Faulinei, the Shadowlord of Falsehood
Race: Demonic Wraith

Location: Where-ever Falsehood lurks, he may lie. But he is probably dead, at least for the moment
Alignment:Evil
Status: Discorporated
Bio:
Faulinei is one of 3 Demonic Wraiths known as the Shadowlords. Each Shadowlord is devoted to, arose out of, and is primarily constituted by the essence of one of the 3 Anti-Principles.
- Astaroth, the Shadowlord of Hatred.
- Faulinei, the Shadowlord of Falsehood.
- Nosfentor, the Shadowlord of Cowardice.
As indicated, Faulinei is the Shadowlord of Falsehood, the opposite of the Principle of Truth.
Along with the other two Shadowlords, Faulinei was the driving force behind a series of horrifying events that unfolded in the realm over a period of several years. Their attempts to enter our realm drove a Tokunoese woman named Inu to madness, corrupted the Moongates, led to the destruction of the City of Magincia, and led directly to their puppet Casca being installed on the Throne of Britannia.
Faulinei's presence in the realm was felt less directly in our realm than the others. Such is the nature of Falsehood; it seeks to hide its presence, or it wouldn't be Falsehood at all but rather a perverse form of Honesty, just in reverse. One great exception to Faulinei's lack of direct presence in our realm relative to other two is that the false King Casca appears to have been Faulinei's own play toy and puppet.
Some stories hold that the Shadowlords were created by the shattering of the Gem of Mondain. (This is hinted at in Sherry the Mouse's book "My Story.") Some stories hold that their origins are more particular, and more human. Specifically, it is sometimes said that the three wraiths emerged from what is commonly called a "love triangle" that proved to be particularly vicious and ended in particular horror (as such matters are often wont to end). It is also sometimes said that they conquered many-a-world before we proved to be a tad much for them to handle successfully.
It is also clear that, whatever plane they hailed from, they were using the Ethereal Void in an attempt to gain entry into our world, and that their efforts were opposed by the Time Lord.
The Shadowlords are currently dead as near as anyone can tell, having met their end in a dungeon underneath the Fire Temple, within which they were seeking to recreate Mondain's Gem of Immortality. The forces that finally brought them down were personally led by Dawn, currently Queen of Britannia at the time of writing.
Sadly, the Shadowlords' place in Hell is more-than-assured. Their meddlings cost many lives, many souls, drained the treasury, destroyed cities, and created fissures between people that will never be fixed. Britannia will, I predict, never fully recover.
Some of their followers constitute a Faction on the Felucca facet, one of four constantly vying for control of that dead world.
