Edon

Edon was once the ruler of Orlyn, until he was deposed in a coup only about two years ago. He was the leader of the pantheon of self-made “deities”, who used a form of sorcery drawn from dominion marked items to empower themselves.

## History

**Pre-Series**

Donovan was trained by Blake Hartigan. Donovan Tailor was a priest of Sytira. Donovan was expelled from the priesthood for heresy as he claimed that the priests should reach for godhood and how the Tae'os gods were once mortals. Donovan believed that his sorcery had been taken away by Sytira, who was punishing him for preaching that any mortal could ascend to godhood when it was a Vae'kes instead that stole his magic. Edon's Intuitive Comprehension spell gave him a message as his magic was stolen from him "Eru ravel lares taris." Edon and Morella intended to try to restore Edon's magic by reverse engineering the garbled words.

## Skills and Abilities

Edon's sorcery was stolen by a vae'kes and as such he could not rely on dominion sorcery. However, using the training he had from Blake Hartigan in the past, Edon created a version of magic named artifact sorcery. Edon's method of utilising artifacts involved using specific 'Eru' phrases to invoke the dominion marks on the artifacts in certain ways.

### Artifacts

Edon collected artifacts from a Xixian vault and would bind himself to them to draw power from them.

#### Heartlance

The Heartlance is famed for number of effects including: strengthening the wielder by cutting others and inflicting wounds that bleed indefinitely. The Heartlance inflicted wounds do not actually bleed forever but the Heartlance does grant a haste effect when tapped on the ground.

#### Hartigan's Star Prototype 17

Hartigan's Star prototype 17 is a ring created by Blake Hartigan and given to Edon when he was apprenticed to Hartigan. The ring has a gemstone that stores essence from the Dominion of Flame. A dominion mark pulls essence from the Dominion of Flame and the gemstone stores it. Hartigan is scared of his items being abused so he applies a dominion mark that means only those who have bonded to the ring can use it. The most important of the dominion marks is the one that allows the user to use essence from the ring rather than their body.

#### Rethri Batteries

Edon has developed a hypothetical use of the uvar, Rethri people with no functional dominion bond, as an essence battery that he can draw on. To achieve this, he has spent a long time learning how to make and break Rethri dominion bonds. He did this on the uvar, which lacked a functioning dominion bond, and he wanted to try and swap the dominions that the Rethri were bonded to.

Edon's plan was to link the uvar to a dominion and then to himself, which would give him two options. Firstly, he could give his strength to the uvar to restore them. Alternatively, he could keep the uvar in stasis and draw on them as a source of essence for the types that Edon chose. Edon would have linked 1 uvar to each dominion he wanted. The linked uvar would then have served as a self replenishing source of mana for Edon to draw from. Edon claimed that he would have only drawn on the uvar as batteries if he could not save them and would have used the power to produce enough dominion marked items to save the rest of the children.

### Eru Language

Edon used incantations with the word 'Eru' to invoke the powers of dominion marked items in different ways. This entire method of casting was based on the phrase he heard when his magic was stolen.

Eru volar shen taris - Creates blue-white flames from the Hartigan's Star prototype. When Lydia used this chant with the same ring it was enough to threaten the Vae'kes Sterling.

Eru volis mar sharu taris - Counter Sorcery on a huge scale.

Eru elan lav kor taris - Creates a shockwave.

Eru volar esu raval taris - Removed Lydia's invisibility and barrier.
