Dolos (pronounced DOLE-os) is the frost giant king of Valando, a small city along the Asterian Trail. Dolos took the throne of the city over one hundred years ago after mustering an army of fellow giants, laying siege to the city walls, and declaring he would destroy the entire community if control was not relinquished to him. The former ruler of Valando complied, and Dolos has ruled the city ever since.
Dolos is perfectly content for settlers heading north from Hellea to visit his city, though he has instructed the merchants of the city to charge exorbitant prices for supplies. The merchants are then in turn taxed heavily, with all proceeds delivered to the royal coffers. Dolos is personally very wealthy, something he flaunts openly in the gaudy throne room of his well-defended castle.
