Master of the Hall

The Master of the Hall is a title belonging to the one whom created Shinegard, a stronghold which stands between the lands of the living and the dead. The history of the being is shrouded in mystery, and hasn't been sighted by even the most ancient of the inhabitants of Shinegard. It is said that he was a great warrior in life during the God Wars, perhaps a general or Dwarf Lord, or something of the sort. However, whatever past life the Master of the Hall had has been lost to history, as none save Voku has ever sighted him.

Although the Master of the Hall was present in Shinegard during the assault against and capturing of the spirit of the recently deceased Shadow Tyrant, the Master himself did not pay a part in the battle. This has lead some to doubt his capabilities, whilst others believe he only saw the Shadow Tyrant as a test for the inhabitants of Shinegard and not a serious threat.

During the Second God Wars, after UnMarkus could see that his defeat was imminent, he began to summon the Shadow Tyrant back into Raeltir. Having been trapped within the foundations of Shinegard, the behemoth ripped through the entire structure as it's spirit was brought back to the plane of the living. The Master of the Hall did battle with the Shadow Tyrant during this period and followed the God back into the realm of the living, locked in a continuous brawl with the being. This battle gave enough time for the other Gods to retreat, and otherwise they may have all been decimated by the arrival of this ancient evil.

However, the Shadow Tyrant managed to defeat the Master of the Hall, whose spirit was sent directly back to the now devestated Shinegard. UnMarkus, having been killed by the Shadow Tyrant and then defeated Voku, had declared that his intentions were pure and that he wished to fight the Shadow Tyrant for his murder. The Master of the Hall, however, seeing through these lies, quickly banished UnMarkus beyond the Walls of Reality before rebuilding Shinegard.
