Lorenth Fyrirenn

Lorenth Fyrirenn, by Talon Dunning

Description

Lorenth is a tall, gaunt figure with white hair, although his true age is uncertain. He keeps a trimmed beard and mustache, but the rest of him has a manic feel. His eyes are vivid and wild, and so is the way he carries himself. He wears dull white clerical robes with gold trim that cover most of his scarred skin. He is the Darklord of Bileplate

History

Early life

Lorenth Fyrirenn was high priest of a deity of wine and earthly pleasures. When Lorenth tired of the pleasures of women and drink and those of love and art, he began a descent into morbid and forbidden pleasures. He would torture people and even use self-mutilation to give him new delights. Soon he and those of his followers who did not turn on him started to preach that the temple should include the other, and to them more truthfully pleasurable, pursuits of agony and madness. Soon the whole kingdom was but a mad gallery of Lorenth’s sick idea of the true pleasures and delights. When the curiosities stopped holding his interest, he demanded his god let him experience the pleasures in a more fulfilling way. He became cursed to only dully feel through his minions. This lets him feel their pleasures, both those of joy and pain, but he is never satisfied, always craving more, becoming more of a monster as he lost knowledge of his past, unable to discern his original thoughts from those of what he has become.

Arrival in Ravenloft

His temple and city was drawn into the Demiplane of Dread, resting in a crater in a domain that is as chaotic and insane as his mind. His domain has split realities: the physical plane that feels as stale and used-up as the pleasures he discarded, and The Otherworld, the mental reality that is his insane paradise of the perverse, where he can create new levels of pleasure through agony and madness and feel them through those that suffer them. Lorenth feels that he is a god himself now and with his powers many would agree.
