Lokamayadon

Lokamayadon was a major figure in the Gbaji Wars.

He was an Orlanthi warrior from one of the Dawn Age tribes of the Talastari. He rose to great prominence as a heroquester, notably by his great personal breath (said to be the breath of a previous ancestor of his), commanding a powerful storm ram (that only got stronger under his lead, and racking up impressive victories over nearby clans and tribes.

He led the Orlanthi peoples that continued to support the World Council of Friends after the rebellious Heortlings abandoned the God Project. He was a friend to Nysalor, who he respected and studied under for years. He led the Orlanthi armies that helped to conquer the Heortlings, and was at the Battle of Night and Day, where he was illuminated by the presence and vision of Nysalor destroying Kyger Litor. He was then made a member of the ruling council. Lokamayadon continued his presence and power for years. He became so powerful he replaced worship of Orlanth with worship of himself and/or Tarumath, his "High Wind God." He was present at the Battle of the Verge, as witnessed by many. He engaged the enemy leader there, Vargast Redhand, and was slain. Vargast was then killed by Palangio the Iron Vrok. Without Lokamayadon, the new worship did not last and his people worshipped other deities.

Lokamayadon is remembered by most Orlanthi today as a traitor and curse to the Orlanthi. His example is often held up as an example of hubris and the danger of mistaking oneself for a god. The Heortlings have relentless hatred for him. The Alakorings remember him with less poison, but recognize that he was a failure, as was his god.
