Legend Lore: Volktollenh, The Star Scourge, The Guardian of the Eonic Order

(Void Wyrm)

 
The illusory script begins, but seems forced. The Voidheart pulses and the room grows dark.
  Volktollenh was one of the first Wyrms, and the first of the Eonic Order to suggest flight in the face of Pikyr's ascension to power.   His power was used by the Eonic Order to create a hidden space in the Astral Sea - a Void Cache. This Void Cache was used for the Eonic Order to live in peace away from Pikyr's vengeful eyes, and continue to plot against him and aid the world in secret.   As Guardian it was his duty to remain outside of the Void Cache, ensuring it remained hidden through the power of his soul. He used his remaining power to act as a hidden connection between the Eonic Order and the rest of the Universe, observing and helping where possible.   He watched in isolation, only acting as his duties dictated. His interactions with others of the Order were infrequent throughout the centuries - a move that would ultimately lead to their downfall.   Although he was tasked with watching for threats to the Order from without, the threat came from within. After some dissent, Volktollenh had returned to find that the Wyrms within the Cache had devolved to primal beasts, and a war had erupted. The decimation of his kind threatened to unleash power into the universe and had potential to create an evil made of the corrupted Wyrmsouls. To prevent this, Volktollenh had collapsed the Void Cache in on itself in a great singularity - committing genocide on his people in a guilty act that haunts him to this day.   In his weakened state, the Void Wyrm went into a hidden slumber - regaining his strength to one day fight and defeat Pikyr, and to shephard the world into a new dawn. This process was interrupted due to a mishap between his slumbering form and The Astral Cutter, and he is now working with the Heroes of Vareholm in an effort to contain his kin that had broken into the world.
