Alæl once ruled a flourishing Elven kingdom, celebrated for its beauty and wisdom. However, as his ambitions grew, he drew the attention-and ire-of the jealous god Kêdêmel, who saw him as a formidable rival. In a fit of divine rage, Kêdêmel cursed Alæl twice, first transforming him into Pæn, a shadow of his former self, and then into Jörcnir, a grotesque embodiment of the evil Kêdêmel believed him to possess.

As Jörcnir, caught between godhood and mortality, he recognized the gravity of his plight and prepared for a final confrontation with Kêdêmel. In an act of sacrifice and defiance, he chose to divide his essence among the races he had created-Jörcs, Goblins, and Trolls-imbuing them with fragments of his will. This monumental act not only shattered his existence but also unleashed a torrent of magical energy powerful enough to banish Kêdêmel into the astral plane, a realm of isolation far removed from the mortal world.

Over the generations, Jörcnir's fragmented will has slowly begun to work its way back to reconstitution, a phenomenon known as Jænaktër. This rejoining is prophesied to occur in times of dire need, when dark forces threaten to return and wreak havoc upon the world. As these malevolent wills claw their way back into existence, the potential return of Jörcnir looms ominously-a beacon of hope and a source of trepidation. Will his resurgence be viewed as a beacon of hope or a source of trepidation? Will it forever alter the balance between the divine and the mortal?
