Ayrzul, the Fossilized King

The mysterious creature known as Ayrzul, or the Fossilized King, rules the realm known as the Blistering Labyrinth on the Elemental Plane of Earth. He has never been seen outside his realm, giving rise to speculation that he is somehow bound to the region. He is often attributed with demigod-like powers. His origin is unknown. Some believe he is a powerful earth elemental, but other rumours claim he is a shaitan wizard, an undead crystal dragon, or even a fragment of the dead god Ydersius. In truth, he is one of the four powerful beings collectively known as the Elemental lords.

Ayrzul shows little interest in the politics of the Plane of Earth; he is seemingly content with maintaining the status quo. Instead, he concentrates his efforts against the Plane of Fire and his hated rival, Ymeri the Queen of the Inferno.

Ayrzul considers the Xiomorn to be his favoured children, and they in turn see him as their patron, if not their god.
