Nolimarthos, Keeper of the Unmaking Song, was a demon lord who was slain by the Arcadian hero-god Yllaldo the Manifester.

History

Yllaldo was among the most powerful hero-gods of Xopatl, and he often ventured far from his homeland to battle threats to it. When he sensed that Nolimarthos threatened Xopatl, Yllaldo traveled to the Outer Rifts and slayed the demon lord in what would become known as his greatest battle.

While dying, Nolimarthos roared a single note from his namesake song that continued to reverberate postmortem from his jawbone and threatened to wreak destruction across the Great Beyond if not stopped. Yllaldo took Nolimarthos's jawbone back to his fellow hero-gods in Xopatl to destroy it, but the note was too strong. They instead decided to seal the jawbone away in a keep, later known as Yllaldo Castle, and wait for the note's power to weaken.

Recent events

At some point ca. 4722 AR, a bulette attack collapsed one of the sealed chamber's walls and exposed the unmaking note of Nolimarthos' jawbone to the world, degrading the magical wards that secured it and empowering those who lived near the keep, with some dying from their inability to control these supernatural forces. This led to the Order activating a beacon to signal for aid from the Dark Archive of the Pathfinder Society.
