Centuries ago, the Netherese wizard Aldlas Sod-hese and his yugoloth minions caused great havoc
for the recently rediscovered city of Myth Drannor and the elves of Cormanthyr. Thankfully he was defeated, and his body laid to rest in a vault meant to prevent his return.
There he would sleep until the archlich Larloch attempted to drain the mythal of the ancient city and
use its power to ascend to godhood. Larloch was narrowly thwarted by the actions of Elminster, but
even in defeat, the Shadow King is a dangerous foe.
Because of the damage to the Weave created by his attempt to drain the mythal, and by the destruction
of the floating Netherese city of Thultanthar, Lar-loch activated his contingency: Aldlas was raised
from the dead as a servitor and given new goals. In his old tomb and prison, Aldlas summoned
a great number of his former yugoloth allies and used them to gather items of power from the ruined
elven cities in the dreaming forest. He then reached out to the green dragon Ver-thandantalynx and bribed her with many of thoseitems to send her minions out into the forest and secure it from visitors who might stumble upon his
master’s plans.
But one of the recovered items, a magical codex was not intended for the dragon. Instead, Aldlas
arranged to have it found by a lorenorn, Quaryl Tellasarim, which his master had an interest in.
Manipulating the lorenorn through the codex, Lar-loch, calling himself “the warlock,” has been able to
further unravel the Weave towards his own ends.
Brave the shattered city and its wild magic, delve down, and deal with the new threat!
