[Continuing the theme of my Epic
Fantasy, ‘The Daighacaer’ ("Day-gar-care"); Book I, Escape From
Mount Vilipend]
The first character to be introduced
in Escape from Mount Vilipend is Caliginor, the Darkenighte for The
Darke in the Realm of Faeré.
Derivative: The name Caliginor (“cālīginor”) is derived
from the archaic word ‘caliginous’ which means ‘devoid of or deficient in light
or brightness; shadowed or black; mistiness, darkness, fog, gloom’. [Origin:
1540–50; < Latin cālīginōsus misty, equivalent to cālīgin- (stem
of cālīgō)]
Description: Caliginor is essentially an archetype for evil and
malevolence who believes himself to be above everyone and everything, including
The Darke itself.
The arrogance and depravity of
Caliginor knows no bounds and, as one of my focus group readers said “Caliginor
is so totally disgusting and what he does is so beyond anything I thought
possible that, although I was completely spellbound, all I wanted to do when he
was with Delenar in the UnderChambers was to climb into the book and physically
take him out myself”.
Caliginor has no redeeming
qualities.
