A horrible scream pierced my ears followed by a vision of a horrible creature staring at me, its black tendrils flowing down its body like ribbons and its multiple emerald shaped eyes drilling straight into my consciousness. I awoke to the subject's body on the floor, eyes splattered to the nearby wall. There was no time to apply amnesiacs to those who may of known the Subject. Whatever the creature was that I had witnessed, it now knew I was here. | „ |

Zi'eer, better known as the Lord Regent, is one of the overarching antagonists of the Roblox game Deepwoken.
The current interim ruler of the Kingdom of Etrea, the Lord Regent came to power during a coup against Lord Guardian Ji'ang, the former acting regent; storming the palace alongside his loyal guards reshaped into Shoguns. With this brutal siege, he was able to kill him, allowing himself to seize the throne. In reality, he is one of the Nine Ministry Prophets, and seeks to use Etrea to cause a war that will allow him to cause a Great Drowning to rival the drowning of Celtor.
Biography[]
Past[]
At some point in time, the creature that would be known as the Lord Regent rose to become the fourth strongest of the Nine Ministry Prophets, as well as one of their specialists, a Contractor. Seeking to cause a Great Drowning to aid the prophets in their quest to obtain godhood, he appeared to great nation of Celtor, offering a generous hand during a time of need. The Celtor made him their leader, but their trust in him proved to be their downfall. Through unknown methods, he caused the largest Great Drowning in history, summoning the Celtorian Horror to drag the city to the Depths, causing the Tides to rise and begin to envelop the world, the Voidsea to expand, converting the Southern Luminant into an inhospitable wasteland, killing thousands and setting the entire world on a now-unavoidable path to destruction. This was all ultimately in vain, as none of the prophets became a Drowned God through this. As time went on, his fellow contractors died out, and he became the final Contractor.
Zi'eer would next set his sights on the Kingdom of Etrea. Though the King's fate is unclear, he nevertheless disappeared, clearing the way for Zi'eer to become the Lord Regent of Etrea. He installed mental veils in his people, warping their memories of him and making them adverse to divulging any information about him. He also shut down the Historical Records office, making sure he was the only history the Etreans would ever know.
During his time as Lord Regent, the Ministry uncovered an artifact from The Depths, taking the form of a throne. It was later moved to his palace in Etris.
Year 1271[]
Now the Lord Regent of Etrea, he took a particular interest in the Forge of Sin, an artifact made by the Drowned God Korilfiend, kept in the Temple of the Forgotten Flame. However, the Authority's presence and the Watcher guarding it made reaching it hard, and when his forces finally reached it, the Forge was already long gone. It was eventually traced to the former leader of the island, the Duke of Erisia. Though they obtained the key to his manor, with the Etrean footsoldiers too weak to take him on and the Lord Regent now bound to his throne in Etris, they were unable to take action.
As time went on, somehow, an aspiring Etrean Guard named Kennith's mental veil had likely malfunctioned, causing him to question where the Lord Regent had come from. Recruiting a local hero to help him discover why the Lord Regent's history was shrouded in mystery, they eventually discovered his closure of the Historical Records office. Kennith was then kidnapped, torn apart by the Lord Regent and his body nailed to a cliff face just outside Etris. The Lord Regent proceeded to recruit the local hero that had helped Kennith to retrieve the Forge of Sin by killing the Duke. However, after they did, he stated they were now no longer useful, sending multiple black tendrils into their body and rending them apart like he did Kennith.
With the world entering a new age with the Second Layer of the Depths now traversable, the Lord Regent began to rebuild the Contractors, recruiting those who had proven their worth and attaching strings to their soul. He then tasked these new operatives of his to travel to the Depths and murder anyone they came across, offering up their mutilated souls as sacrifices to the Deep.
Trivia[]
- Though the Contractor Oath description refers to him as Zi'eer, the game's flavour text only ever refers to him as the Lord Regent. In the recent Vow of Iron game mode however, he is referred to by his real name and title as Prophet just before his boss fight.
