Lord of Lords

Once a human cleric, the Lord Of Lords soughtpower greater than godhood to overcome death. Under the tutelage of several of the old world's liches, the Lord of Lords learned incredibly powerful magic their church would never have shared. So began a ritual to bind the cleric's patron diety and consume it to ascend to godeater. The Lord of Lords nearly succeeded but the first drop of divine blood obliterated the body and forced the Lord of Lords to ressurect in secret under a new identity.

By now, the Lord of Lords was seen as something worthy of worship and many came to die in its name, to be resurrected in service of The Greater One. Many warlocks and clerics came to break their pacts and faith in surrender, but the Lord of Lords used their gods and patrons to hide itself and to plot with other great forces to take down the divine that could not be eaten.

With a cabal of undead mages (demi liches, mummy lords, vampires, etc.) to conceal its presence, the Lord of Lords attempted to become a draco lich in order to have a body capable of withstanding divine blood. A forbidden ritual of magic above 9th tier was used to trap the souls of major cities into philosopher's stones needed for the transformation.

The Lord of Lords was bound in a sarcophagus by a childhood friend and fellow cleric before becoming a draco lich. The divinity sent word to all on the island that this transgression will never happen again, the entire continent will be scorched in radiant flame, its existence erased from all history.

Some mages hid away out of time, some set sanctuaries in the divines name, others hid far below ground or even demi planes. The Lord of Lords survived and has finally on the cusp of outliving tthe cleric that bound it to the sarcophagus, ready to be freed and consume the gods again
