The '''Lords of Norn''', or simply the '''Lords''', are nineteen extremely powerful creatures that warred over the [[Isle of Norn]] until the year 0 AL, when the humanoids of [[Seyv]], [[Briskain]], and [[Commoil]] invaded. Thirteen of these creatures were killed by these humanoids, one ([[Soz'kir the All-Scorcher]]) was killed by [[Xarzad the Damned]] six months before the invasion, and the remaining five retreated somehow, possibly moving to extraplanar locations.

When a Lord is killed by a humanoid, a vestige of the Lord's power takes root in the consciousness of the one who dealt the killing blow to it. One who possesses this vestige of power is called a [[Champion]], and the power of a Champion is also transferable between humanoids.

While there were nineteen Lords, the existence of only thirteen of these Lords are known to the general populace of humanoids.

== List of Lords ==

There are nineteen Lords, each one corresponding to a creature type and plane. Since only 13 Lords are well-known in Norn, there are 13 months in the Nornian calendar, each named after a Lord.<ref>In an ordering sometimes called the Lordering.</ref>

== History ==

When humanoids first arrived on Norn, the Lords were already present. Historians have attempted to determine the exact date that the Lords arrived on Norn through interviews with the consciousnesses present in Champions, although results remain inconclusive.

Six months before the humanoid invasion, Xarzad the Damned invaded the territory of Soz'kir the All-Scorcher, disguising himself as one of Soz'kir's lieutenants. He killed Soz'kir, making it so that her consciousness could not root itself in a humanoid.

In the year 0 AL, the humanoids of Commoil, Seyv, and Briskain stormed the western shores of Norn with the goal of eliminating all the Lords, thus beginning the war against the Lords. [[Kellen Felbrigg]], the first person to slay a Lord, dealt the killing blow to [[Grulzrarrenth the Incandescent]] and is said to have belched fire atop the glimmering corpse of the dragon. He was the first Champion.

== Theories regarding origin ==

There are several theories regarding the origin of the Lords and the reason they all gathered on Norn. The most common theory among scholars posits that each Lord was a sort of naturally occurring 'apex' of each respective type of creature, although this does not necessarily explain why the Lords gathered on Norn specifically.

Another theory is that the Lords are extraplanar in origin and merely arrived on the Material Plane in Norn for some reason. Some scholars believe the Lords were artificially created by some other entity, although this raises additional questions regarding who the hypothetical "Lord-creator" is and where they are now. The so-called "megafauna" explanation theorizes that at some point in the distant past ''all'' creatures were similar to the creatures we call Lords, but only the strongest single specimens survived to the present-day as Lords.

Other scholars believe that no one theory can explain the origins of all the Lords -- the constructed existence of [[Temetul the Inconstant]], for example, implies that something created the first beetle, but [[Egraki the Mad]] could be reasoned to be the result of an extremely long evolutionary period in the harsh environment of Norn.

== Lords in popular culture ==

The imagery and history of the Lords have become deeply embedded in Nornian popular culture, partially due to the influence of the Champion Challenge as mass media. Merchandise featuring Lords is readily available, although the popularity of each lord has varied over time, and it is sometimes debated whether the practice of selling Lord-themed merchandise is disrespectful of the tragedy of the war against the Lords.

Some examples of the Lords in popular culture include:

* The [[Lord War 13]] animated television series
* [[Voblat the Rotten]] skull statues available in many [[Mas'o Leem]] souvenir shoppes

The island is surrounded by the ocean, the [[Domain of Man]].

In ancient times, Norn was inhabited by creatures from all twenty planes of existence. The [[Custodian]] opened the [[Gash|Gashes]] to all other nineteen planes, drawing in the [[Lord|Lords]].
