The Darklords, also known as the Darklords of Helgedad, were monsters created by the Dark God Naar to conquer the world of Magnamund. They had very individual personalities and characteristics, but all were thoroughly evil. The very sight of a Darklord would drive an average mortal insane. Before appearing in Magnamund, twisted by Naar, they existed as timeless beings not racked by the evil hatred and anger that later characterized them.

PowersEdit
These evil beings were immune to all normal weapons; only the Sommerswerd and supernatural weapons that they themselves created could mortally wound them. They had another weakness: the pure air and sunshine of Magnamund was poison to them. That weakness spurred the creation of the Darklands to give them a hospitable home.
