Xolkaan

The Dark Lord Xolkaan resides in the Abyss due to his misspoken spell.. After his failed attempt to create a servant from shadow smoke, he fell from the realm of light into the Void, a endless and dark thing that soon consumed him. Leaving his bodily form behind, he gained the power of the VOID, and the ability to grant dark abilities to his followers. Ordinary berserkers from the icy tundra of the north gained the power to transfer life from one being to another, while the Hunters of Gloomfeld turned against the Way of Light and received the blessing of invisibility. The Void eventually sent the Kings Court into turmoil when the VOID clan rose to power. Although the Lord of the Abyss himself is powerful, he needs Acolytes to convert his raw Divine power into matter. Reaching from the Void, he longs to see the downfall of the Ancients and the Gods of Light, and will use any means to see their end.
