	Now known as [[the Silverlord]], Morgoth began, according to his own testimony, as a meager [[slave]] sold by his parents to a horrible [[master]] that instructed him in the dark arts. However, Morgoth grew in power and recognition over time such that his master became [[jealous]] and worried about the potential of [[rebellion]]. Thus, according to Morgoth, his master ordered him to travel to the shrine of the [[Order of the Guardians]] and destroy it, or be destroyed in its place. Morgoth got to the cloth, but his [[pride\|overconfidence]] allowed the Cloth to imprison him.<ref>[[Tapestry of Dark Souls (Novel)]] p. 210-211</ref>		Now known as [[the Silverlord]], Morgoth began, according to his own testimony, as a meager [[slave]] sold by his parents to a horrible [[master]] that instructed him in the dark arts.

	Morgoth waited seventeen years ([[735 BC]]<ref>DoD p. 17</ref>) before he was fully able to fully manipulate his son. Casting the Guardians as [[liar]]s and [[deceiver]]s, Morgoth [[manipulated]] Jon into freeing him. Portraying himself as a benign father figure and [[teacher]], Morgoth persuaded an [[oath]] of [[loyalty]] from his son, with the implicit threat of doom to his loved ones, especially [[Sondra]], weighing deeply upon Jonathan's heart.<ref>ToDS p. 212-217</ref> One of Jonathan's first tasks was the [[murder]] of [[Brother Leo]] when Leo approached their [[lair]].

	Morgoth's loyalties ultimately were with the other lost souls in the Tapestry (for whom he intended to free<ref name="ToDS p. 252-253">ToDS p. 252-253</ref>) and to his progeny (so long as they served him). Like [[the Gentleman Caller]], Morgoth intended to act as a [[breeder]] of his children, producing a [[family]] of mystically endowed servants to enforce his will. Unusual for a [[tyrant]], Morgoth was quite accommodating in granting Jon's favors when asked.<ref name="ToDS p. 290-291">ToDS p. 290=291</ref> Morgoth was even forgiving despite Jon's attempts at [[rebellion]].<ref name="ToDS p. 282, 284">ToDS p. 282, 284</ref> With his other pawns, such as Maeve<ref name="ToDS p. 250">ToDS p. 250</ref> or [[Dirca]]<ref name="ToDS p. 275">ToDS p. 275</ref>, Morgoth was more willing to toss aside.

			Morgoth engineered two [[attack]]s upon the Guardians' monastery, hellbent on retrieving the Tapestry. The first attack, utilizing Maeve's pack of [[werewolves]], failed.<ref name="ToDS p. 250-260">ToDS p. 250-260</ref> In the second attack, Morgoth led a mass of [[undead]] minions taken from the villagers of [[Linde]]. However, he was lured into a [[trap]] set by Jon and [[Ivar]]. With the last minute intervention of Maeve, Ivar and Jon were able to destroy both the Tapestry and Morgoth, though at the cost of both Jon and Ivar's lives.<ref name="ToDS p. 302-307">ToDS p. 302-307</ref>
