Sinthrall

Sinthrall is the Forgotten God of passion, lust, beauty, and emotion. He is portrayed inconsistently as either male or female -- it is believed he may take either form. He is often portrayed with wings, and sometimes with a feline tail. He is sometimes called the "Third" Lord of Hate and is perceived as the most junior of the Forgotten Gods.

Mount Sinthrall is also the northernmost volcano in Haelfaun. The god Sinthrall is bound here, hence the volcano takes his name. The volcano's ancient Cayrien name is Sarion. At the beginning of the series, the volcano is dormant, but it becomes active during Book 1, as the god Sinthrall returns to Landfall. At the end of Book 1, Mikoa destroys the entire volcano, leaving a gaping crater which continues to smolder until the end of Book 8, when Sinthrall is finally vanquished.

The ga'arg call Sinthrall Flethloth, which very roughly translates to the idea of "instinct" or "heart."

In the grim dream, Sinthrall takes the form of a fragile red glass rose. In the flesh, Aera's red glass dagger strongly channels his power.

Vassal: Prince Fox Hohenzorn of Bahd'Aireal becomes Sinthrall's vassal in Landfall. Sinthrall grants Fox godlike powers of persuasion, charm, influence, seduction, and illusion. Through Sinthrall's power, those who look upon Fox see what they want to see -- regardless of his actual appearance.

Agenda: Sinthrall believes that Mikoa can be persuaded to join the forces of Hate, and he tries to imbue Mikoa as a vassal. Without Fox's knowledge, Sinthrall directs him to seduce and influence her.

Aside from his heavy focus on Mikoa, Sinthrall generally assists the other Forgotten Gods in their "game" against the man-kin.

Ghuul: Ga'arg who pledge to Sinthrall become vul'ghuul. The most recognizable vul'ghuul are wraeths, kinnar (bird-people), and miri-miri (monkey-bats).

Vultures, peregrines, and black widow spiders are also said to be servants of Sinthrall.
