The Dark Grimoire: An interactive roleplaying community

Not much is known about Balthazar, just that he is more than a man now, and is rumored to be able to command demons. It is also rumored that he has lived for thousands of years and caused the downfall of the Golden Age and the two great kingdoms of Valorn nearly four-hundred years ago. Before he could seize full control of Valorn, though, it is said that the rulers of Ryndall managed to bind him to the forest in the east. He remains there to this day, assuming the tyrant is still alive.

Ancient Valorian mythology tells of a continent that exists on some other plain of existence. This is said to be N'rolav, the Dark Valorn, where massive Demons run rampant, and an evil presence rules. The idea that Balthazar is somehow in touch with, or even possessed by, this mythological dark power has gained a following among the more paranoid of Valorn's population. What else can explain his near impossible powers?
