Val'Nar

Said to be born of stars, he was the first of the benevolent beings and champion of the Astral Planes. Val'Nar. After centuries of battling demons of the abyss alongside the Baatezu; he grew tired of the Old Gods ways. The Baatezu were, in his eyes, no better than the fiends they were intended to destroy, he foretold them defecting from the Old Gods, aiming to overthrow their creators. Val’Nar brought warning of his vision, but the Old Gods would not listen.

He abandoned the Astral Plane, leaving the Old Gods to fight their own war against the abyssals, he now had his own agenda; the birth of mankind, the first of the free-willed mortals. Entering the Planes of Existence he came across the planet Gaia, a hellish world that had been infested with demons for millennia. It was here that Val’Nar would begin his crusade, it was here that his titles of God King and The Allfather would be forged.

His arrival marked the first light the world had seen in an age, a blazing meteor plummeting at impossible speed towards the Gaia’s surface. The resulting impact reverberated throughout the world, shaking the earth to its very core, which, after a years of dormancy, ignited once again. Emerging from the giant crater, the God King surged through the land, an onslaught of pure fire and fury, where he strode the corrupted earth burned, as he fought storms brewed over head, as he spoke hundreds of demons sreamed in agony. They fought back at first, but as thousands fell in every swing of the God King’s blazing sword, they fled to the darkest reaches, Val’Nar in pursuit.

The great cleansing had begun, larger and stronger demons emerged from the depths, Val’Nar did not falter and struck them down with little effort. Portals from the abyss opened, masses of demons pouring through. Carving his way through the hordes he closed them, re-stitching the tears in reality. Coming to a stop atop what is now known as Draegor Peak, the God King gazed upon his handiwork. In his wake lie the corpses of countless demons, their bodies slowly turning to ash. The world before him stood barren. Great scars bore deep into the earth, huge fragments of rock lay suspended in the air, the light of the sun had not kissed Gaia’s surface in thousands of years.
