  • Symbol: A black sun with jagged rays
  • Personality: Taelkor believed in purity through eradication. He viewed free will as the ultimate corruption and sought to undo the work of his kin. He created an army of mindless horrors to purge the world. Though defeated, his influence lingers in the whispers of zealots who wish to reset the world.

Unlike the other gods, Taelkor refused to participate in the Awakening, making him fundamentally different (and far more dangerous).

  • Direct Power: While the other gods became intangible, Taelkor retained his physical form and could act freely, shaping reality without needing mortal rituals or belief.
  • Unbound by Mortals: He had no reliance on lifelines to reality. He was fully aware and capable of direct intervention at all times.
  • The War of Annihilation: Viewing the gods' transformation as corruption, he sought to erase all life. The only way to truly destroy the ones who had tied themselves to mortals.
  • Death: Though defeated, it isn't clear if he can truly die. His physical form was shattered, but as a World Builder, he is not mortal. The gods fear that he may one day return, seeking to finish what he started.
