The King of the Horned Flower is a demi-avatar found in The Fade. As a demi-avatar, he is one of the most powerful beings alive. His realm is that of the hunt, wilderness, and virility, and he travels The Fade with his hunting band of half-melali Dryads. Few have ever seen him, and those who have, have done so mostly at a distance. He looks a bit like a large Melali beastmaster, with a mane of grassy hair and large antlers protruding from his head. He is rumored to have been the ex-lover of Melothria, and the two are periodically in rivalry or outright conflict. Any being other than Melothria whom he comes across will give Daucas Keroton the respect he deserves as King of The Fade’s forest and the world’s greatest hunter.
