The Fallen Lords were powerful undead wizards who were suborned by Balor in the Great War against the Light. Acting war generals for the Dark, among their ranks were Soulblighter, Shiver, the Deceiver, and the Watcher. Three of the four formally served Connacht in the previous lives as Damas, Ravanna and Myrdred respectively while the Watcher was a former enemy of theirs. The Nine once believed that the powers of the Fallen were derived from Balor himself, but this was not directly the case. While each of the Fallen Lords were formidable by themselves, their powers were magnified by a link forged to Balor, a measure in which the Leveller ensured their obedience to his will.
It is said that there were six Fallen Lords who served in the war, but only four of the six were named. Perhaps the two unnamed Fallen were already killed off prior to the events of Myth: The Fallen Lords.
