Gorivax
Gorivax (a.k.a. The Infernal One)
Gorivax was born in Nexalia, in the early years of Urithan. He later began to rule an island that would one day be known as Nexalia. To the tribal folk of Nexalia, Gorivax had such power that he was worshipped as a God, to which you can find some remnants of to this day.
The Cultists would traditionally offer girls with to the dragon as an offering. He collected the girls with the greatest amount of innate magical potential and twisted their forms into dragonborn. It is believed by many that the first dragonborn were made by the hand of Gorivax. It is still up to debate on whether or not this was true.
While the other children were content to remain with Gorivax, there was one who wished for freedom - Kernava. When given ample opportunity she fled his domain, escaping both Gorivax and from her past life. Enraged at Kernava's disloyalty, Gorivax sent out his cultists to find her, but, even after years of searching he could not find the spry, young, Dragonborn.
Kernava after achieving great wealth during her travels had settled down on a sort of retirement in a small village in a continent the what would later be known as Aldmeria. Then one fateful day Gorivax and his followers attacked the village. The guards and all the local had been slaughtered. Despite her valiant efforts Kernava was recaptured by Gorivax.
However, one day, his cultists made their way to the newly founded Aldmeria, a holy land, and found Kernava. She was captured in the night, and brought before the Ancient Dragon once more. Now, Gorivax could finally complete his plan for true immortality. He gathered Kernava and six other dragonborns he deemed worthy, and refined their hearts in to what would be known as the seven souls of Gorivax.
He had achieved his life's ambition, but not before the Seven Seekers caught up to him; destroying most of the "souls", and slew the Dracolich. Or so they thought...
One heart was missing, so how do they know he was truly destroyed, and hasn't remained among us all this time?
