## Introduction

Lord Vor is the Sorcerer Tyrant of Rum Shai and the Fleshcrafter superior. He is regarded master of the Path of Flesh and the master of Amirai.

## History

Vor was born as Xar Lanesh in the city of Vaashan. He grew up as the son of a wealthy noble in the black city, raised within immeasurable luxury and pleasentries. Unlike many Xaarians he cared little for political games and intrigues. He developed a stubborn form of pride, refusing to do anything else then enjoying the spoils his birth granted him. Considering the fact that he was a Xar and one of the highest birth, he would have had chances to become the next Visir of Xaarat. Yet he refused to take any title that wasnt given to him for his blood rather then his power or competence. Although he possessed potent magical abilities he refused to use or study them. All Lanesh cared for where the pleasures his mortal body could give him. With delicacies from countless worlds and without sacrifical magic to compell his growth Lanesh became one of the most morbidly obese Xaarians to have every lived. He indulged in exotic and costly drugs, concubines and delis. No matter what overprized or rare luxury was offered, Lanesh deemed it unworthy of his greatness.

After countless decades of these decadent and depraved delights he had experienced so many pleasures that no mortal means could gratify him. One day, a Fleshcrafter and servant of Ediacara creeped into his chambers to offer something beyond these tiring joys. The adicitive and mindshatteringly pleasuring magic that was worked upon Lanesh made him a willing subject of the Fleshcrafter. He was invited to Rum Shai to enjoy countless lifetimes of these enjoyments. They planned to use him as a mere offering of royal blood to their Valakai masters. After arriving in Rum Shai he was carried into a ritual pit where he was tortured and multilated as a terrible sacrifice to summon a Valakai of great power. The being saw Laneshs dying body and decided he was a far better host then the surrounding flesh. Instead of incorporating him and the others into a new body, the creature possessed Lanesh and regenerated his body. For the first time Lanesh stood up, something his overgrown appereance had previously forbidden.

The creature was cast off the name of Xar Lanesh and gave itself a new name in the Pratonian tongue, Lord Vor. It was a spawn of (...) and a being of sadistical and powerhungry nature that surpassed that of all other Valakai that walk Rum Shai. Laneshs soul was kept inside his body to harvest his unused magical potential aswell as a source of amusement of the torment it had to endure.

With his new host Lord Vor became powerful enough to claim the title of Sorcerer Tyrant and his royal blood allowed him to claim this position that was forbidden for regular spawns of the Eather.

## Wargear

* **Palaquin of Dominance-** Although much better methods of transport are available to Lord Vor, even the ability to walk, he prevers to keep his Xaarian appereance and weight. He is carried on a golden palaquine moved by a set of handpicked slaves particularly weak and subjugatable to pain. They struggle to lift the heavy weight of the massive golden throne. They do not even move on their own will but through animating their flesh with sorcery, a process that is painful beyond measure.
* **Tormentor Mask-** Mounted atop his palaquin is an ivory mask. Bound to it are the most dangerous of spirits of Rum Shai which feasted upon the suffering of Shaavani and slaves for centuries. Although Lord Vor is not capable of spiritmagic, the mask still obeys his will and unleashed vile spirits upon nearby attackers, should he wish to. Far more usefull is the ability of these spirits to form a shield that absorbs magical energies and blocks physical impact.
