Editing Darklord (section)

==Eli Van Hassen==
Darklord of the Endless Road, and a creation of the 4th edition to replace the infamously-dubious Headless Horseman and his Winding Road domain. Eli, unlike the Horseman, has an actual known reason to be Darklord, with the Horseman being downgraded to part of Eli's curse. 

Eli was once a minor nobleman who ruled over a hamlet called Tranquility, despite having much grander ambitions. When his lands were ravaged by a hydra, a wandering horseman came by and slew the beast, being lauded as a hero. Eli was filled with envy as the huntsman received praise and admiration that he didn't, and his daughter falling in love with the man was the last straw. He forced the girl to claim that the Horseman had raped her, whipped the denizens of Tranquility into a frenzied mob, and executed the innocent man. Drawn to the Demiplane of Dread for this crime, Eli is now trapped on his estate, for the Headless Horseman, the spectre of the hero he murdered, wanders the road outside and will kill Eli if he ever steps beyond his estate's boundaries.
