Captain:Nalúnt/Nalúnt the Fallen

"Not even the gods of nature, one as proud and as wrathful as Nalúnt Earth Scorcher could withstand the full terror and might of the Adversary. What fear and defeat ran through Nalúnt that very moment is all the Adversary needed to give rise to the most contemptible of his servants; a fallen god. And it was then that He knew that the gods of this world could indeed die."

- Kinmorunddraver World-Walker

Nalúnt, the Fallen God of Storms, also known as Nalúnt Ambhíqolosemos is a servant of the Simulacrum of Destruction Caligaduro Provectus, and was formerly Nalúnt-Earth Scorcher, the Colossus of Storms.

History
In the earliest epoch of Koldenwelt, during the reign of Akhemazdrís the Unending in the shaplessness of the world, the gods Soldalatel and Aethereus had shape the Storm Drakes and Sun Drakes in the form of Akhemazdrís; and then sent the Echdrarothrayu to cultivate life and civilisation upon Koldenwelt once life thrived upon it. Nalúnt Earth-Scorcher was the most powerful and first of the Storm Drakes, and therefore granted the title as the primordial god of storms and weather. The Echdrarothrayu taught Nalúnt and the Storm Drakes how to speak in their tongue, and eventually all other True Dragons began to rise with the Storm Drakes ruling the north and the Sun Drakes ruling the south. For many millennia did the Storm Drakes thrive until Caligaduro Provectus destroyed the Echdrarothrayu, leaving Kinmorunddraver their sole survivor. Kinmorunddraver had resided in the world of the Storm Drakes for almost fifty thousand years until Caligaduro had then come to destroy the Storm Drakes; Nalúnt had ordered Kinmorunddraver to leave and survive the onslaught, leaving Nalúnt at the mercy of the Simulacrum of Destruction. The fear which overcame Nalúnt; the fear of Caligaduro had allowed Caligaduro to spare him at a cost of his mortality and earthly nature; something that Nalúnt was reluctant to accept but succumbed to.

Nalúnt fell to the powers of the Void, and was resurrected in the form of Nalúnt the Fallen, and bequeathed the title Ambhíqolosemos, the first of many servants that Caligaduro came to gather in his reign of Koldenwelt. In the hierarchies of the void, Nalúnt was regarded as high a figure as Kaicaiusarin and Vargash, and was, amid complex hierarchies within the realm of Nothing, the ruler of the plane. Many unnamed Colossi that fell in the ancient history of Koldenwelt, as well as many immortals and civilisations were left without a trace due to Nalúnt's powers. Nalúnt was the last of Caligaduro's demigod servants to be defeated, having been imprisoned within the same recesses of the world as Caligaduro himself upon their defeat, at the hands of the Simulacra and Colossi. Unlike Caligaduro, Vargash and Kaicaiusarin of whose influences still thrive on Koldenwelt, Nalúnt has no cult surrounding him nor any servants that have survived to the present day.

Appearance
In his present form, Nalúnt takes the appearance of a colossal Void Drake that resembles, vaguely, a Storm Drake. Nalúnt's face is now thin and spear-like in shape with no apparent eyes present (though replaced in the form of blackened spheres within the eye sockets). Nalúnt stands over a kilometre tall and many kilometres from head to tail, and much of his form is covered in blackened spikes and skeletal armour that often shows in other Void Denizens. Nalúnt is also shrouded in a blackened mist and aura that follows him wherever he travels, mostly obscuring his enormous stature. Nalúnt in his form as a Chaosphere Demigod was said to be able to assume other forms when so inclined.

Personality
Nalúnt retains much of his former pride and aggression from his nature as a Storm Drake, but misdirected in his resurrection as an entity of the Void. Much of Caligaduro's influence has stained Nalúnt's soul, leaving him a malicious and hateful servant of the powers above him. However, entities such as Kinmorunddraver claim that Nalúnt is not wholly evil and that some remainder of his former self is buried deep within what Caligaduro has made out of him, though it would be not so easily saved. Ambhíqolosemos was said to have been the most rational and judgemental of Caligaduro's three most powerful servants, sometimes conflicting with Vargash and Kaicaiusarin on their individual goals.

Abilities
As once the god of storms and a very high ranking denizen of the void, Nalúnt's powers put him on par with both Vargash and Kaicaiusarin. His presence alone was said to have dictated the very skies and weather around him, causing everything to become dead, shadowy and very cold in his wake. As his soul was torn from the foundations of the Source itself, what Nalúnt had become had replaced such a tear in the magic of the world with darkness of the void, and such was most of the distortion of the world during the time was at cause of Nalúnt himself rather than Caligaduro. Nalúnt's destructive powers came from his transformed ability to project void magic from his being.
