Hordaks

Hordaks are fictional beings from the DreamHack franchise, a series of fantasy novels by Daniel Abraham and Greg van Eekhout. They are among the most powerful beings in the world of Hominum, a land inhabited by humans, demigods, and other supernatural creatures.

Hordaks are massive, anthropomorphic beings that originate from the depths of the underworld. They are slow-moving, lumbering creatures that feed on the thoughts and memories of those they encounter. They can imbue those with whom they interact with powerful magical abilities, but at a terrible cost: the loss of their memories and identities.

Hordaks are feared and reviled by the inhabitants of Hominum, who view them as monstrous abominations. Despite their formidable strength and magical abilities, Hordaks remain stealthy and elusive, preferring to operate in the shadows and strike fear into the hearts of those who dare oppose them.

According to the lore of Hominum, Hordaks were once considered benevolent beings who offered gifts of magical power to those they deemed worthy. However, their gradual descent into chaos and destruction led to their transformation into the monstrous creations they are now known as.

Throughout the DreamHack novels, Hordaks are portrayed as formidable antagonists, posing a significant threat to the stability of Hominum and the very fabric of reality. Their enigmatic nature and sinister abilities make them a compelling and complex element of the DreamHack universe.
