| — Ganonron, The Terror of a Thousand Planes |
Ganonron, The Terror of a Thousand Planes was a conjurer who teleported vast armies to conquer world after world.
He died and his soul was owned by Cedrik, the demonic director of the IFCC. His soul was offered[1] and was spliced[2] on to Vaarsuvius when they agreed to lease their soul to the IFCC in return for Ganonron's powers along with those of the other two souls who were spliced, Haerta Bloodsoak, and Jephton the Unholy.
Ganonron developed the epic spell, "Epic Teleport", which was used by V to teleport the whole Azurite fleet to a nice quiet island, where V spent some vacation when young.[3]
The Terror of a Thousand Planes again cast his Epic Teleport to allow V to get into Xykon's Tower[4], penetrating Cloister, the epic spell developed by Dorukan and cast by Xykon to prevent teleportation and scrying into Gobbotopia. It was also Ganonron who provided Time Stop, a ninth level spell which the spliced V used against both the Ancient Black Dragon and Xykon,[5][6] though in the latter case it fizzled due to the lich's traps.
Ganonron remained spliced to V until their concentration was broken in combat with Xykon just before they could teleport out.[7]. The fun lasted for 20 minutes 35 seconds, with V owing a reciprocal debt of time to Cedrik.[8]
Question of Persistence Across Worlds[]
The claim made by the IFCC that Ganonron conquered "world after world"[1] potentially took on new meaning in the context of the revelations by Thor to Durkon and Minrah regarding the destruction and creation of countless worlds in order to escape the Snarl.[9] It is unclear if Ganonron persisted across multiple iterations of divine destruction and creation in order to accomplish his feat of conquering multiple worlds, or if there are multiple worlds (or multiple prime material planes) within a each iteration of creation by the gods. The IFCC, as non-divine outsiders would have their minds wiped after each iteration[10] which suggests that if it were the case that Ganonron persisted across iterations of creation, they wouldn't know about it to tell Vaarsuvius.
