Does "Lord of Dark" sounds disturbingly grammatically incorrect to native English speakers?

Not particularly so. Dark is also a noun in English; "I was sitting in the dark."

But then it would have to be "Lord of the Dark". "I was sitting in dark" doesn't make sense.

The issue of whether or not "dark" needs an article differs between dialects. A swift Googling (e.g., "I was in dark") brings up several examples.

But of course. Noted, thanks.
