Telos

The Master of the Iron Sky, known as Telos in most tongues, was a sleeping primordial beneath Telos City in Vaasa during the 15th Century DR. He was the source of the Warlock Knights' power.

Description
Telos was comatose and immobile during the 15th Century DR. However, his dreams and unconscious thoughts were known by at least some members of the Warlock Knights.

Telos' body was made of ironfell, a magical metal-like substance which he would quickly regenerate if it was removed from him. This material was mined extensively by the Warlock Knights to make their weapons, armor, and distinctive rings.

History
Telos arrived on Toril when he fell to the tundra of Vaasa as a "shooting star" during the Spellplague. The impact created a crater that was a half mile wide and 800 feet deep, and he was left in a seemingly permanent catatonic state. The one who discovered him ended up adopting the title of the Voice of Telos, and founded the organization that would become the Warlock Knights. The Knights began to mine the primordial's body for ironfell and learned how to harness his power via a star pact. In 1460 DR, the Warlock Knights used Telos' power to begin a war of conquest across Vaasa, and ultimately seized control of the realm by 1470 DR.

At some point in the 15th Century DR, Telos City was constructed in the primordial's impact crater with the Citadel of the Iron Sky built directly over his body. This city became the capital of Vaasa, the headquarters of the Warlock Knights, the home of the Voice of Telos, and the center for a growing religious-like veneration of the primordial.

Worshipers
Under the Warlock Knights, veneration of Telos was practiced in Vaasa, and this was the only permissible faith in Telos City. Services were held in the Citadel of the Iron Sky, and a priest-like sect of warlocks called Luminaries, led by the Voice of Telos, presided over the faith and maintained Telosian temples and shrines across the realm.

Despite this veneration, the Warlock Knights' relationship with Telos was decidedly more parasitic than pious. Aside from the practice of harvesting ironfell from his body, the pact that the Knights formed with Telos was simply a means to siphon the primordial's power to wield for their own. By 1479 DR, a rift had begun to form among the Knights between those led by the Voice of Telos, who wished to heed the will of Telos as understood through the primordial's dreams, and those led by Knight-Vindicator Mansard Kanaoth, who wished to use the primordial solely as a tool.

It was not unheard of for Warlock Knights to worship Bane in addition to or instead of Telos.
