Rhazdon

TLC 01/11

Oriceran, Atlantean Tyrant

An evil mage, who caused wars. Rhazdon’s followers were barely defeated and at the cost of hundreds of good beings. To think that someone has been inspired to take up Rhazdon’s twisted cause? There’s no one left now who would even remember how his magic was defeated. The scarab? I believe it came from a Rhazdon follower. A current one.”

Not possible! They’ve been dead for over six hundred years! Since the uprising! Our elders made sure to exterminate every last one of them. Every warring faction came together to make sure that happened. They worship darkness and draw it into their magic! They were the cause of the last wars!” They were all destroyed over six hundred years ago. Our elders made sure to exterminate every last one of them. “May the forces help us. Rhazdon’s followers were barely defeated and at the cost of hundreds of good beings. To think that someone has been inspired to take up Rhazdon’s twisted cause?

Rhazdon was no ordinary being, even by Oriceran standards. He matched his arrogance and need to be something with an innate talent for magic. He was considered gifted from the very start. Probably attributed that to his Atlantean blood. He attributed everything to that. The stories that are told usually leave out that he was only half Atlantean, from Earth, because after a while Rhazdon forgot. He researched the Atlanteans thoroughly, retracing their steps from thousands of years ago, resurrecting their magic. Dark magic

“He took what he learned and went from town to town, recruiting other lost souls from all the different kingdoms and lands of Oriceran, building his own following.” “He was after purity of thought,” said Correk. “In the end, what bothered him wasn’t what you were made from but how you thought, how you believed.”At his height, he had thousands of followers and had built his own kingdom, complete with a well-fortified castle. From there, he began his revenge, attempting to destroy those who he saw as responsible for the end of the Atlanteans.” “So, basically, everyone else.” “Yes, and eventually we were at war. I believe here on Earth you would call it a world war. So many died enforcing the treaty, pushing back Rhazdon’s followers.” . “He was able to threaten the very existence of everyone else on Oriceran by using the dark magic.” Correk nodded his head solemnly and his expression was grave. “Every bloodline, every kingdom felt the losses. For some, their name was ended for all time. He would tell captured soldiers, and women and children to follow his path or die. Most chose death.” “It took all the kingdoms of Oriceran working together to defeat Rhazdon. He died in the final battle, burned alive in his own tower. Those who survived were sentenced to Trevilsom Prison. All the evidence of his existence, every relic, every artifact, every book of spells was hidden away in a vault that is guarded at all times by very vigilant gnomes.”

TSoNM 01/24 Discussed the history of one of the most well-known dark wizards in history, one who only recently died. Rhazdon, who lived to be over eight hundred years old. “Rhazdon was born and raised on Earth, although was half Atlantean, a normal magical being like any other child…or so we thought. Rhazdon not only was exceptionally capable in both potions and artifact magic, but she was a very powerful natural witch.“Rhazdon and her followers were misguided. But in the end she was remorseful for what she had unleashed onto the worlds and as her last act tried to make things right. Eight hundred and twenty years ago when a war raged between the Followers and many of our own, people died or were damned to the World in Between, and lives were changed forever. Does anyone know who sparked the rise of Rhazdon? “The seer shared the theory that when the next Golden Age comes it will drain the last of Oriceran’s magic and all creatures must go to Earth or perish.”
