Solthurn, with his imposing stature, bears the menacing aura of evil divinity. His armored form gleams with a dark, malevolent sheen. Eyes that burn with raw, unquenchable ambition peer from beneath his infamous crown, said to have dominion over the very stars. As one who has forsaken the path of righteousness, Solthurn embodies the epitome of a paladin's power turned dark, using it not for protection, but for dominion and tyranny.

In the ages past, Solthurn was once a revered paladin, devoted to the cause of justice and righteousness. However, his thirst for power led him down a path of corruption. Betraying his sacred oaths, he sought artifacts of great power, culminating in his conquest of the Starcrown, a legendary relic said to command entire stars. With this newfound power, Solthurn declared himself a god, demanding worship and fealty.

The gods of Greyhawk, alarmed by his rapid ascension and ruthless methods, sought to curb his ambitions. However, Solthurn's might, bolstered by the Starcrown, made him a formidable foe. He has since waged wars against other deities, intending to subjugate or annihilate any who oppose his dominion.

Warlords, conquerors, tyrants, those who seek power at any cost, and dark paladins who have forsaken their original oaths in the quest for dominion.

Famous Historical Event: The Eclipse War – A time when Solthurn, harnessing the power of the Starcrown, blotted out the sun, plunging the world of Greyhawk into darkness. This act of sheer power was a demonstration to both mortals and gods alike of his might and his willingness to use it to enforce his will.

Tarnis the Starbreaker - Once a noble knight, Tarnis fell under Solthurn's influence, seduced by promises of unmatched power. Now, as the Starbreaker, he leads Solthurn's dark legions, wielding a blade imbued with celestial energy, leaving devastation in his wake.
