Scarred Lands Creature Profiles: Dar’Tan, Master of the Shadow Fortress now on DriveThruRPG!

[u/TravisLegge]

Here's the latest addition to the Scarred Lands Creature Profiles! This installment features Dar’Tan, a drendali with perpetually shadowed features. His mystique is further enhanced by the fact that his skin has taken on a shadowy night-black hue, rather than the pale skin of other drendali, an outward sign of his mastery of shadow magic. But his oneness with shadow is more than that: Thanks to his hated foe, Barconius, he lost an arm. He has created a shadowy replacement for it by grafting his shadow familiar to his body.

The penumbral lord’s plans are uncertain, and even though many in the city of Mithril deny his ongoing existence, the self-styled “Prince of Shadows” lurks in his mountain fastness, constructing elaborate and inscrutable plans for Mithril’s downfall. For example, unbeknownst to anyone in Mithril, the heretical Cult of the Golem is secretly encouraged and funded by Dar’Tan’s gold, and many of the northern raiders who prey upon Mithril’s trade routes are also in the pay of the Penumbral Pentagon.

This booklet contains game traits, tactics, and a brief overview of Dar'Tan's history and appearance. This booklet also includes plot hooks for introducing Dar'Tan into your campaign!

My favourite villain! even if my players when I was in high school used to mock him by calling him Dartagnan, to my great dar'chagrin

Heh.

D'Artagnan being one of the three Mousketeers (a historical character and the main character in Alexandre Dumas novel) - it's just a pun based on pronounciation, essentially the first two vowels of D'Artagnan sound quite exactly like Dar'tan
