The land was populated only by elves, [[Dwarf|dwarves]], and [[Elder dragon|dragons]]. Humans, the ancient Gol, began to spread across the land, the fourth mortal race to appear on [[Orden]]. Their culture differed greatly from the other mortal races - they did not farm, build roads, or cut wood, and they worshipped many gods. | ||
Máelodor and the elves took offense to these new mortals, who had previously waged war against the other mortal races, and even each other. He refused to share his kingdom with the humans, but as they were experienced in war, the staunch elven king did not scare them.

The demon carved sorcerous tattoos into the skin of the Gol. They rode against the Solstice Dogs with Taamgul at the lead and cleaved the devilhounds from beneath the Solstice Dogs. Taamgul slew Máelodor, but his vow sustained his life beyond death. He fought on against Taamgul, who was forced to embrace the dead elven king and drag him to the depths of the Abyssal Waste.
