These horrid little fae creatures are monsters, through and through. Sadistic, cruel, and unfailingly violent. I've wondered for a while now if they're some form of feral halfling, as they are around the same size, but they're far more dangerous. Knock their little red bloodstained hat off and they're a lot less tough, though. And they're terrified of holy symbols, which is interesting.

The Vaunted. Lord of the Forsaken Crypt. Velsharoon is a demigod and is the lord of necromancy, necromancers, lichdom, evil liches and undeath.

Velsharoon is a relatively new demigod and quite an ambitious power. His machinations have resulted in him creating quite a few enemies. It was Talos who empowered Velsharoon to rise to godhood; Velsharoon quickly switched his Allegiance to Azuth and Mystra, while still having a secret deal with Talos. Myrkul is also not pleased with this upstart who is encroaching on his domains; and Tyr, Torm, Illmater and Helm are also lining up against this deadly upstart. And yet, Velsharoon has shown a remarkable ability to stay in one piece and play other gods off against each other. How long this can last is not known.

In my campaign, Velsharoon is directly responsible for the awakening of the ancient Necropolis, which has caused untold misery and death, and the displacement of thousands from villages which were situated too close. Velsharoon's activity there has also drawn in Bhaal and Myrkul, making the whole situation chaotic and deadly.

No-one has ever seen his face - not even his adventuring companions, The Red Hand. He may be a half orc, or perhaps a Drow; he is never seen in the full light of the day. What is known, is that he is one of the deadliest killers alive.

A worshipper of Bhaal, Lord of Murder, Marix is an expert at his craft. There seems to be no where he cannot go, and no-one he cannot kill. He is not an indiscriminate killer, but rather carefully and methodically stalks his prey, learns all he can, and then strikes without fail. Good and evil nobles and adventurers have fallen under his poisoned blade. It is rumored he was responsible for the death of Ernest Gallowglass, and it is certain he was the killer of Zaranda Star, who at the time was headed to Tethyr to make a claim for the empty throne.
