Jal-Nish Hlar was a former perquisitor and scrutator. He was the husband of Ranii Mhel and the father of Dar-Nish, Mun-Mun, Vigg-Nish, Hisly and most famously Cryl-Nish Hlar. He was hideously maimed in a battle with a lyrinx and eternally hated Irisis Stirm for saving the life he no longer wanted, afterwards. At the end of the Lyrinx War, Jal-Nish revealed himself, taking control of Santhenar at the moment of the destruction of all the nodes and declared himself its God-Emperor. However, after a brutal reign of ten years, Jal-Nish was destroyed along with the tears.
