Malferion

Malferion is depicted as a monstrous figure, shrouded in roaring flames and radiating an aura of infernal fury. His eyes are swirling vortexes of chaos, and his form is ever-shifting, never settling into a single shape but always maintaining an air of horrifying majesty. His visage alone is enough to instill deep dread and unbearable rage in the hearts of those who dare to look upon him.

Malferion is considered the original devil, the primal force of infernal rage that threatened to consume the realms. His very existence is antithetical to order, peace, and life itself. Unable to destroy him, the gods Torunomax, Arcanoxis, and Celethyra pooled their divine powers to imprison Malferion within a mystical artifact known as the "Cage of Eternities." Since then, he has been bound, but not powerless. From his confinement, he whispers to the susceptible, planting seeds of rage and destruction in their souls.

Malferion's followers are malevolent beings consumed by their destructive urges. Cults dedicated to freeing him from his prison are scattered across the realms, often hidden in the bowels of society. They engage in dark rituals aimed at weakening the Cage of Eternities, believing that once Malferion is freed, he will obliterate the current existence and reshape it in his malevolent image.

The "Cataclysm of Sharron" marks a terrifying instance when a cult nearly succeeded in cracking the Cage of Eternities. The kingdom of Sharron was swallowed by the ground, leaving behind a gaping abyss that continues to spew infernal creatures to this day. The gods intervened just in time, reinforcing the cage but at a great cost, including the complete annihilation of Sharron.

Korvex the Unquenchable, a warlock of unparalleled cruelty, is Malferion's earthly agent. Armed with a flail made from chains that are said to have bound Malferion himself, Korvex tirelessly seeks the components needed to shatter the Cage of Eternities.

Malferion's malevolent essence remains a dark undercurrent in the realms, an infernal rage suppressed but not extinguished. His cults and followers work in the shadows, fervently awaiting the day their dark god is unchained, thereby allowing the realms to be consumed in a wrathful inferno of his creation.
