Hotek's Column

An outcast priest of Vaul, Hotek was the jealous disciple of Caledor Dragontamer, and secretly forged weapons for the legions of Nagarythe during the Elven Civil War, using the magical Hammer of Vaul, which Caledor had used to make weapons for Aenarion. When he was discovered, Hotek fled and sought sanctuary within Nagarythe. Aided by renegade sorcerers, Hotek used the Hammer of Vaul to construct a suit of armour for the crippled Malekith. Hotek met his end when he was poisoned on the orders of Morathi.
