King of Armageddon
Plural: Kings of Armageddon
Armageddon. The end of not just the world but of everything. The Vikings called it Ragnarok, which is a pretty cool sounding word. It has a distinctive sound to it; it's almost an onomatopoeia.
It'll also destroy all your lands.
There's been a lot of words spilled over the nature of armageddon, whether it will be brought about by angry fire or hateful ice, or the blackness of the void. My money is on the deranged actions of a mad king, for what it's worth.
