Yealek-Vor was a kalavakus demon who dwelled in the ancient Sky Citadel of Jormurdun, where he led a population of hryngars1 in the search for dwarven artifacts while the Worldwound was still open.2 He briefly acquired the Sky Key but was defeated by Pathfinders who had also discovered Jormurdun in 4714 AR.34

History

Yealek-Vor entered Golarion in the hopes of increasing the prestige and influence of his demonic patroness across the Worldwound. He first joined the armies of Deskari as a mercenary, and while serving there discovered a masonry fragment in a destroyed temple of Torag which revealed that the long-forgotten Sky Citadel of Jormurdun might be located nearby. After destroying the stone to keep its secret safe, Yealek-Vor abandoned the war and searched for the lost dwarven city-fortress, which he discovered in 4689 AR.25

The horned demon continued his search for ancient dwarven artifacts within the Sky Citadel, whose powers he hoped to parlay into greater fame and recognition for Shivaska. He and his hryngar minions worked in secret to avoid revealing themselves until they successfully retrieved the artifacts from Jormurdun's depths.2

In 4714 AR, a Pathfinder Society expedition invaded Jormurdun, confronted Yealek-Vor and his minions, and defeated him.4
