Born to Lanz and Sheila Mightuss in Dagger Sheath Valley in a remote vampire coven, Z'evnar was raised by his father to be a benevolent Lord to his people. His mother's death during an attack on his coven by Dawnwall's soldiers when he was a child warped his perspective of both humans and the world around him.

Later in life, he would found the city of Duskwall, and even later than that, he would found the Hymsgardian Empire, a global hyperpower that would eventually encompass almost all of Fell.

## Description

### Appearance

Z'evnar is a human vampire with royal purple eyes. He has flowing dark brown hair that comes down to his ears, pale white skin and he stands at 5 feet and 11 inches tall. Due to his vampirism, he stopped aging when he reached 21, and will forever remain biologically 21.

During his pilgrimage to Athara with Raven, he met the main smith of Athara - a dwarf werewolf named Alithia - where he forged and tailored his signature white coat. The coat is primarily white, styled like a trench coat with light blue embroidery around the collar and and cuffs. The coat has a steel shoulder plate on the left shoulder, and mithril chain hidden between the fabric of the rest of the coat. The coat is also enchanted to boost his magical abilities, possessing the same features of a Robe of Archmagi.

Around his waist, he wears a purple sash, and he often wears simple leather pants and steel sabatons. During battle, he wears a steel chestplate underneath his coat instead of a plain cloth shirt.

In his demonic form, Z'evnar has lavender skin, black leathery wings on his back, dark grey ram horns and a golden crown that seems to be a part of his skull.

### Personality

Z'evnar is a very paranoid individual, but he masks it from those around him, forever playing a game with everyone he meets of "I know you're here to kill me but do you know I know?". He has a superiority complex when it comes to leading people, taught to him by Richard. He believes he is the only one capable of leading his people, and that anybody else would break under the pressure.

Beneath his façade of calmness and knowing what to do, he is often internally panicking and analysing his surroundings, trying to predict the actions of those around him in a constant attempt to control everything and everyone around him.

Despite this, he can be a very affectionate and caring person, keeping his friends and family close to him and devoting all the time he can to those he cares about.

## Biography

### Early Childhood

Z'evnar Mightuss was born on the 10th of Sun's Peak, in the 496th year of the Second Era (10/2/496 2E) to Lanz and Sheila Mightuss. His conception and birth were meticulously planned to ensure he would be born on a blood moon, to ensure that he would be the strongest Mightuss to ever live, topping even his grandfather Trean's triumphs. Sure enough, he was born under a blood moon and his naming ceremony was held the following day. The oracle tattooed a triquetra onto the back of his left hand to signify that he would be long lived, much like the serpent eating its own tail that was tattooed around Lanz's left eye.

Z'evnar was clearly gifted in both arcane and martial arts, casting cantrip level spells by four years old and first level spells by 5. Loved by many in the coven, most saw him as a symbol of hope and were convinced he would lead them to greatness.

At the age of 5, he discovered the guards pointing their weapons at a werewolf pup. Ordering them to stand down, he approached and comforted her, and escorted her back out of the coven cave.

The next day, she returned and waited for him, greeting him when he came out of the cave to go for a walk. Travelling together, the two of them discovered ancient ruins in the wilderness of the Old Kingdom. Spikes of an unnatural energy echoed from the site until an armoured figure appeared before them. He seemed to know their names - revealing the pup to be called Raven - despite never meeting either of them before, and promised they were going to achieve greatness together before jumping from a nearby cliff. He seemed to survive the fall and walked off into the forest.

When he was 7, Lanz brought Z'evnar to the dog pen, and let him pick out a puppy to have as his own. Z'evnar took a liking to a Malinois with large ears that hindered his eyesight. He named the puppy Floppy and doted over him.

By 9 years old, Lanz decided to take Z'evnar to visit Wedgewood Monastery. They spoke with various priests who welcomed them both, despite knowing they were vampires. Exploring the monastery, Z'evnar discovered a sword in a dusty corner, and brought it to the pastor of the monastery. He marvelled, revealing that it was the lost sword of Dawnwall. He insisted Z'evnar keep the sword as he had found it. He then explained that the sword had a mind of its own and would simply disappear and reappear to ensure it is wielded by worthy warriors.

Noticing smoke on the horizon as they left the monastery, they flew back to the coven cave as fast as possible, but they were too late. Dawnwall's soldiers had attacked the coven and killed many of the coven's members. Among the dead was Sheila Mightuss

### Teenage Life

Following his mother's death, Lanz fell into alcoholism and locked himself away in his room. As a result, his advisor Richard Mighten took the role of raising and guiding Z'evnar. He was harsh, often threatening to harm or kill Floppy if Z'evnar did not do as he was told.

When he was 18, he was assigned a personal broodmother named Lily, who was picked as his best match by Richard to give him a strong heir. When she miscarried three times in a row, Richard pressured Z'evnar to banish her which he eventually did with a heavy heart.

At the age of 19, Z'evnar prepared an attack on Riverhaven. Upon hearing of this, Lanz came out of his doldrum state to fight beside his son. Leading his troops to battle on the small fishing and lumber town, Lanz gifted his trusty sword Valagar - a vorpal sword he crafted at the age of 13 with the aid of the Royal Blacksmith, Maxwell - as the Sword of Dawnwall refused to allow Z'evnar to wield it. Fighting his way to the manor, they were met with Lord Robert Blackwood, a powerful warrior and mage. Z'evnar was defeated within seconds, however Lanz was much more formidable and stronger, winning the fight and accepting Robert's surrender. Once Z'evnar had recovered enough to stand, he brought Robert to the balcony of the manor and ran him through in front of his people before throwing him down from the balcony.

Delyth Blackwood - Robert's grand daughter - witnessed this and immediately attacked Z'evnar. Being only 5 years old, she didn't pose much of a threat to Z'evnar, but she was as gifted as he was, if not more so with magic.

Z'evnar took Darria Blackwood as his concubine, returning to the coven with her. Delyth was transported a day later to the coven cave. Z'evnar turned both Darria and Delyth into vampires personally once they were settled, before allowing them to return to Riverhaven to care for their people. Despite the brutality he had inflicted on her people and grandfather, Z'evnar showed an odd kindness to Delyth, seeming to care for her in some capacity and taking on the role of her father as best he could.

### Duskwall's Beginnings

Z'evnar's conquest of the valley wasn't complete with Riverhaven. He had shared that he planned to build up forces to march on Dawnwall and personally execute King Edran III. Richard informed Z'evnar of a wealth of pearlescent steel underneath a werewolf village by the eastern cliffs of Dagger Sheath Valley. Taking his hint, he began mobilising troops to attack this village.

During the attack, Z'evnar killed Alpha Ozai of the Shadow-Moon clan, suffering heavy injuries himself. When Raven attacked him, he only survived thanks to catching her off guard and knocking her out with an overcast spell, although he suffered mild magical burnout as a result and fell unconscious. An unspecified amount of time later he was shaken awake and pulled to his feet by Halik Kalaha - an Jngvildian vampire who was a part of his advisory council and had come to revel in the glory of battle. Gaining a second wind, Z'evnar managed to pull through and led his troops to victory.

Upon the werewolves surrender, he returned to the coven cave to seek medical attention. Raven Shadow-Moon was assigned to be his concubine by Richard as she was the best match for him to produce the strongest and most viable children.

When she learned Richard planned to have any werewolf pups she gave birth to killed, Raven pled with Z'evnar to let her run away so their children would be safe. He allowed her to run when he learned of what Richard planned for their children.

Upon learning of her escape, Richard demanded Z'evnar track her down, convincing him the coven would view him as too weak to control her. Reluctantly he left and attempted to track her down.

As he was catching up to Raven, Z'evnar discovered a human man named Gordon 'Hawk' Roots who was hunting Raven as a task to be permitted into the ranks of Dawnwall's Royal Guards. The two fought, coming to a stalemate and deciding to talk it out when they realised they were evenly matched. Upon Z'evnar explaining their situation and revealing that neither werewolves nor vampires were mindless monsters, Hawk decided to defect, and help Z'evnar deal with Richard when they returned to the coven cave.

Upon finding Raven, she convinced Z'evnar to travel with her to Athara and leave her pups there when they were born before they'd return home. He agreed and they travelled north.

As they travelled through the Terror Mountains, they met a distraught woman named Eve, fleeing from several men. Hawk and Z'evnar immediately leapt to her defence and killed them. She explained she was of the now destroyed Tithus Vampire Coven, and the men chasing her were from the Snowstag clan in Snowstag fort.

During the night, Hawk left the camp and travelled to Snowstag Fort, singlehandedly defeating many of the barbarians within before demanding a duel with their leader, Slasher. Winning the duel and killing Slasher, causing the clan to disband and travel elsewhere.

Continuing their journey with Eve travelling with them, they reached the Jungle of Decay. About a week of travel into the Jungle, Raven and Hawk - who had recently been turned into a werewolf - went missing. Z'evnar and Eve discovered them being prepared for a ritual sacrifice. Immediately Z'evnar flew into a rage and began killing the villagers indiscriminately, the only survivor being their shaman.

Z'evnar attempted to treat Raven and Hawk's wounds but couldn't. As he began to give up hope, Death appeared before him. He offered him the title of Mythree, to be his hand in the world, and in return Raven and Hawk would be given 2 more weeks before they'd succumb to their wounds if they weren't treated. Reluctantly, Z'evnar accepted, and they continued their journey.

Arriving at Athara, Aveena's Holy Land, Raven and Hawk were given to the Atharan's care as they were in a comatose state, while Z'evnar and Eve were made to wait outside of the gates. Eventually they were both allowed into the city, and they were brought to see Alpha Angel, the first werewolf to exist on Fell. She spoke with them, and assured them their friends would survive under her care.

During their time in Athara, Z'evnar met a dwarf called Alithia who ran the forge in Athara. She taught him how to smith, admiring the craftmanship of Valagar and wanting Z'evnar to carry on his father's legacy by making his own masterwork item. Z'evnar made the coat that would become his signature attire for the rest of his life, a white coat made from Atharian Elk leather, and threaded with mithril chainmail and enchanted to boost his magical abilities. He also fought in the Bloodbowl, an arena in Athara where many warriors come to test their mettle, winning favour with the people of Athara with his performance.

Raven and Hawk recovered from their injuries, however Hawk had suffered silver poisoning that would cause him to age. Thankfully it was only at the rate of a normal human so he had plenty of time left, but it was a devastating blow to his friends who would have to watch him wither and die.

Angel gave Z'evnar a warning before he left. She showed him a vision that the path he was currently walking would only lead to ruin. Heeding her words, he contemplated them as they prepared a teleportation circle back to Dagger Sheath Valley.

Upon arrival to the coven cave, Richard ordered for Raven, Hawk and Eve to be taken as slaves. Vetoing his orders, Z'evnar had a moment of clarity and instructed the guards to shackle Richard and prepare him for execution. Z'evnar executed Richard later that day using Valagar. Immediately, Z'evnar ordered the werewolf and human slaves be freed.

From that point, Z'evnar attempted to undo as much of the damage he could, although some things couldn't be undone. Over the next few years, the town of Duskwall became a city, becoming a bastion of hope and equality for all within Gavafell.

### Key Events of Duskwall

Z'evnar met a young boy named Malaphus. He was a strange creature with four arms that was capable of great magical potential. He met the boy when he was breaking into the food storehouses and stealing chicken meat. Managing to catch him, Z'evnar explained that he didn't need to break into the food stores, he just had to go to the food halls to get food. Since then, Malaphus grew closer with Z'evnar, considering him a father figure as he grew into adulthood.

### The Battle of Duskwall

On the 6th of Sun's Rise on the 540th year of the 2nd Era, Geth cultists enacted a coup, killing Z'evnar and Raven. Z'evnar had used a Clone spell to ward off death, expecting an assassination attempt on his life. Raven refused as it would be against her religious beliefs. Z'evnar was cut in half at the abdomen, dying in Raven's arms as she succumbed to being run through by a spear.

### Hymsgar

Awakening in his new body, Z'evnar climbed out of the urn his body was contained in and gathered basic supplies as best he could. Too weak to even stand and throwing up black bile on a regular basis, he gathered his strength for a whole season before he was able to fly to Hymsgar. Arriving in the long abandoned ruins of Hymsgar, he began exploring and saw a vision of his grandfather Trean Mightuss. Trean welcomed him home, and showed him a vision of what Hymsgar once looked like at the peak of Trean's rule. Urging Z'evnar to bring back Hymsgar's glory days, Trean walked with him up the palace stairs before disappearing.

After a few weeks in Hymsgar, Z'evnar gathered the strength to explore, polymorphing himself into a bird to fly up to the peak of Thunder Peak, where a perpetual thunderstorm hangs. He discovered a large amethyst amongst a pile of rocks and returned to Fuil Shore. The next morning, Z'evnar awoke to a freshly hatched dragon wyrmling cuddled up to him, still covered in embryonic fluid, and the amethyst broken open. He named the dragon Helania and did his best to care for her.

A year passed by as he gathered his strength in Fuil Shore, and one day a ship pulled into the ruined docks. He recognised Death's Angel, a pirate ship that often made port in Duskwall to trade. Many people unloaded from the ship, many of whom he recognised. Revealing himself to them, he was met with awe, confusion, shock and relief. Everyone gathered in the town square and awaited his guidance. He began making a plan of action; to build up basic infrastructure. Broodmothers were needed and volunteers would be invaluable. Harrow would need to ferry people and resources to Hymsgar to keep the colony alive, and once a stable home town was set up an expedition team would be assembled to investigate other parts of the island.

One woman came to Z'evnar once everyone had gone to get supplies or find a building to claim as their home. A fuil elf named Eleanor Farith. She was the first volunteer to become a broodmother. Their relationship blossomed from more than just a base sexual relationship and into a romantic relationship, despite Z'evnar's uneasiness of finding love so soon after Raven.

Soon after the arrival of his people, Z'evnar was officially coronated King of Hymsgar, and hope kindled in both his own and his people's hearts.
