Itharin


 * "...and I saw him tossed aside...with a flick of his wrist and a blaze of violet eyes...I saw the Lord of the Arcane reduced to dust."

Itharin is a mysterious and powerful entity of an unknown origin, first encountered In Wake of the End. He is quite possibly at the level of a Demisighbe. Little is known about his origin, character or objectives, other than a brief snippet from Jack claiming merely that he is quite mad. Some of his abilities have been seen, and these seem to be worryingly large in scope considering the possibility that he may well emerge as an adversary.

Activities
Itharin's first appearance is in the forum roleplay arc In Wake of the End, where he transports a number of people from various dimensions to The Homeworld for largely unknown reasons, and then proceeds to interfere with their activities seemingly randomly.

Itharin is first encountered in a main story arc in "Prelude (The Edge of Ruin)", a sub-Arc of Death of the Impossible after Darix and Thesius are instructed to seek him by Quïdin. At this point he appears to dwell in a former forest surrounded by a forceshield of his own creation, but has destroyed most of the landscape directly surrounding him. After a brief and confusing dialogue with Darix and Thesius, he sends the pair to The Homeworld via portal, apparently completely bypassing the The End's dimensional barrier.

Itharin later seems to appear and destroy a horde of Endspawn, quite possibly saving Darix and Thesius.

Abilities
Itharin has been shown to be a being of immense power, possibly reaching the Demisighbe level. He has been seen to: This is quite probably only a very small cross-section of his abilities.
 * Create enourmous force fields that span several miles while still maintaining vast cohesiveness.
 * Create seemingly independantly intelligent energy beings with their own immense power.
 * Teleport and open portals anywhere, seemingly regardless of any blocks or other restrictions.
 * Destroy massive hordes of End drones in seconds.

Character
Itharin is, according to Jack, quite insane. If the state of his surroundings when first encountered by the heroes is anything to go by, then he has vast destructive tendancies. However, he was not openly hostile to Darix and Thesius, and while he has moved them without their will, has not yet actually harmed them. Furthermore, he destroyed a horde of End drones just before Darix and Thesius were overrun, saving them (although possibly inadvertently). It is safe to say that Itharin's motives are confusing at best.
