Hors Gol'Daness

Hors Gol'Daness (Gol'Daness High Masalwawan, lit. Great Bearer of Daniss' Blood), also known as Emperor Hors Daness I of the Danessian Empire, is a legendary divine figure integral to Denist faith and history.

The son of Daniss who fought against him during the chaotic age of time unbound, accusing him of being a false god. Hors created the mighty Danessian Empire and protected humanity, who worshiped and glorified his father with a misunderstood version of Denism (A sect now called Chaos Denism). They slew elves and Denists who believed in Masalwawas, which they believed to be demons and from the hell of the unfaithful.

Hors Gol'daness wielded the powerful Shinead Domina (High Masalwawan, Condemnation of the Fallen/False), a dark mirror of the Sacred Implement Anima Dannish (High Masalwawan, Soul alike/like that of Daniss) which he used to destroy any force that threatened the Danessian Empire.

Hors slew his half-brother Ganguinug in the final battle for Basoolum during the War of the Denists, before facing down his father in an epic battle. The actual result of that battle is unknown, and many legends and myths posit different events.

Eventually, however, the Denist faith was amended and the belief in Masalwawas and elves was reinstated as a major doctrine. Basoolum is now the global capital of the Denist faithful, overshadowing even the holy city of Gulbarretor in terms of religious significance.
