The Lords of Midnight are a villainous faction which seeks to rule over the multiverse through political, militaristic, religious and various other means. Although a predominantly evil faction, the Lords do not wish to destroy the Multiverse, as each of them has a stake in keeping its denizens alive, and establishing order. The Lords are one of the first villain factions to form, and is by far the longest-lasting, despite cycles of turmoil and plentiful enemies. Although the Lords see each other as equals, the guide for the Lords' vision is Ganondorf.
