Erethdor is the elf possessing Solak. He is encountered during the third phase when Merethiel sends the players to Solak's mind.

Erethdor attacks with ranged abilities, has 500,000 lifepoints in group mode and 250,000 lifepoints in duo mode, and players cannot use food to heal themselves while they battle him within Solak's mind. Erethdor will also force players out of Solak's mind after a set period of time. If Erethdor's lifepoints are brought to zero, the next phase automatically begins. Otherwise, all eight green circles summoned by Merethiel around the arena will need to be filled with corruption.

History

Erethdor was an elite elven warrior sent by Seren to aid Solak, along with Merethiel, Faerdhinen, and Saeldor. Merethiel describes him as distant, rarely showing his true feelings and having an insatiable desire for power and knowledge. They eventually stole a grimoire from the grand library of Prifddinas, which told of a form of magic that Merethiel claims was extremely destructive, yet calm. As Erethdor learned more of and used the magic, he became ever more power hungry, rarely interacting with his siblings and spending virtually all of his time scouring new scrolls. Merethiel later stole the grimoire hoping to learn about what Erethdor was doing, but crucial pages of it had been torn out. He eventually learned of the heart of the tree in the Lost Grove, which Solak guarded, and became set on taking its power for himself. He attacked Solak with powerful blight magic, but ultimately was defeated by the joint effort of Solak and his siblings. Over time however, Erethdor's influence began corrupting Solak, prompting the guardian to seal off the Grove to protect Gielinor. He eventually gained complete control over Solak and became a serious threat to the world after the Lost Grove reappeared. However Merethiel, the World Guardian and their allies manage to fight off his hold over Solak and finally destroy him once and for all.
