[b]Dormammus [/b] God of Sorcery, God of Conjuration [b]Domain[/b]: Sorcery And Conjuring, Wisdom [b]Personality[/b]: Dormammus is not just powerful in his sorcery. He is a god of great knowledge and thundering personality. He is the god who understands the spirits he has created. Dormammus is a mighty creature full of power and strength beyond mortal will. Those who question him will receive his knowledge, and he loves to instruct mortals in the ways of higher knowledge. [b]Vulnerabilites[/b]: Dormammus is unlikely to be harmed by steel or iron, but iron lessens the power of his magic. Hence why many magicians refuse to wear armor. Using a sword will not likely hinder their powers, but being clothed in armor of metal will most likely require intense training to use magic inside it. Those wearing iron and steel armors will receive less harm from sorcery, though they can still suffer from the effects of magic, especially if the armor is sufficiently covering their entire body. [b]Region or location[/b] The Republic (Of Roarke) Dormammus is revered most in the country of Roarke, a third of the nation is located on the coast and in the sea, somewhat like the Netherlands through magical pillars and platforms. Roarke is a large nation in the world, over three hundred thousand square miles, though sparsely populated in-between the East and West portions of the nation, the West, where the magical cities are located, is perhaps, though not necessarily the most wealthy region in the world. The East is also extremely wealthy. Central Roarke is a land of many monasteries and isolated temples, and hermits, as well as a vast forestland. This land has many priceless herbs and resources, but also powerful monsters with tight zones of safe travel and containment for citizens. The Archmage is a figure head in the political landscape but in reality has more cultural influence than the Prime Minister. The three most important individuals in Roarke are the Archmage, in charge of running the education of Sorcerers and Conjurers, the Prime Minister, in charge of running political affairs, and the Ancient, an immortal sorcerer, the first Archmage of Dormammus, always living as a Demigod, [b]Influence[/b]: Dormammus is greatly feared and loved, but more feared than loved. He grants powers to those who seek him out, magicians who aren't born with their talents often seek him out for knowledge of how to control their powers. [b]Culture/Religion Influence:[/b] , [b]Powers[/b]: Dormammus has the body of a dragon, the body of a living fire, and the body of a phoenix, and he is very mutable, from the aforementioned forms of his godhood, to a normal Human being. As the god of Sorcery and Conjuring, his powers are based on magic-use, or being magical. Sorcery is the magic of energy manipulation from different sources. Mortals must use and/or create a magical object to use their powers, most often books, but sometimes wands, staves, rings or cloaks. Sorcery also uses spell reagents such as roots, potions, salt, and other objects to power a spell. The spells combine the powers of objects and incantations for a specific effect the spell caster wishes, for example, if they wished to transform into a dragon, they might need dragon scales, coal, ash, a phoenix feather and a drop of blood, in addition to powerful incantations and hand gestures. Conjuring is different and involves the summoning of monsters or other forces such as elementals. Sometimes conjuring involves pacts with monsters or other creatures. Conjuring can involve taking of the attributes of monsters, or the complete summoning. Like sorcery, conjuring needs spell reagents and powerful magical spells. The difference between sorcery and conjuring is that sorcery is purely for personal power and the building up of magical energy for manipulation. Conjuring is inferior in terms of growing more like the monster one wishes to summon, but a sorcerer can never conjure a monster using sorcery. The combination of sorcery and conjuration is called Wizardry. [b]Appearance[/b]: [url=http://imgur.com/dMn6vj6][img]http://i.imgur.com/dMn6vj6.jpg?2[/img][/url] [b]Opinions[/b]: [b]Kilgarrah[/b]: Kilgarrah is the god of dragons and knighthood, as such, Dormammus views Kilgarrah with a disappointed respect. While Kilgarrah views Dormammus as weak, Dormammus returns Kilgarrah's views in like kind with disappointment in his bull headed ways. [b]Nahargu’ul[/b] Another disappointment. With all the potential Nahargu'ul has with the oceans and seas as his domain, Dormammus is disappointed yet again that there isn't more attention given between the two. [b]Nahash [/b] Dormammus views Nahash'es dominion over The Mind as great and powerful, holding even him in awe. However Dormammus views Nahash as an equal in many ways, like a peer student. He would be interested in having Nahash as a wife. [b]Iuppiter[/b] Dormammus has great respect for Iuppiter. Not only for him being the god of storms, but as god of the Sun and Moon. Dormammus respects the magical power of the Moon and wishes that Iuppiter would be more of a Moon god than a god of storms and thunder. However, Iuppiter and Dormammus hold each other in mutual awe. [b]Ha[/b] Dormammus and Ha have the potential to equal Iuppiter and Dormammus'es mutual awe. Dormammus respects Ha's workmanship and even views him as a brother or at least cousin like entity. Dormammus is the god of instant magic, or at least "magic", while Ha has the ability to manipulate object's creation until they become magical. Dormammus respects that. [b]Yigzavath [/b] Dormammus thinks Yigzavath is interesting, as he loves to study whatever moves on two, six, or eight feet, it doesn't matter. He isn't crazy about what would happen if Yigzavath tried to do something big on the world below Aeterna, but he doesn't dislike Yigzavath. [b]Luck[/b]: Dormammus views Luck as another unrequited love interest. Dormammus even fails to understand why Luck doesn't view Dormammus with great wild love. After all, Luck is almost the same as Magic, in Dormammus'es view. [b]Asivar[/b]: Asivar has the potential to be Dormammus'es arch rival. He views Asivar as an intelligent man who always acts like an idiot despite the fact he knows better. [b]Kalla[/b]: Dormammus views Kalla with wonder and awe. He respects her for her power and wisdom, although he doesn't see her as his love interest. [b]Tales[/b]: [b]Creations:[/b] [b]Ring Of Dormammus[/b] Dormammus has created The Ring Of Dormammus, a powerful magical ring of sorcery and conjuring that immediately transforms a mortal into a Demigod. Upon hearing of Kilgarrah creating Smaug to hunt down sorcerers, Dormammus created the Ring in order to grant sorcerers a defensive weapon against him. The Ring negates all vulnerability to iron to any being less powerful than a full God, though Dormammus could doubtlessly find the Ring useful for certain situations himself. The Ring automatically teaches some sorcery while wearing it, and exponentially increases learning speed of spells and magic for the wearer. The Ring of Dormammus also greatly increases the wisdom, both intellect, and creativity of the wearer. [b]God's Blood Grail:[/b] While the Ring of Dormammus makes the bearer the most powerful magician in the world, the Grail makes the bearer the wisest man or woman in the world. With the Grail, they can become the most wise man or woman in the world, coming up with a solution to every problem, even to the extent of duplicating miracles of any god, though for a mortal scale. For example, they could not fight any of the gods with the Grail, but someone could become a dragon from a miracle of the Grail, manipulate thunder and lightning storms without spell reagents, or manipulate any miracle of the gods, including sorceries without spell reagents usually required to use this magic. [b]The Silver Moon:[/b] This world has Iuppiter's Moon, and Dormammus'es Moon. . . Dormammus has created The Moon of his own, called The Silver Moon. Mortals cannot hope to channel Dormammus'es powers without becoming a Demigod, so the Silver Moon is what actually holds Dormammus'es arcane energy. The Silver Moon is powerful and full of energy. It translates all sorcery and conjuration into manifesting in the world, and some argue, the planes. Removing the Moon wouldn't effect the world's sea tides, as removing Iuppiter's Moon would, but it may very well have a catastrophic effect, such as transforming all the world's Humans into werewolves, vampires, or creating a power hungry demigod, etcetera. [b]Uthgoliant[/b]: Upon hearing of Smaug, Dormammus was insensate that the Dragon servants could be used to hunt down sorcerers and conjurers down for good. After all, sorcerers aspired to become immortal, to become a dragon was a sorcerer's dream come true. For paragons of dragon kind to come together, could be a threat to all of Dormammus'es students. Thus, Dormammus temporarily exhausted a portion of his own power, and all the power of the Silver Moon for thirteen months, creating Uthgoliant. Uthgoliant is less than a god, and greater than a demi god. She is as immortal, some argue, as a goddess and creates lesser giant spiders from her brood by laying eggs. She is larger than any dragon, but there is only one Uthgoliant. [b]Uth-Brood:[/b] The Uth-Brood are giant spiders that hatch from Uthgoliant's eggs. Some are merely the size of a middling dog, but others are the size of elephants, blue whales, or even dragons. None of them are as powerful or nearly as powerful as one of the Draconic Paragons of Kilgarrah, but their sheer numbers could overwhelm the mortal world. Uthgoliant, meant to keep the Draconic Paragons in check, could endanger the entire world if the dragon races and others cannot cull enough of her Brood. [b]The Ancient[/b] The Ancient is the first Archmage of Dormammus and is as powerful as a Demigod. He can bestow immortality, resurrect the dead, or even command powerful sorcery enough to commune with Dormammus, all sorcerers and conjurers in the entire world, and even Uthgoliant herself. The Ancient's first name is unknown, as he was an amnesiac who has forsaken his previous life to become Dormammus'es favored. [b]Shelob[/b] Uthgoliant's first child. Shelob is unique among the spiders in that he is as powerful as a great spider queen, one of the Primeval dragons, in fact, the only of Uthgoliant's brood who can match dragons like Smaug and the others. Shelob is gluttonous and greedy, a predator who's always on the move. While Uthgoliant is as powerful as several Primeval dragons, Shelob is perhaps only as powerful as one. The rest of Uthgoliant's brood are lesser. However, Shelob's poison is deadly. He can spit webbing to restrain prey before devouring them.
