Vordakai was a ruler of the ancient Casmaron Empire. A powerful wizard, he eventually ascended into lichdom but around the time of the fall of the empire he went into hibernation where he slept for centuries, rising only recently after someone intruded upon his lair. Vordakai unleashed the dread zombies cyclopes onto the Stolen Lands and also aroused the guardians of his lair. The leaders of Pohjola eventually faced him in combat and ultimately were able to defeat him, but only at a terrible cost.
