Koroth Na

Koroth Na's strange appearance belied an incredibly shrewd and talented mind.

## **Background**

Koroth Na was an **Elf** warlock, King of **Haven** and believed to be an incarnation of 'the Spoop,' a **Kobold** deity of evil.

Exiled from Haven at the time of **the Great Sleep**, Koroth Na did not lose his memories as the other elves did. He eventually returned to the city and became its King.

He played a role in several important events on **the continent**, and was eventually responsible for the end of the world.

## **History**

Koroth Na was originally known as Koroth. He was
born in Haven millennia ago. Fascinated by the spiritual and magical,
he trained to become a druid. However, Koroth misunderstood the
relationship between the elves and the **tree spirits**. He saw the
religious veneration of the tree spirits as an exchange of power,
believing that he would be granted magic in return for praise and
gifts. When offers of material goods repeatedly failed to grant
Koroth favour with the tree spirits, he became embittered.

Turning to other sources of power, Koroth became
involved an occult circle and started down a path of dark sorcery.
His druidic magic of cultivating plant life was corrupted, and
sprouted instead twisted fungus. When Koroth and his occultist
colleagues were discovered, he was exiled from Haven and his name
amended to Koroth Na to reflect his disgrace.

Koroth Na spent countless years on the mainland,
honing his dark magic and cutting deals with foul powers. His foul
magic and unnaturally long lifespan would eventually twist his body
and mind.

When news of the death of Prince Weismyr reached
the mainland, Koroth Na returned to his ancient homeland, believing
that his exile would no longer be enforced. He was displeased to
discover that Eridash Menelith, who was not only Weismyr's relative
but a high elf (a group Koroth Na had come to despise), now reigned
as king.

When the first goblin siege of Haven took place,
Koroth Na fought to defend the city. In the chaos, he was able to
abduct Eridash Menelith, as the young king was in a comatose,
meditative state. Koroth Na kept the unconscious elf in caverns
beneath his fungal outpost, as a source of royal blood, a potent
magical ingredient.

When the Bad Moon appeared, it told Koroth Na of
the **Obliterata**. The power hungry warlock immediately came to desire
the pages, believing that their embodiment of reality would be able
to elevate him to godhood. With the help of a faceless alchemist,
Koroth Na was able to join the Southbridge Legion on the **second Hellmarch**, and claimed the Page of Space from Hell dwelling cultists.

Koroth Na joined a dwarven expedition to the
abandoned fortress of Noruzim Thakom. With the help of a kobold named
Grub, Koroth Na was able to cut a deal with the **Darkshine Dragon**. In
return for Menelith and something precious to Grub, Koroth Na was
granted the Page of Death by the dragon. Shortly afterwards, Menelith
was killed in the catastrophic explosion caused by the dwarf Torgen.

With Menelith dead, the covenant between the elves
and tree spirits was severed and required a new royal bloodline to be
established. The new monarch would be the first to return to the tree
spirits with the Page of Life, hidden deep in a labyrinth. Competing
against his estranged sister **Arion the Walker** and the high elven
princeling Belegon, Koroth Na delved into the labyrinth and was able
to obtain the page, once again with the help of Grub. However, the
kobold had since become wary of Koroth Na, and his suspicions were
confirmed when Koroth Na attempted to flee the labyrinth with the
page and leave everyone else to their doom. Grub confronted Koroth
Na, forced him to return the Page of Death and to present the Page of
Life to the tree spirits alongside Arion, rendering the two twin King
and Queen of Haven.

Not long after becoming King, Koroth Na's wand was
destroyed. The wand was the crux of several magical pacts Koroth Na
had made, and without it he began to die. Desperate to stay alive,
Koroth Na murdered an elf, Kraothnaranven, in a demonic ritual, and
procured a new wand from his remains. Disgusted with her brother's
behaviour, Arion forced Koroth Na to imbibe the same amnesia inducing
concoction that the rest of the elves had taken before the Great
Sleep. Koroth Na was rendered docile for a time, and known once again
as Koroth.

As Koroth, he was unable to defend Haven when it
was invaded by the High Elf mercenary army, The Pulled Hook, and
forced once more into exile. However, Koroth regained his memories
and became Koroth Na once more. Alongside Arion, the two fought and
killed the leaders of The Pulled Hook and their co-conspirator,
Eddard Badwulf, but at the cost of Arion's life. Koroth Na retrieved
the Page of Life from her body and was left sole ruler of Haven.

Koroth Na eventually came to obtain the Page of
Time from the gathered wands of Valod Winterborn. He almost murdered
the Kobold Dig, but Grub took the young kobold's place, allowing
Koroth Na to retrieve the Page of Death from his corpse.

In his quest for the pages, Koroth Na became bound
to the shadowy deity, the Black Queen, and became involved in the
machinations of the Void.

Koroth Na eventually joined a gathered army for a
final attack on the Goblin fortress of Blackrock. After fighting
through the fortress, Koroth Na fought and killed King Zodd. Taking
the Page of Mind from his body, Koroth Na held the complete
Obliterata. With all those present, Koroth Na sang a song of a new
world, and heralded the end of the current one.

## **Death**

Koroth Na stood atop the towering chisel **Armok** used to shatter the world. As Armok swung his hammer down, Koroth Na went out screaming for the godhood he believed he had earnt.

## **Skills and Belongings**

Koroth Na was an accomplished sorcerer, though his magical power was derived almost entirely from deals and pacts forged with demons and dark spirits. As a result, Koroth Na's life was bound to a bone wand he wielded. His pacts also gave him an incredibly long lifespan, beyond even that of most Elves.

Koroth Na was able to use the pages of the Obliterata he came to obtain to various ends. He used the Page of Life and the Page of Death to destroy a goblin fleet threatening Haven, and used the Page of Time to freeze time in order to fight Zodd.

**Drinenrith** was a bone wand created from the ulna of the elf Kraothnarenvan. Koroth Na sacrificed the Elf to a demonic master following the destruction of his previous wand.

**Dreikar Tar** was a crown/helmet worn by Koroth Na during his later days as King of Haven. The crown was created from a black skull. It was topped with spikes of obsidian and adorned with the hearts of **Forgotten Beasts**.

**Kerigir** was Koroth Na's weapon of choice. It was a crude albeit deadly knife, created by shattering a dwarven adamant sword down to size and enchanting it. Its victims were many, and included the goblin king, Zodd.
