Isidor of Venderthal

Isidor of Venderthal is a noble who conquered the city of Venderthal following the failed uprising of Belaerian Hammersworth.

Rise to Power
In the year of 592, in the aftermath of the first Belaeron War of Independence, Lord Isidor, a member of the contemporary council of the city, staged a coup against the rest of the councilors resulting in total authoritarian rule. Soon thereafter, Lord Isidor declared Venderthal's independence as a city state, demanding that King Heimrad III of Thromera recognize his reign as legitimate and surrender his sovereignty over the lands. Instead of granting Isidor what he demanded, the king's advisors sent assassins to deal with the rogue lord, resulting in dozens of failed attempts at his life.

Isidor's End
After many failed assassinations and small scale invasions, the Thromeran crown changed their approach, instead opting to plead with the Church of Veur for aid. Their prime paladin, Evangeline, offered to bear the responsibility, setting out on a quest to find a weapon capable of slaying the powerful undead lord. When she returned, she wielded the greatsword that would come to be known as Isidor's Bane, the same blade with which she would come to put an end to the dictator's illegitimate rule. Rather than entirely destroying Isidor, Evangeline trapped him, keeping him imprisoned for centuries to come.

Second Conquest of Venderthal
At some point after the Co-Workers had been imprisoned in the Bluedale Mines, Isidor of Venderthal made his return to his old city. Using unknown portal-like magic, Isidor succeeded in making the entire Red River disappear for many miles, allowing for his passage to the northern side of the kingdom. After taking the city, dark, thick clouds appeared in the sky above Venderthal, blocking out all sunlight.
