Edon was once the ruler of Orlyn, until he was deposed in a coup. He was the leader of the pantheon of self-made “deities”, who used a form of sorcery drawn from dominion marked items to empower themselves.

Magic

Abilities

Edon's magic was stolen from him making him fully incapable of using dominion sorcery. He manages to use magic by connecting himself to dominion marked items and reverse engineering the phrase his spell gave him when his magic was severed.

Enchanting

Edon knows about enchanting from his apprenticeship with Blake Hartigan.

Dominion Marking

Dominion marking is a rare type of enchanting on Mythralis. Dominion marks can connect things to dominions.

Artifact Sorcery

After Dononvan's sorcery was taken from him, he began to experiment with connecting himself to dominion marked items. This alone was not enough for Dononvan, who managed to reverse engineer the 'Eru' phrase from his magic's theft to produce a number of different phrases which invoke his dominion marked items in various ways. He used this power to masquerade as a god.

Item	Function
Heartlance	The Heartlance is an artifact lance that can apply a haste effect to the wielder. Even without having the Heartlance on him, Edon can siphon off energy from its haste function because of his artifact mark connecting him to the effect. The phrase "Eru elan lav kor taris" produces a powerful shockwave that launches people nearby around for a dozen yards.
Hartigan’s Star Prototype 17	Hartigan's Star Prototype 17 is a dominion marked ring created by Blake Hartigan which was given to Donovan. The ring pulls essence from the Dominion of Flame and allows the user to use flame sorcery. The phrase "Eru volar shen taris" ceates blue-white flames from the Hartigan's Star prototype. When Lydia used this chant with the same ring it was enough to threaten the Vae'kes Sterling.
Myros' Armour	Myros' armour was dominion marked with a number of enchantments including durability and teleportation. Edon has linked himself to the teleportation function and can teleport the armour and whoever is wearing it away. The phrase "Eru volar proter taris" reinforces the body considerably or creates phantasmal armour. Edon never used this phrase but the phrase was found in his notes.

Eru Phrases

Edon also has some 'Eru' phrases for artifacts that have not been seen.

Eru volis mar sharu taris

'Eru volis mar sharu taris' is a counter sorcery ability on a huge scale. This phrase removed all sorcerous effects over a huge area.

Eru volar esu raval taris

'Eru volar esu raval taris' is a spell that removed Lydia's invisibility and barrier. Some kind of anti-magic ability.

Tesh molain sol ko Eru ravel lares taris

'Tesh molain sol ko Eru ravel lares taris' is a phrase Edon has written down in his notes.

Eru len kor vesu et taris

'Eru len kor vesu et taris' is another phrase from Edon's research notes.

Eru ravel lares taris

'Eru ravel lares taris' is the phrase Edon received when his sorcery was stolen. He worked out the rest of the 'Eru' phrases from this.

Rethri Bonding

Edon experimented for years with Rethri and uvar people. He spent a long time working on breaking and remaking Rethri dominion bonds. Edon wanted to swap which dominions Rethri were bonded to. This was done so that he could restore the uvar, crippled Rethri with no functioning dominion bonds, and heal them.

However, Edon also came up with a theoretical use for the uvar: essence batteries. He would link the uvar to a dominion and then link the uvar to himself. He would keep the uvar is stasis until he needed power and then he would rip power through the uvar as needed. Edon claims that he would have used the uvar batteries as sources of dominion essence so that he could make dominion bonded items to heal the other uvar.
