The Na-Vakhti, or "Overlords", are the first true children of Khyber, who emerged from Khyber millions of years ago. These spirits, also called the rakshasa rajahs, ruled over the lesser fiends during the Age of Demons. However, the children of Siberys and Eberron, the dragons and the couatl, joined forces to rid the world of the Overlords and their fiends. The couatls gave their lives to form the Silver Flame and trap the Overlords deep beneath Khyber, where they still sleep today, insensate but still able to influence the world around their prisons.
Each of the Na-Vakhti are unique, embodying a particular concept. They are most often malicious concepts, and the strength of the Overlord waxes and wanes based on the concept they embody and its prevalence in the world.
Known Overlords
- Ashurak, the Slow Death, holds dominion over disease and infection.
- Bel Shalor, the Shadow in the Flame holds dominion over moral corruption. Bel Shalor is bound within the pillar of argent fire in Flamekeep.
- The Daughter of Khyber, who embodies the arrogance of dragons and their desire to lord over weaker beings. It is often said that saying the name of an immortal brings their attention to you, and so the dragons made sure her name was forgotten.
- Dral Khatur, the Heart of Winter, holds dominion over the cold and isolation, the fear that we will die alone and nobody will come to save us. Possibly bound in the Frostfell.
- Eldrantulku, the Oathbreaker, holds dominion over betrayal. Has some overlap with Bel Shalor, but Bel Shalor specifically embodies somebody betraying their own principles, whilst Eldrantulku is focused on betrayal of others, and pre-existing arrangements.
- Kan Paralesh, the Tempest of Ruin, who holds dominion over the weather, and the fear of unpredictability.
- Katashka, the Gatekeeper, who holds dominion over life and death. It is not known where it is bound, but a group of dragons fought it in the Harvest of Pain in Argonessen.
