Laohr is a very powerful and dangerous elven god. The players found him in the center of a magically sealed cave bound in chains. His mortal mask is of a small, scared, blonde elven boy. He uses this to garner sympathy. His true mortal form is an older version of this boy, but with glowing eyes and smoke rising from a slowly decaying face. His divine form of life is a being of beautiful colors with imagery of water and flowers. His divine form of death is a blackened elf with orange-gold tattoos on his face and smoking hair. he is manipulative, sadistic, and downright evil. Laohr feels like since he made life, he should have the right to torture and "experiment" with it. He feels no remorse.

## Lore

Laohr was the born of Emsyn, the second to last god. He emerged as a white light from one of her eyes and a black light that emerged from the other that coalesced into him. With him, nothing came into the world. As her grew, he became curious. He played with his godly powers and eventually created life in the form of plants and animals. His family was very proud of him and he would go on to make humans in the image of his mother, elves in the image of himself, tieflings in the image of his uncle Ythos, and aasimar in the image of his uncle Queohr. He made dragons and phoenixes for his favorite relative, Ythos, as well as creating Krakens for his mother. Laohr was curious to the extent of his powers and began experimenting on his creations, the four races. Through this came death and decay. However, he spared the elves somewhat by giving them longer lives since they were formed in his own image. He also granted phoenixes the ability to come back after death for Ythos. His final experiment was creating the hydrae, a creature that regrew heads after being cut off, a cruel mockery of life forced to live in agony. Zakesis and Phana took notice of this and went to Aen and Ortos. All of the gods got together to confront Laohr who showed no signs of stopping. The gods felt sorry for the mortals and also feared that Laohr would find a way to bring death and decay to the gods as well. When their efforts did not get through to him, they all joined hands with Phana at the center who used her magic to take a piece of each gods divine essence and shaped them into chains. They tied Laohr up and cast him down into the depths of Arehfax. Laohr was alone, trapped, for all of mortal history and used that time to plan his revenge. Finally, he found a way to bring death to the gods, but first he needed four mortals: the players. The first four fate ordained foolish and strong enough to find Laohr were granted with the ability to slay gods. He then sent them to Deorum and forced the door locked behind them with vines. Once all the other gods were dead, he remade them in his vision and would claim his seat at the top of the pantheon. However, the players managed to kill him in one round.

## Powers

Laohr has the power to create life and also torture and destroy it. In the battle, he attached vines to the players and would cause them to rapidly decay, turning them skeletal. He can manipulate plants and communicate through them as well as animals.

## Trivia

* He wasn't supposed to die that quick.
* He is loosely inspired by a weird god family roleplay thing me and my 8th grade friends made. There was a rebellious teen who was life and death and would constantly switch between good and evil.
