Dalguul

## Early Life

Dalguul, also known as the 32nd Avatar, was born millions of years before the Cataclysm of Zara. Very little is known about his early life but in the sacred text of Sargoth he grew up with Narheldash (Sargoths old former name). And was good friends with Sargoth, seeing both were born to wealthy families who administered the same district.

However during the Cataclysm he was killed believably in his late thirties. During the Chaos Sargoth preserved his body and when Sargoths power rose to its height, he began to rally and raise the dead. During this muster of the Dark Forces, Sargoth used a large portion of his powers to create the Avatars. Avatars unlike the normal undead creatures, are far more intelligent and can act independently from their original creator. They retain memories of their old lives, and possess far more immense powers than any mortal being, albeit even with these powers they are still branded as slaves to Sargoth.

## Service in Sargoths Horde

The 32nd Avatar to be risen was Siriyeck \*Dalguuls original name\*. Unlike the other Avatars, Dalguul was one of Sargoths longest friends and allies, and thus was given far more independence than the Other Avatars, even being given free will. Dalguul was able to rise quickly through the ranks and began a near 5,000 year preparation for the invasion of Nara. During this time Sargoth continued to absorb the souls of all who died in Orbis while Daguul spent his time experimenting with the Technology of the Old Empire of Zara and Magic alike.

Dalguul after nearly 5,000 years of preparation had created his own type of undead infantry called "The Savagemen" using an foreign magic he was able to harness from deep underneath the crust of Nara. This power interested him and spoke to him heavily in his writings. Unlike his other kin who directly answered Sargoth, Dalguul began to seek out another. One who could maybe rival the power of Both Sargoth and Titus alike . After years of talking with this foreign entity, in addition to many exchanges of visions and knowledge he learned the beings name. The beings name was "Durin'' the lord of the Underworld and the Eternal Black Wraith. This continued exchange of visions and knowledge, led Dalguul to become one of the most intelligent Avatars ever created, allowing him to learn from both Durin and Sargoth. Dalguul continued to hone his powers until the time had come in the year of 4,942 B.T when the first portals began to power up with all of the souls collected by Sargoth over thousands of years. The white illumination centered directly in the first portal to Nara began to show a blinding light with a transparent side of green grass and rolling black mountains. The First Apocalypse had begun and with it Dalguuls entrance into Nara.

## Dalguuls Campaigns Into Orbis, and Betrayal of Sargoth

Nearly 100 portals opened all across Nara. Dalguul personally requested that his be opened in Southern Orbis, being one of Sargoths most trusted advisers and ally Sargoth accepted. Dalguul stepped into Orbis with an army of nearly 400,000 hellish creatures from Zara, including undead skeletons, zombies, and the twisted mutants that he created. He started his brutal campaign with raiding nearby farms and villages experimenting on the captives and farm animals alike. However Sargoth had soon learned about Dalguuls secret master, enraged by this Sargoth began reclaiming all the souls in the Undead Army under Dalguuls command, and over a series of months Dalguuls Armies began to slowly wither away. With his army getting smaller by the day Dalguul used what remaining power he had to sever is connection with Sargoth. Once the reclamation of the Souls of Dalguuls armies had been completed, all that remained was the twisted abominations and mutants that Dalguul had constructed using his own dark powers.

## The Fall of Dalguul

Dalguuls raids became too much of a nuisance to the Local Hoplataki and his new increasing army of mutants began to worry the Kings of the Hoplotaki Realm. In an attempt to consolidate his power after King Duseloius died, his son Prince Ledious (soon to be King Ledious), amassed a large army of Taan Hoplites, Levies, and Slaves to fight alongside him. Ledious hoped that defeating a powerful threat like Dalguul would show he was just as powerful as his father and possessed the gul to take the throne.

## Dalguul's Final Battle and Death

In 4,923 B.T Ledious would receive word that the Vassal state of Tyla was under siege by the Dark Lord Dalguul. Dalguul had plans of using Tyla as a capital for a new Empire of Darkness he was planning to create with his new powers. Dalguul had an army of roughly 17,000 men all being infantry. Ledious had an army of 23,000 with 2,500 being cavalry,3,000 being archers,5,000 being heavy sword infantry,and the 12,500 being spear men. Battle started late at night with Ledious sneaking behind Dalguuls encampment of scouts and moving through the thick tree line. Dalguul had established an undefended siege camp without and form of defense other than a small moat. Ledious took advantage of this by sending his cavalry in during the middle of the night to Draw out Dalguul. Dalguul not being able to organize his army during the chaos ordered that they find the attackers in hopes of finding their camp. However it was a trap as the moment small bands of Savagemen ran out of the camp they were pelted with arrows. Meanwhile Ledious ordered his men and anyone from the garrison to put as much tar around the camp as possible. They lit the tar a blaze with only two entrances left in the camp. Dalguul by this time had thrust himself into an uncontrollable rage due to the situation and took no effort to command his men. Taking advantage of Darguuls incompetence to the situation Ledious ordered that one entrance be blocked by spear men and the other with cavalry. He then ordered the cavalry to do a sweep through the camp divining the remaining Savagemen into the fire and tar or into the battle lines of spear men. Darguul was the last to remain out of his entire army that had been slaughtered Ledious stepped forward and before Dalguul could speak threw a spear and impaling him straight in the head. Ending his life right then and there with a catastrophic military defeat. The Taan lost only 3,423 Men and Dalguul lost his entire army with only a handful escaping (it's expected that only twenty three Savagmen escaped). However in Dalguuls quarters the black book that he was always described to have in his hands was gone...The same book that held the knowledge of Nara's and Zara's darkest magic..
