Stoneface and the Lord of Lightning

Deifol Hroth was once a welcome guest at Lanis Rhyl Landemiriam, before the elves had any inkling of what his true nature was. 

Deifol Hroth began as a human desperate for arcane knowledge, until his searches brought him to a deep cavern beyond the Far Grasslands, where the blackest of demons entered his body and took possession of his soul. Slowly, but surely, Deifol Hroth's personality faded and Jofod Kagir, the King of Devils became the dominant intelligence in Deifol Hroth's body.


It wasn't until the events chronicled in the short story Bawn Hae that Deifol Hroth admitted his demonic possession.


Morinnthe, Prince of the Elves, became more and more leery of Deifol Hroth since every time he visited the elvish capital, he asked to dig through archives and constantly begged to enter the Temple of the Lhalíi, which is forbidden to only but an initiated elf.


Eventually Deifol Hroth wore Morinnthe down, and on Morinnthe's wedding day, a Lengdyth Narlimé over five hundred years before the events of The Last Elf of Lanis, Morinnthe relented and allowed Deifol Hroth to enter the Temple of the Lhalíi, to see the Sun Shard.


Witnesses say the human wizard rudely laughed when he emerged from the temple, and insulted Morinnthe and his betrothed, Falrenne Fairflower Owendale on their wedding day.


Deifol Hroth was immediately escorted out of the city. Later that night a massive lightning storm raged over Lanis Rhyl Landemiriam. 


Legend insinuates that that was the first night the Lord of Lightning exercised his awesome power over the elements. 


Some speculate that Deifol Hroth's encounter with the Lhalíi precipitated his newfound power over the fire in the sky.
