The God King is so incredibly powerful because his power isn't split and the entire Eternal Race are his chosen "godwoken" (voidwoken), whereas the Seven Gods chose an avatar of their powers, Lucian, who intentionally sought to destroy them. So the God King ends up becoming a solo Void-god as opposed to the Source Gods 7 way split. You learn ALL about this by eating a ton of void-tainted fish as an elf. Because the void is basically just a super powerful force just like Source is a super powerful force, the Eternal King became extremely powerful. A HUGE part of knowing Source is understanding Void. It's the dark to the light, I believe? We learn this when we learn source mastery from Mordus. Void magic is the opposite of Source magic. While in the void for eternities, the Eternals actually began to tap in to the powers of it. What it means to be a god is to be a Lion in a world of lambs." So they banished the entirety of their race to the Void to make way for their new world of primitive Source collecting lifeforms. This is because they became source vampires, I think? Which made them extremely thirsty for power. They broke the veil and harvested its power, then when they all became unstoppable gods, they betrayed their entire race. The Seven Lords decided to usurp the Eternal King using the power of the Source Veil. Fane ended up revealing this information to not just him, but the Seven Lords. Once he'd discovered that and revealed it, the Eternal King's power was finally threatened so he decided to punish Fane by banishing him and his family, to silence this danger. The Eternal King ruled over the Eternals for basically eternity until Fane the Eternal Scholar discovered the veil of Source. But she doesn't.Īnyways, the God King is actually the Eternal King that the Seven Lords and Fane served under. If she has a sworn pact and wanted to break her pact, she could use one of the two Swornbreakers that you give to Almira/Windego/Sadha. I GUARANTEE they are a hook for DLC / Another game in the series.

Malady's reasons are something SO unrelated and unknown. Whenever you fail to become Divine, be it giving up source, allowing the God King back in to the world etc, she ends up upset at you for not being able to help HER with her personal problem, because you didn't become divine.

Malady and the Godking have nothing to do with one another, actually.
