Dranok Ganmor

## The Infernal Emperor

The Demon King, the Sunless Sovereign, the Arch Devil. There are many names to which the vicious Dranok Ganmor has claimed.

Dranok is the second Demon King to have risen to the throne, the first having long disappeared from the Realms in the end of the Second Age.

Born of the Vokir people in the nomadic tribes of the Eserok Steppe from the Aslorn Realm, the second Demon King is a monolithic figure which no discussion of history, lore, politics, power, military, or sorcery can escape. His presence in the minds of all has become as eternal as his efforts to usurp the gods.

## Physical Appearance

Great and menacing even before he took the throne, a giant more than nine feet tall with shoulders thrice as wide to a human’s and chest twice as deep. A beard cut sharp like an axe beneath the chin which bursts out around the sides and hair cascading like a river over his shoulders, once a black sea quickly becoming flaked with steel as he reached his middle age, dark eyes pierced by cold blue with bushy brows that formed a tapered curl. His canines are like knives with the bottom ones more than twice what would be expected for a man even of his size. At time of the Fifth Age onward his presence among the Realms is as shattered as they were, shards of his soul are scattered among them and the Æther. In youth he was not much smaller, but he did not grow his full beard until his late 20's. Even from a young age a great many scars scratch his arms and legs, though faded beneath most notice. The worst of his injuries were taken in the Fallen War, many would be fatal to even most lesser demons, the worst and most obvious are those which fractured him, a giant crack carved down his neck and into his heart.

Largely he is silently resting and watching until his strength returns in full, but he still may awake at times to give command or speak with those that catch his interest and attention. The strength of Dranok's rule is obvious just knowing he had maintained the crown of demons while in such ruin.
