Tyrant.
On a throne of stone, he sits in his throne room. An open skylight looms above him, illuminating the empty throne room, devoid of life. Spikes jut out from the walls, but the ground is so smooth that the light reflecting off of it is said to blind those that see it. The room is so large that the echo is said to be deafening and go on for hours.
Tyrant sits, slumped, on his throne. He rarely stands, he rarely moves. He has no need to. For his Hall is mighty, and his power unchallengeable. In all senses of the word, Tyrant is the closest thing one can get to a God without becoming a God. And he knows this just as well as anyone.
It is said even standing in his presence is enough to drive some people mad. Reports state that some that have met Tyrant in the Hall of the Mountain King have then left and jumped off of the Stairs of Torment. Others say that no one meets Tyrant. Both are true. Tyrant does not allow visitors, but the few that he had allowed died. Only the Twenty Immortals and Etcher, hellbent on living eternally, can stand the presence of the Godly figure of Tyrant and his Hall of the Mountain King.

Scope
The Hall itself lies atop a mountain at the very center of Udai. The mountain is one of the largest in the world, and the Hall is a straight path through the mountain. The only way to get around the mountains without a boat.
But the Hall is not just the structure inside the mountain, nor the mountain itself. The Hall of the Mountain King grows every year. As each year passes, Tyrant's ability gains access to more and more land in Totania. But what is Tyrant's ability?
The Ability
Tyrant's ability also shares the name
In the Hall of the Mountain King. What it does is it allows Tyrant control over a radius of land around the mountain in any way he pleases. It does not move with Tyrant, instead staying centralized in and around the mountain. This area expands with each year that Tyrant lives.
It is said that in fifteen years, Tyrant will have control over all land in Totania. For this, Tyrant has extended his mortal lifespan with the powers of magic and other abilities his servants have.
With this, Tyrant can also see anywhere in his radius. This means he knows anyone who is there and, if he sees an enemy, he can easily manipulate the earth to kill them. Ways he can do that are limitless. He can create earthquakes, holes, spikes, mountains. He can even crush or imprison people with rock, or grow forests under their feet to tear through them. The possibilities are endless and horrifying.
