'''Malis''', once known as ''' | '''Malis''', once known as '''Elidrî'el''', is the first and greatest of the [[Elesîa Tribe]] to rebel against the [[Meera|Mother]] and [[Merrik|Father]]. Originally a spirit chosen for great knowledge, he became corrupted by his pride and desire to force divine equality upon all.

Elidrî'el spent eons within the [[Hall of Infinite Knowledge]] and came to believe that the [[Meera|Mother]] and [[Merrik|Father]] were withholding divinity from their children. He became obsessed with the forbidden [[Book of Evil]], which he read in secret. Though the knowledge did not inherently corrupt him, his perception of injustice and desire for power warped his soul. | |||

The [[Meera|Mother]] warned him of the consequences. When the Mortal Plane was being prepared, Elidrî'el seized the Book and rallied trillions of spirits to his side. A celestial war ensued. [[Lethurîa]] himself intervened and cast Elidrî'el and his followers into the prison plane of [[Gozog'nok]], sealing Elidrî'el in unbreakable shackles. From then on, Elidrî'el was called '''Malis''', which means “Evil.” | ||

Malis told them that if they waged war and harvested enough [[Vital Essence]], he could free himself. The [[Sebuuk]] obeyed, unleashing chaos and butchery across the galaxies.
