“i take what is mine, as is my divine right!! the ends ALWAYS justify the means!!”
lord erysichthon phalaris is the king of dezalko. he slaughtered his whole family to get the throne. as king, he started a reign of terror, killing anyone who dare opposed him, imposing harsh taxes, cruel laws n killing people just because he felt like it.
the deathbringer is a mighty sword imbued w his own hatred, cruelty n the blood of his many victims, it makes him 10x more powerful n 10x more murderous. the more he uses it, the more it tears away at his sanity.
trivia: his name comes from horrid ancient greek kings. erysichthon, whose name means “earth-tearer”, was a king in ovid’s metamorphoses, who clear cut a forest sacred to demeter n was cursed w eternal hunger until he ate himself alive. phalaris was a real life ancient greek tyrant who invented n was executed by the brazen bull.
