A name given when those around him anticipated his coming to rule,
to bring dawn to a landscape around which was filled with hatred
and darkness. And that was what he was, for a little while. As he grew
into a strong and hardy colt, he took a taste for the deeper, darker magicks
and interrupted his teachers with questions of disconcerting topics. Knowing
they couldn't speak ill of the king's son, the teachers minded him carefully
and answered as plainly as possible without filling the boy's head with intrigue.
This pushed his further from the light, until he could no longer be brought back
from his interests and he left on his own to find the meaning of the Abyss..✧✧

Amidst the counsel of elders,
where communications with the gods took place, Grimdawn
was called forth to bear the blessings from Exesthriel, god of
the oceans. It was routine for a pony of the land to take this
blessing, to keep those on land from polluting the ocean
Exesthriel watched over. With the blue light shining over him,
Grimdawn spat upon the ground, a grimacing smile across his
face. "I decline his blessing. There will only be one blessing good
enough for me, and it is not his.." Stunned silence followed
this statement, before loud shouts and screams were directed
at Grimdawn. "Oathbreaker! You disrespect the gods in their
very presence? You will be punished! You have broken the promise
of old, your words! Your birthright!"
"And words mean nothing to the void."▬✧✧✧▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Grimdawn was chased from the kingdom,
scorning his princely status and run straight into the Werwild.
There he found no solace from the wildlings, constantly tormented
by their hunting packs and frightful calls. He thought frequently
of the comfort of his palace-home, the walls of the library he
frequented so much, and the Lunar Librarian who used to tell
him the stories of the Abyssal creatures which lured him so much.
Wandering, weeping, moaning for days and nights on end as his hooves
grew wearied and his body ached from running frequently from the
residents of the Werwild. He ran straight into the arms of Acantha,
who welcomed him warmly to the End's Grove, which would soon become
his home. There, he found what he had been seeking for the past ten years
of his youth, a connection to the void. He stepped forth into the endless
black pool that is sunken into End's Grove, and drowned within the Abyss
the Void made in the Werwild. While he was not driven mad, he was already
beyond saving when he gained the Void's curse, giving him the power he craved
and no limit to save those around him.▬▬▬▬✧✧✧▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
has left Grimdawn a hardened, wrathful spirit. His time in direct contact with the Void and Acantha has done little to change this fact, but instead, had worsened his behavior and attitude. He has grown incredibly jealous of Acantha because she did not seek out the Void, it came to her, and blessed her for "no reason at all" in his mind. And despite seeing his following grow around him, he seethes towards them and their loyalty to the "horned god" he calls himself. The love he saw shine in his wife's when his son was born never warmed his heart, but rather, made his envy grow in an extraordinary crescendo, because his son embodied the void, and he could never compare.

Oathbreaker, after 200-odd years of tormenting the Werwilds with his
abyssal magic, has seemingly fallen dormant. Very little communication comes from
him as he is submerged in the black pool of the void. The last glimpses anyone
had seen from him were by Brén and Melusina, the night Divine's Death
was speared. Divine's Death being Oathbreaker's only son with the pirate
siren-maiden, Captain Catalina. Divine was a lancer, a non-magical Unicorn
who had disgraced his father from his very childhood. After stealing Divine
from Catalina after he turned six, Oathbreaker was determined to sacrifice his
child to the Void in hopes of gaining a better heir. But along this way, Oathbreaker
had forgotten something that Catalina knew--The void is not the absence of nothing,
it the the darkness that dwells within the deepest oceans and in the dead of
night. With Divine being quarter merpony, the Void leeched into him because of his
oceanic heritage, and gave the boy the blessings that his father had sought for over
two hundred years. In jealousy, rage, and utter sickness, Oathbreaker lead Divine's
Death to a frozen lake, and intended to finish him. This was not to be so, as Oathbreaker
would later learn, once the Void touches something, it can never die.
