The Lays of Alentë - Scripts

Minhierr Helcar, the Lord of Darkness

Minhierr Helcar, the Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Death, is the creator being of Helrriard, the Land of Energies, and of the Helimard, the civilization that prospered in this world.

Since the beginning of times, Minhierr showed himself far of the designs of Assian and Emial, the Primordial Beings.

He was powerful, but his power was hidden behind a cloak of sadness and hopelessness.

Only Nialitel, his companion, managed to be sympathetic enough to him, but in occasions, not even this was enough.

When Níssiriel was who had the permission to allow the evolution to intelligent life in her world, Assiria, at the beginning it didn't matter to Minhierr, but with the passing of time, he started to question if this was a fair decision.

And so, he disobeyed to the Primordial Beings, and allowed evolution in his world, leading to the birth of the Helimard.

Far from being punished and exiled from the universe for such action, Assian and Emial sympathized, and they allowed to the other beings to allow the evolution in their respective worlds, leading to the birth of the civilizations of Alentë.

Minhierr left behind his sadness and his depression for a long time, but soon he noticed of something strange that was happening in the distant stars of the cosmos.

For some reason, they were fading.

Minhierr was pending of this event without saying anything to his companions, until that the Shadow fell over the Alentë Nebula, and how the observer he had been, the wise Anmatar sent him to investigate.

However, this was a terrible decision.

Minhierr travelled over the cosmos until the limits of Unir, and there he entered in contact with these mysterious shadowy beings, so mysterious that they were known as the Nameless, and they were led by the Lords of the End.

They corrupted Minhierr, explaining him that they followed the mandates of something they called the Balance, who was responsible for establishing order in the universe.

They made Minhierr to understand that the civilizations of their worlds were doomed to an agonizing death in a tiny world, as if they were caged beasts condemned to die.

All these ideas manipulated Minhierr of such way that he tried to convince Nialitel that these ideas were the correct ones, without mentioning the Nameless, but when he noticed of her rejection, he understood that he was completely alone.

Determined to claim what was his, he went to his world, Helrriard, and warned to the Helimard that from now on they should be submissive to his designs or to be exterminated.

The Helimard, proud as they were, didn't listen to him.

And so, Minhierr unloaded all his cruelty against the beings that he had created, and the Ruin of Helrriard left the world in great darkness.

Not content with this, he decided to conquer the rest of the worlds.

Under a beautiful form, he presented himself to the civilizations, convincing them until corruption that the Nameless were very powerful, and that if they didn't join the Being of Helrriard, they would perish.

The Corrupts arised, and among them there were rose the Aancë, the Children of the No-Light, as mockery to the Aelmë of Assiria, those that Níssiriel allowed to exist the first because she created the most beautiful world to the eyes of the Primordial Beings.

Minhierr was exiled of the councils of the Beings, and ruled in Helrriard for many years, letting that his Aancë servants take care of the conquest of the rest of the worlds.

As the nature of the Nameless is unknown even for the creator beings, they couldn't do much to help their civilizations.

They have to fight and defend themselves, if they ever aspired to defeat their enemies.

Many were the names that he had after the Ruin. The Emptiness Bane, the Beast, the Broken Hole, the Shadow, the Ruined, the Dark and the Devastated, so he was known for each one of the different civilizations.

Minhierr's fall into madness was a product of misunderstanding and hopelessness.

He felt withdrawn and strange among his companions.

Despite everything, there are those who say that Minhierr is not really a being of evil, and that in the deepest part of his existence, he still remembers the moments with Nialitel.

As a tormented entity, and at the same time, thirsty for revenge for the damage suffered, he would achieve an unimaginable power, and there would be no one who would dare to face him.

As he said before separating from his companions, when the meaning of life is death, hope dissappears.

And the poem in his honor that the Helimard sang, both before and after the ruin, it reflects how they perceive him.

A Minhierr, obscer yt trisad, yt norr Lorr

Que rilamrd farrenerd sober derrd riverrd, omeren

Yt derrd obscerrd eskomirrd tarenerd derr himorr

Minhierr, err derr vida, darren yt janeren

To Minhierr, dark and sad, and our Lord

That tears fall over the rivers, to flood

And the dark clouds cover the sky

Minhierr, he the life, give and remove
