Duke Valefor

Duke Valefor, sometimes called Duke Valefore or Dutchess Valfar, is apparently the true identity of the entity known as St. Valefrain The Virgin of Bridgefurth.

## Connection to St. Valefrain

In the faith of the Church of St. Ageel Triumphant, Valefrain is seen as a maiden who sacrificed her youth, beauty and vaunted desirability, to wage war against the forces of evil. She is said to have tempted the hearts, and stolen the eye of many a man, to devote her life to the sword, and the Triumph of the Seal of the Great and One.

Late in the month of Cheln, 4750 DE, a group of adventurers in the land of Meindra, in the nation of Betare made discover of a injured being that said it was Valefor. The young scholar of Carthis, Din noted that among his people, the Tieflings of Carthis, that the being Valefor is a horrid being that could be identified as the same as the St. Valefrain of the Church of St. Ageel.

## The Stone of Valefor

The interactions of the holy warrior, Escanor as well as Sunny with Volney, Dusk and Kulder would find them in the Gren's Canyon, in eastern Betare, examining a gate stone that appeared to be near identical to the "Bleeding Stones," observed elsewhere.

On Valefor's Stone would read the following:

“*I am called by a hundred names.  I have a thousand titles.  I have been ten thousand, I shall be a hundred thousand more. I am Valtherios, Scion of Lucai, I am not Sent Forth, I am Older than Time, Yet I am Come Lately.  I have Seen the Tear in the Void and spoke with Hesh'bagh Heresh.  I am the knight and the spear of the Prince, I am the hero of my liege and his warrior maid.  The prince gave me his cup and I was his cupbearer.  I came to the Assembly with Egil at the Branheighe as the Baash'hol waged her wrath, and saw the foolishness of the Failed Scions and was undone.  I am Slave of The High Prince.  I am his sword.  I raised the banners as the mountains of the fell.  I fought the servants of the Neetghyng.  I am the Marquis of Saloot.  I am Chok Haruum and I scoffed at the assembly of Eph when Solar Johann’alam made accusation.  I broke the First Born, tore their warriors from the sky in the land of light.  I am Duke Valefor, and I saw the wretched flee when Baash’hol slew Hashmadahe’el, when Hesh'bagh Heresh fell and was made to be caged.  I am Lahwita, My Name is thus spoken.*"

## Valefor's Destruction

This script was read, both by Din, the scholar of Carthis, as well as Escanor, just prior to the beheading of the broken horror, that identified itself as Valefor.

Valefor or Valefrain would swell to a beastly size, nearly 30 foot in height as it died, before melting away to blacked ooze, as its name was read and it was slain by Escanor.

A troubling facet of his conversation with Atarak the Justicemaker, would be mention, by the celestial being, of the children of Valefor and the Lahwita. Escanor would at first decry this as vengefulness by the being, but would be unsettled by the mention of the boogeyman beings, the Baatezu with the Lahwita.

## The Green-Metal Orb

Upon her dissolution after defeat, only a strange, split-apart green, metal orb would remain. The two pieces would be parted, and carried separately by two members of Cyrano Trading Company. These orb halves would later be stolen, in central Tógg, by a horrid, draconic monster duo after the rescue of their companion Gal'undria.
