Shadokhan
The Archmage Supreme
Shadokhan (real name Senthas Laelithar) was a diamond elf-turned-Izernlich magician. Though long destroyed, he is, to this day, considered the most powerful mage to ever walk Erdos, and is the only magician to have held the title of Archmage Supreme.

Personal history
Born 23 years before the War of the Varn, the diamond drae Senthas Laelithar displayed a talent for magic from an early age. As soon as he graduated from the Akualinorian Academy of Arcane Sciences with a Master on Transmutation magic, he became employed by Blackblade Armaments; a Danaheirajan Grand Guild.
When the War of the Varn broke out, Senthas sided with the forces of Ovi Varn along with the rest of Blackblade Armaments. During that time, he and Guildmaster Murad Draracle developed the Aegis; the most sophisticated magic plate armor—essentially a powered exoskeleton.
During the war, he befriended a young emerald drae druid called Kaessenva Dydd.
When the war ended, Erdos was left in ruins. All of the Grand Guilds, including Blackblade Armaments, were devastated. Murad Draracle himself was killed during the war, though his demice was due to cancer. Senthas briefly retreated in isolation in Danaheiraj. While there he helped train and raise Shadid Draracle (Murad’s son).
In 19 AV, at the behest of Dydd, Senthas and Shadid traveled to the Kingdom of Mallenor to help against the newborn Church of Hredd; an evil goddess of winter and death. Senthas, Shahid, and Dydd joined forces with the young Khaylen Thorne.
Senthas and Shahid repaired the Aegis for Khaylen and also crafted two incredibly powerful axes for him; the Havoc and Malice. Thus armed, Khaylen and his new allies formed the Ravenguard; a legendary band of adventurers.
Along with the rest of Ravenguard, Senthas was instrumental in obliterating Hredd’s Church and effectively ending the dark goddess’ worship on Erdos. Furthermore, Senthas assisted Khaylen in conquering the Kingdom of Mallenor, and then most of the world. Around that time, in a private ceremony, he and Dydd got married.
After Khaylen crowned himself Imperium, Senthas devoted his life to arcane research. He mastered Conjuration and in 120 AV, he reinvented the lost teleportation spells. His monumental success was marred by the passing of Dydd. After a period of mourning, he portaled to another world called Kjeldorn where he remained for 43 years.
It is unclear what transpired while he stayed on Kjeldorn, but most theories suggest he met a great master of magic who tutored him in greater and deeper arcane secrets. When Senthas Laelithar returned to Erdos on 226 AV, he was a changed man. Now calling himself Shadokhan and transformed into a lich, his power had increased exponentially. Now a master of all Schools of magic, he devoted his life in further research and advancement of the magical sciences. In time he upgraded his rotting body in the form of an Izernlich (a technology he invented).
Shadokhan’s experiments were dreadful, but resulted in monumental advances in magic. Many of the spells used today, were lost during the War of the Varn but were rediscovered or reinvented by Shadokhan. For that he became known as the Archmage Supreme.
Shadokhan met his final end in 1522 AV, at the hands of Kaenus Elang’Draeon and Damian Von Redlore. His legacy however, still lives on.
He has two extant descendants: Maea (Maia) Kaessenva Laelithar (Archdruid of the Circle of the Raven and member of the legendary Fatebreakers) and Aelthas Laelithar (Archmage and member of the mighty Brightstones).
