Ogithus: A man consumed by ambition. Once a leader at the Divine Summit, he corrupted the Primordial Elementals, leading to Thornhaven's to ruin. He sought to harness the power of the Primordial Elementals for his own nefarious purposes. Through deceit and treachery, he ensnared the elemental spirits in a slumber, draining their essence through the sacred Four Orbs of Being. Ogithus continues wearing the crown. The four orbs of power rests on each point of the crown. He needs to empower the remaining two that have lost power throughout the years. Many years had passed when it was revealed of the halflings and Ogithus sensed he missed something. Now he has returned to gain all the power once more. Without hundreds and hundreds of elementals to drain, he targeted two of the remaining four, Helga and Tyvyn. Ogithus loses strength when the four orbs of power are drained. These orbs withered in power over the years. Now he's after the four remaining halflings to fuel the two orbs. His followers were on the outskirts of town in a nearby city.

Divine Summit: This was a beautiful place that King Thorn gifted the elementals and dreamers. This place is where the Chaos Kingdom is now. It was corrupted by Ogithus.

Sydrah: The God of the Void, who seduced Ogithus with promises of power, leading him down a path of madness, he preached a gospel of dominion over time and space. His charisma drew souls into the vortex of his fanaticism, where sacrifices and rituals became the currency of power. Sydrah is the God of Void - Space and Time, a God that Ogithus worships and channels his power through. We have never seen a physical manifestation of this God, but his presence looms and he may physically appear at any time.
