Máelodor Ryllearnan, King of the Foxglove Court, was an ancient elven king who waged war with the Gol across Vasloria. He waged war against the invading Gol, so consumed by his fury towards humans that not even death nor the depths of the Abyssal Waste could stop him. From the Abyssal Waste, he served on the Court of Decay awaiting his vengeance.

History

War against the Gol

Long ago, when Vasloria was covered by forest primeval, Máelodor Ryllearnan ruled as King of the Foxglove Court. The land was populated only by elves, dwarves, and 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. This left Máelodor enraged by their defiance, who soon became obsessed with the Gol. He spoke incessantly about his never-ending war, and the Queen of the Foxglove Court urged him to seek a truce with the humans. He ignored her wisdom and the war raged on for years.

The Queen's departure

The Queen watched Máelodor's endless, obsessive war against the Gol, ignoring her wisdom and leading to the deaths of her people.
