Vharun the Fallen Warden
Zone 1 boss - a corrupted guardian spirit commanding fire and volcanic forces in Dreadmar Frontier.
"The Frontier was once a garden. Vharun protected it for ten thousand years. Now it is ash and flame, and he is its executioner."
- War Council Briefing
Vharun is the first Dominion General, ruler of Dreadmar Frontier. Once a guardian spirit who protected the land for millennia, he was corrupted by the Anguish Stone-his consciousness emptied, leaving only instinct without purpose.
| Attribute | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Zone | Dreadmar Frontier | Volcanic wasteland of jagged stone and molten rivers |
| Type | Dominion Boss (Raid) | Corrupted Spirit - requires raid party |
| Damage | Physical | Volcanic slam attacks and melee strikes |
| Defenses | High Phys / Medium Magic | Tanky but vulnerable to casters |
Origin
Vharun was a guardian spirit-one of the First World entities that protected natural places before the gods walked the earth. For ten thousand years, he maintained what was then called the Garden Frontier, nurturing life and repelling threats.
When Alassa's forces arrived, Vharun stood against them alone. The Anguish Stone's power overwhelmed him-not destroying his consciousness, but emptying it. What remains is instinct without purpose, duty without meaning. He protects the Frontier still, but now "protection" means destroying all who enter.
Note
Unlike other generals who were created evil or chose corruption, Vharun was violated. Some believe that truly defeating him means not just killing his corrupted form, but freeing whatever remains of the guardian within.
