History Characters / Eador

* TimeMaster: You possess some control over time, allowing you to come back to the past if you made a mistake and want to redo things. Apparently, you were capable to move through time even more liberally before you lost your memory. Taken UpToEleven if you find out [[spoiler: that you're not just some regular time master, but Eador's God of Time himself.]]

* {{Seer}}: He had prophetic abilities, and foresaw his own death.

* {{Seer}}: She is a very gifted diviner, capable of directly perceiving threads of Fate. That said, she is still not omniscient nor does she always correctly interprets what she sees.

* TheLastStand: He is obsessed with the idea of having one decisive battle of Forces of Good against Forces of Evil. Everything he does contributes to this idea one way or the other.

* EvilVersusOblivion: As strange as it may sound, his anti-life crusade is his way of saving Eador from Chaos - by eradicating the living with their emotions, desires and whims he creates a more orderly world of the dead that is therefore more resistant to Chaos. And technically it's viable, as assisting him long enough will make his world strong enough to be untouchable by Chaos. This counts as a victory, [[PyrrhicVictory even if it's a pyrrhic one].

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Potentially. [[spoiler: If you align with either Beleth or l'Anshar and bring either to victory, as it will directly result in the Sun going out. See Raenu's entry as of why.]]

* EvilVersusOblivion: As strange as it may sound, his anti-life crusade is his way of saving Eador from Chaos - by eradicating the living with their emotions, desires and whims he creates a more orderly world of the dead that is therefore more resistant to Chaos. And technically it's viable, as assisting him long enough will make his world strong enough to be untouchable by Chaos. This counts as victory.

* OOCIsASeriousBusiness: He will become visibly angry if you tell him you want to get [[spoiler: a Key of Truth]] from the world of the dead - he doesn't really need it, but he views this as you attempting to steal from him.

* ColonelBadass[=/=]FourStarBadass: The start of his ascension to rulership was when he first led a successful uprising and then defeated his neghbours who took offence to that, and to pull that off he'd have to be the trope. By now he's even higher in the hierarchy.

* GoodIsNotDumb: Judging from Zarr's description, his rule was founded as much on him riding the wave of dethroning corrupt authorities as it is on making shrewd political decisions - he made his power base by aligning with the Church of Light who provided him with their support in exchange for his money.

* AlmightyIdiot: [[spoiler: To became the new Sun he gave away all other abilities of his, including the capacity for self-awareness and conscious thought.]]

* GodNeedsPrayersBadly: [[spoiler: And by creating humans as well as the religion of Light he assured he will never run out - [[NiceJobBreakingItHero unless you go with Beleth's ending, where Beleth eradicates all other religions forcing everyone to worship him, unwittingly depriving Raenu of his sustenance]].]]

* AndTheRest: Inverted - [[spoiler: out of his group of protector deities he's the only one who is given any sort of detailed description and characterization by Magnus, with the others just lumped together into "the other six". We don't even learn their names or who exactly they were.]]

* GreaterScopeParagon: [[spoiler: Before your amnesia you were one of the gods who managed to find the Truth that can save Eador]]. Whether you live up to that in the present day si entirely up to you.

* GodNeedsPrayersBadly: [[spoiler: And by creating humans as well as the religion of Light he assured he will never run out.]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler: The only one from his group of seven who managed to avert it by trying to find a better solution than simply battling Chaos in the open and perishing in glorious fight - since it taught Chaos that gods and immortals are its biggest deterrent, and thus to target them first.]]

!!Doricos

Once an old dragon, now an Astral Lord, Doricos creates a world in order to build a dragon society on it.

* OverlyLongName: Doricos is actually a very shortened form of his full name, as it's too long for mortals to remember. Even if you manage to remember it correctly according to him your pronunciation of it is terrible, so he tells you to stick to Doricos.

!!The Nameless One

* PowerOfTheVoid: One possible explanation as for what he is is that he's the avatar of Nothing. Stenriya notes that he has no threads of fate connecting to him, making it as if he does not actually exist. Ul-Dagan noticed that The Nameless One somehow seems to exist without directly interacting with any thing or object - first assuming that touching items hurts him somehow, but later realising that things that touch him vanish without a trace.

* TheUnintelligeble: He has a very strange way of speaking. Perhaps the best way to describe it as if he communicates the intention of his message - without including any of its substance. Interestingly Ranadil gets along with him very well and seems to fully understand him.

* EvilVersusOblivion: As strange as it may sound, his anti-life crusade is his way of saving Eador from Chaos - by eradicating the living with their emotions, desires and whims he creates a more orderly world of the dead that is therefore more resistant to Chaos. And technically it's viable, as assisting him long enough will make his world strong enough to be untouchable by Chaos.

* CollectionSidequest: He will take parts of the Ancients' machines you may randomly find across the shards to preserve legacy of his race. [[spoiler: It's actually a SchmuckBait - the parts are missing pieces of his DoomsdayDevice, and as soon as you give him enough he will rebuild it and activate it. Again.]]

* {{Archmage}}: He was one of the strongest Ilten mages of his time - not ''the'' strongest but pretty up there.

* StarFishAliens: Not an alien, as being an astral spirit he is as native to the Astral Plane as it gets, but otherwise fits, as his existance is utterly bizzare and he and his motives are pretty much incomprehensible.

L'Anshar is a lich, once a human necromancer and colleague of Beleth, who has come to believe that life was a horrific mistake and must be purged from Eador. He will demand that you perform a ritual he devised to rid your shard of life. If you refuse, he will eventually attack your shard to try and force you to accept.

* FauxAffablyEvil: When you first meet him he may seem like an awfully reasonable guy for someone who wants to kill all life in the world. He will not start your conversation with threats, and in fact, will never threaten you personaly, he is very difficult to piss off, he will deal with you no matter of your alignment, and he will (seemingly) even take no for an answer to join him in his anti-life crusade. Very soon you will realise that the reason he has no problem with you is because you are immortal, and thus are outside the cycle of life and death. The inhabitants of your shard are a whole different thing. And so, very soon after you meet him he will put you before a choice - either you kill off all life on your shard then and there or he invades and does this for you.

* Archmage: He was one of the strongest Ilten mages of his time - not ''the'' strongest but pretty up there.

* TheRemnant: Erdu still hopes to somehow restore the Ancients' race and civilization, which is why he expands his world in hope of finding a way to do so. In the process he clings to all scraps of the Ancients' civilization and culture such as his speech, much to Ul-Dagan's scorn.

* ArchdemonsAndFiends: Is one of the older demons in existence, and rules over his own shard.

* LiteralMinded: Extremely so. He's greatly annoyed by metaphors and other manners of figurative speech, as to him this is unnecessary twisting of truth. Previously he could not even understand such speech but by the time you meet him he's more or less accustomed to it.
* LivingLieDetector: Interestingly, he's also this for the same reason as he's LiteralMinded - closely attuned to the world he instantly senses when its presentation to him is distorted.

* PowerOfTheVoid: One possible explanation as for what he is is that he's the avatar of Nothing. Stenriya notes that he has no threads of fate connecting to him, making it as if he does not actually exist. Ul-Dagan noticed that The Nameless One somehow seems to exist without directly interacting with any thing or object - first assuming it was some sort of intangibility, but later realising that things that touch him vanish without a trace.

* BeyondGoodAndEvil: Presents himself as such. Realising that good and evil are relative and are not immediately apparent, he simply does not concern himself with notions of good and evil.

The creator and patron god of elves who died while staving off demons so that elven survivors could escape. Dead by the time the game starts in, his influence can still be felt throughout it, though you may not immediately recognise it as such.
