Zaul'Nazh

Zaul'Nazh is the Lord of Shadows, whose flaming maw sits atop the highest spire of the Bloodkeep, bending his ceaseless will to the unmaking of the world BK E1·00:00:52. Brennan says Gogmoth, the original God of Evil, created him BK E1·00:46:39. Maggie says she is his girlfriend BK E1·00:46:44. She says that since he was crushed into a mouth he is a giant flaming mouth, and her handmaiden Sistra recalls that a half elf named Lyssandra smashed his head with her mace BK E1·00:47:55 BK E1·00:48:16.

Zaul'Nazh is the Lord of Shadows, a giant flaming mouth on the throne of the Bloodkeep, and the boyfriend of Maggie BK E1·00:00:52 BK E1·00:47:55 BK E1·01:25:50. A vision shows him as a younger Iru spirit at a fountain of blood, and a second one shows him young at the Scary Volcano forging the crown BK E1·00:11:41 BK E1·01:57:41. In the throne room he greets his most trusted advisors, says that when his crown is returned his full strength will be his, and promises Caer Blythwin to Efink BK E1·01:26:33 BK E1·01:29:51. He breaks off in the middle of a sentence, the fire explodes, the throne falls to cinders, and the Bloodkeep's enchantments begin to fade BK E1·01:30:46 BK E1·01:31:45.

Brennan says his crown has been unmade and that Zaul'Nazh is no more, though the group saw him appear in the lands beyond, in the nightmare realms BK E3·00:11:10. In a vision he sits hunched in a chair across a table from Gogmoth, with a little thing of tissues beside him BK E3·00:45:59. When Maggie tells Gogmoth she is pregnant, Gogmoth kicks him in the chest BK E3·00:48:37. In Efink's vision of his past, a young Zaul'nazh weeps at a fountain of blood, says he is alone and has been made leader, and trades his own soul to the boatman for a gleaming crown BK E5·00:54:09 BK E5·00:56:31 BK E5·00:57:29. Brennan says the crown does not hold his soul, which is in the lands beyond being punched and kicked by Gogmoth still BK E5·00:58:07. In later visions he talks of his marriage to Maggie and of Leiland and the other Vinguri BK E5·01:37:34 BK E5·01:38:07. Maggie reacts to the vision by calling him a pig BK E5·01:39:21. A card calls Maggie's baby the seed of Maggie and Zaul'Nazh, and in the end a new Lord of Shadows reigns BK E5·01:06:33 BK E6·02:43:14.
