Duke Sozkeden Valkar
Lord Sozkeden Valkar (a.k.a. The 14th Lord)
An ancient being of terrible power and cunning, Sozkeden Valkar has returned to Eregoth from his long imprisonment beneath Red Lake. Owing to his vampiric nature, he is the only surviving member of House Valkar, though the entrenched noble bloodlines of Eregoth tie him to the modern House Fenheart, which he claims is upstart against him.
Duke Sozkeden Valkar was slain by a coalition of Eregothi heroes on Vespides 15, 1945, within the City Hall of Ethemble.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Born to the 13th Lord of Hawk Island during the Age Of Dragons. Sozkeden was taught by his father to believe that Eregoth was set to inherit the world. Sozkeden began to work tirelessly towards sculpting himself to raise the challenge of play in the stage of world power. Training himself in magic, alchemy, and personal combat, he quickly began to out-pace all of his peers. During this time of study, the island nation of Keldan was taken over by Drexac Nirzhartau, the Great Green World Dragon. Sozkeden's father saw the rising darkness that took seed in the new Keldan regime, and brought his solution to the Great Gold World Dragon that ruled over Eregoth: total war until Keldan could be wiped off the face of Armea. The Gold World Dragon had the 13th Lord of Hawk Island executed for suggesting that Eregoth engage in such barbaric practices. The loss of his father set Sozkeden on a much darker path, and ended up landing him a fate that is worse than death.
