Here, this is the definition from from wikipedia
The Shadow Lord is the tyrant ruler of the Northern region once called Pirra, to which he has laid waste. Once a human sorcerer, the Shadow Lord died after many years of study, wherein he perfected his skill at manipulation. His intelligence, his desire for control, and his hate for all that does not love him survived and re-embodied itself as a being of pure darkness, shrouded in grey and red clouds. A voice it has, and it can cause physical reactions such as the creation of living things or the movement of objects. It forgets nothing, and it always makes multilayered plans.
In its attempt at conquest, the Shadow Lord was foiled by Adin the blacksmith, who united all the seven tribes of the land into an army of his own. Backed by the warrior Jalis, the noble Dread Gnomes, the hedonistic Mere tribe, his own faithful Del people, the hopeful Plains folk, the cheerful Ralad, and the magical but hidebound Torans, Adin vanquished the Shadow Army and seized power, becoming the king of the land he now called Deltora.
Furious, the Shadow Lord withdrew and began concocting other plans. Sending Ols to be chief advisors of the royal family, it instilled its voice in the ears of rulers, ultimately robbing the kings and queens of power until they did nothing but obey worthless customs. In time, the seven Ak-Baba stole the tribal talismans from the Belt of Deltora, concealing each in a perilous place.
However, the gems were recovered by a descendant of Adin, Lief as well as Barda, and Jasmine of Del. The Belt was remade, and the land freed from the foreign threat.
