Eternian Icons for 13th Age

Watching He-man & the Masters of the Universe: Revelations this past week got me thinking about how the MOTU mythos has got some good candidates for 13th Age style icons. Here's a sampling:

Earl Norem

DARK WARLORD

The dread general of the vast, world-conquering armies of the Horde whose dominion spans universes. He is a figure of legend who employs terror to first breaking the collective spirit of a world before employing the powerful magic and technology to subjugate it.

Gerald Parel

SORCERESS

Guardian of the secrets of Castle Grayskull which was once in ancient times the Hall of Wisdom, a repository of incalculable knowledge, but also a conduit of cosmic power. The Sorceress' unrivalled magic protects these secrets from the wider world--and the wider world from the secrets. 

ELDER DRAGON

Second oldest living thing on the planet of Eternia, the Elder Dragon rules over the rest of his kind from forbidden Darksmoke. He takes a dim view of humanity, being well-aware of their failings, but may be moved to employ his magic and knowledge in their cause, if supplicants pass the tests he puts before them.

Alvin Lee

SERPENT KING

Once this world bowed to the many-headed Snake God and was ruled by his chosen people. The Serpent King was both Eternia's ruler and the Snake God's high priest. When mammalian humanity rebelled, he was imprisoned outside the world with his god. Still, his presence can be felt. His followers keep the faith in secret. The Serpent King works tireless to return and again ascend the throne.

FOREST LORD

Though believed by many city-dwellers to be nothing more than a legend, the Forest Lord is in fact the living avatar of the natural world, a green god that moves silently through the great forest. His followers are most aggressive against the forces of destruction who would despoil nature but have no love for the encroachment of civilization, whatever its form.
