#-he's under the dungeon lord's spell and obeys their whims

I demand an AU where Laios' leg gets fucking crunched during the Red Dragon Battle (re-attachment impossible), and Marcille practices the whole necro-magic first by givin' him a new leg! With Red Dragon Blood/Flesh, he also gets put under the same command as Falin, except since it's only a leg, the curse slowly becomes more and more powerful until the eventual transformation above!!! :D AKA Ah Fuck, Took Too Long Overthrowing the Dungeon Lord, Get Monster'd. Lion + Red Dragon, because I like it. Laios would think it's cool, too, so there. The trade of Cool Monster is Sense of Self / Consciousness eroding into nothing (monster body, monster brain), though, so he's basically on an extra timer to stop/overthrow the Dungeon Lord, or experience a kind of death of sorts. Random idea I had to get outta my head, y'know?

(His old tower was plundered by Iryklathagra, then a blue dragon wyrmling, in 150 DR before becoming the site of the Ulcaster School of Wizardry in 1026 DR. Four years later, Hilather delivered the thirteen Demonshields to Qysar Amahl Shoon IV, then disappeared. Hilathar based himself in the remote emirate of Torsil, which lay on the Sword Coast north of the Cloud Peaks, where he worked from an abandoned tower. In the Year of the Addled Arcanist, 128 DR, after arriving in the Shoon Imperium, Hilather was hired by the Imperial Court to research a more secure means of binding fiends to obey their summoners. Įventually, Hilather emerged from the temporal stasis and began to explore Faerûn. He was trapped there for thousands of years. However, during the ultimate fall of Imaskar in −2488 DR, Hilather escaped to a secret Imaskari stronghold concealed deep under Imaskar's western mountains and entered a temporal stasis. He became Lord Hilather, and an Imaskari artificer. When the fellow Imaskari mage Madryoch the Ebon Flame created the Shadow Stone and plotted to take over the empire, the heroic young Hilather went to the fortress of Metos, challenged Madryoch, and finally bound him within the Demiplane of Imprisonment, thus saving Imaskar. A young prodigy, Hilather rose to become one of the foremost archwizards of the empire. In fact, he was named Hilather and came from the Raurin in the Imaskari Empire during its Late period (from −3920 DR). History does not record where and when Halaster hailed from, and it was only suspected that he was older than Elminster. He was said to be often "hidden in the walls" of Undermountains, namely his own private network of secret passages there. However, he was known to always wear a ring of protection +5, a ring of regeneration, and/or a horned ring a robe of eyes and up to twenty flying +1 daggers. Possessions Īs well as Undermountain itself, Halaster owns hundreds of magic items, some quite powerful, which were hidden in caches throughout Undermountain. In addition to his great magical prowess, Halaster was well-versed in many areas, from gem-cutting to engineering to the breeding, care, and containment of monsters, both alive and undead, particularly from those hailing from other planes. He also made use of its countless traps and and surprises, such as a "moving portal" that could pick up either himself or his victims and deposit them somewhere else. Inside Undermountain, he could command all kinds of constructs, including crawling claws, helmed horrors, and various golems. Among them, he could make use of contingency spells and clones of himself to ensure his survival in any spell-battle. Abilities Īs a mighty archmage, Halaster Blackcloak had a vast array of spells and magical powers at his command. However, as his power grew, he dealt more and more with beings from other planes, which led to his growing madness. He was more gregarious as a young man, creating and hosting magefairs and spellmoots, and taking many apprentices. Thus, until such things came along, Halaster meddled in politics and goings-on in the world according to his whims for his own entertainment. However, having lived for millennia, he finds very little that he hasn't seen before. His main hobbies were collecting new monsters and kinds of magic. He pushed to have his own way in all things, heedless of the havoc or harm done to others in the way. He did not tolerate any insult or insolence in any case and remembered any offense or help given his way. Īt these times, Halaster was cold, well-mannered, and dignified and fastidious and meticulous in his habits, though still thoroughly evil. While in Undermountain, he had only rare moments of lucidity, but if he was ever outside the dungeon, he became lucid for much of the time. Nevertheless, he remained fully aware of threats and hazards, and reacted and defended himself with great speed and efficiency. He muttered and chuckled to himself ceaselessly and had difficulty holding the thread of any conversation or debate for very long.
