Mountain of Malefor

Template:PlaceLegend Template:Q Template:Q The Mountain of Malefor, also known as the Well of Souls, was the location that was the Dark Master's first fortress as well as his prison. It made its first appearance in The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night.

History

The Mountain of Malefor is a mountain where Malefor was exiled by the dragon elders when he had grown evil for power. He soon created an army of Apes to defeat the dragons and taught them how to artificially harness the power of the Spirit Gems, which are the Dragons' lifeforce. In his seclusion, his malice was so great, that it split the Earth and created a pit of despair where all the unruly souls of the world could go to rest called the Mountain of Malefor, also called the Well of Souls, where he was later imprisoned. While his spirit was imprisoned in the Mountain of Malefor, his essence was trapped in Convexity. On the Night of Eternal Darkness, all those souls are freed from the pit and walk freely amongst the halls of the mountain during the eclipse only for a short while. However, a poweful spirit like Malefor, is able to escape the Well of Souls when the Night of Eternal Darkness occurs, after his essence was freed from Convexity by Cynder.

Story

Spyro intially saw visions of the Mountain of Malefor in his dreams. He later ventures to the Well of Souls to save Cynder from the Ape King, Gaul, and his horde of apes, as well as stop Malefor himself from escaping from his imprisonment within the mountain. In the ensuing fight, the Lunar Alignment occurs, temporarily infusing Spyro with Malefor's evil power, with which Spyro destroys Gaul. After the Lunar Alignment passed, the mountain began to crumble, trapping Spyro, Cynder, and Sparx. In an effort to save them all, Spyro encased them in crystal using his Time Fury, protecting them from harm as the entire mountain collapses around them. They are later seen sleeping inside the crystal within the ruins of the mountain, with Hunter of Avalar observing them from nearby. Shortly after the heroes' disappearance, Malefor finally escapes from the Well of Souls and the world falls into darkness.

The Legend of Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon

The crumbled remains of the mountain can be seen briefly in the beginning scene as Grublins ventured into the ruins of the Well of Souls and freed Spyro and Cynder from their three-year sleep, chaining them together to be sacrificed to the Golem under Malefor's orders.
