Iadoa

Chronomancer, teacher and Chaos Lord

Iadoa, the Hero’s chronomancer teacher, becomes a Chaos Lord and struggles to retain his will. Knowing he may one day attack the Hero, he uses his remaining freedom to teach them what they need against Drakath. He creates golems to act in his lessons and wishes them lives of their own. His affection for his student makes their eventual confrontation painful: Iadoa insists it must continue to protect the Hero, who does not want to kill him.

After he disappears, an earlier Iadoa speaks to the Hero from the Time Void, not yet fully corrupted.

Another Iadoa, a Hero of Balance from the Queen of Monsters’ first reign, says he is distinct from the Chaos Lord and the other versions the Hero has met.

In the Mirror Realm, his counterpart is a separate Lord of Order: he first asks the visiting Hero to repair the damage their arrival caused, then agrees to help against Malgor and offers them the Ring of Time.
