"Dark lords" are often depicted as powerful and malevolent figures in various forms of literature, film, and mythology. They typically possess great magical abilities and seek to dominate or destroy their enemies, often representing the embodiment of evil. These characters are commonly found in fantasy genres, where they serve as the primary antagonists. In many stories, dark lords are associated with dark magic, sinister creatures, and vast armies. They may have loyal followers or minions, such as orcs or demons, who help carry out their nefarious plans. Examples of dark lords include Sauron from J.R.R. Tolkien's works and Voldemort from the Harry Potter series.
