Little is known about Lhordach the Endless, other than he wished above all other things, that his legacy be forgotten. Father to Kaal and Miron, Lhordach was the king of all gods, in the Universe that Was. Events precipitated, involving the rebellion of the terrifying Helid, that forced the King of Gods to bid his sons take his mantle, so he and the Helid that fed on his divine power would all simply fade from memory. A plan, for millions of years untold, succeeded, until the discovery of a talisman dedicated to the King of Gods was discovered by occultist, Aeden Dredson.
The Helid, the creations of Lhordach, meant to police a forgotten people that died with the Universe that Was, rebelled against their Creator, feeling they could do a job better than he. Knowing that so long as he had power they could never be completed destroyed, even with the destruction of the Universe that Was, it was Lhordach's will to his sons that the new mortal races never learn his name. In doing this, the King of Gods would fade from existence and with them the Helid, that despite all hope, survived the destruction of the Old Universe.
But throughout time, mortals found hints of Lhordach's legacy. Cults sprang up from time to time, praying to the Nameless God, the King of Gods, the Overgod. All these names were Lhordach's and all these prayers fed him just enough power to continue existing. Just enough to feed the Helid, who like leeches, siphoned the weakened god's strength, eventually reducing him to an immortal husk from which the few that remain draw power. It is a trap for the King of Gods that so long his legacy is found, his name spoken and prayers are given to him, the Helid will continue to feed, and grow stronger.
When Lhordach was strong, he was said to be a terror on the battlefield, wielding both weapon and spell with frightening efficiency. His primary weapon is the morningstar, H'Qir. The weapon is said to be a shaft of alien stone, crowned with the last remaining star of the Universe that Was. He also rode into battle the P'Sunla, the Skyfire, the most powerful of the Sky Serpents. The ancient creature is thought to guard his comatose form even now, countless eons later with such ferocity that even the Helid cannot claim him from what remains of his domain in the Astral Plane.
