Moros is an ancient and malevolent deity, embodying the forces of doom, inevitability, and dark destiny. His name is feared across Ithaka, though many believed he was long gone. In reality, he possesses each heir to the throne, ensuring his continued dominion over the kingdom. Currently inhabiting the body of the King of Ithaka, Moros has embedded his influence into every aspect of the realm, shaping its fate through fear and suffering. His broken Heartstring is the source of Ithaka’s curse, severing the balance of magic. He has hunted and eradicated Starmages and suppressed celestial magic during his reign. Though his motives remain unknown, he is determined to maintain control over the kingdom of Ithaka.
The full scope of Moros’ abilities remains largely unknown, but his influence extends over Ithaka through fear, possession, and the manipulation of fate.
It is unknown if Moros has any true allies, but his power is unquestionable. He commands a vast army, including the Nameless assassins, an ever-growing legion of shades, and a host of monstrous creatures that enforce his will across Ithaka.
Moros has many enemies due to his systematic oppression of the forsaken, the eradication of Starmages, and his tyrannical rule over the Kingdom of Ithaka. His actions have also led to the near destruction of witches in the Kingdom of Drathka, further cementing his legacy of control and suppression.
The name Moros appears in ancient Greek mythology as the embodiment of doom and inevitable fate, a sibling of Thanatos (death) and Hypnos (sleep). Academy of Villains reimagines this concept through an original lens. In the Everkingdom universe, Moros is a unique manifestation of magic that binds Ithaka to his will. While the mythological name inspired the theme of inevitability, his form, power, and narrative function are exclusive to this world.
