchanted armour for magical attacks.
While within the Elemental Realm of Earth, Mydaros was unkillable, as he was fuelled by the power of the realm itself. Outside of it, he managed to retain this link by opening portals and activating totems that his servants had constructed. This allowed him to heal while the totems were active.
Additionally, Mydaros possessed great magical powers of earth, though these weren't seen much.
