Eberil

Supreme Commander of Däegarden

**Eberil** was a male Dwarf, best known for being Zetopa's highest ranking lieutenant during the Immortal War. He was born in Nodal City, Nodal, into a wealthy Prophetist family descended from Dwarven landowners that had maintained their wealth after leaving Norte-Muldox. He was raised in a highly conservative, ethnocentric household, and was sent to military school at a young age, following a similar path to his friend and colleague, Zetopa. In the military, he became a skilled tactician and fighter.

Eberil later entered a career in politics, becoming well-known across Nodal as a talented orator and lawmaker. By the time he was 50, Eberil came to the realization that he was immortal, and believed in his own innate supremacy. He later became prominent as the leader of a group of conservatives whose goal was forming a Prophetist-supremacist state; he ran for King on this platform in 2660, but ultimately lost the election. However, he had the support of the military, and used it to stage a coup d'etat that later resulted in a civil war in the country. Thanks to the late-term intervention of Tulkon Rakte, Eberil's opposition was defeated after countless deaths and widespread destruction. While many of his allies landed in prison, Eberil was able to use his high connections to the government and the military to avoid any imprisonment, and in 2680, successfully ran for the position of King. He instituted the State Church doctrine, during which the Prophetist religion's beliefs reflected the agendas of Eberil's government. Tulkon Rakte's inaction for much of the Civil War shook Prophetist faith in the Tulkon and allowed them to accept the State Church doctrine much easier.

Around 2800, Zetopa recruited Eberil as part of his plan to form the Immortal Empire, and became Zetopa's right-hand man. In 2880, as part of the bicentennial celebration of Eberil's reign as King, Eberil revealed to the Nodal public that they would become a member state of the Empire of Orcanth, and that his official position would be Governor of the Captaincy General of Nodal. The announcement resulted in mixed reactions throughout the country, but under threat of violence, Imperial rule was accepted. However, a number of Nodal did flee the country, including an infant Tulkon Von Hamobora and her family.

In 2896, the Empire of Orcanth was reorganized into the Immortal Empire, beginning the Immortal War. During the War, Eberil relocated to Nen Ren in secret to help remotely command the Immortal armies. Eberil became the Supreme Commander of the Däegic Forces, which, under his guidance, brought the Keghotogh and Kepet Republics under Immortal Empire rule. Eberil's army also assisted in the Ynoforan Genocide. In early 2905 AT, Eberil planned the surprise attacks on the Free Alliance nations, apparently bringing an end to the war and placing all lands under Immortal Empire rule. Not long afterwards, Eberil made plans to usurp the Immortal Empire's throne from Zetopa. However, Von Hamobora (at this point, unaware of her true identity) began a secret mission to track down the Immortal Rulers and kill the Emperor. Zetopa, seizing the opportunity to rid himself of Eberil, sent him to stop her in her tracks. Eberil found her near Lake Baikhal, and met his death at her hands.

Eberil, in contrast to his colleague Zetopa, is believed to have been truly evil. His ethnocentric policies became a great source of shame for the Nodal people, and he is often viewed as one of its worst, most hateful monarchs.
