IMMORTAL CANDIDATES<br />

The following individuals are those mortals that have<br />

been clearly shown, in <strong>the</strong> official supplements, <strong>to</strong> be<br />

currently (1003 AC) undertaking <strong>the</strong> path <strong>to</strong>wards<br />

Immortality. It is reasonable that o<strong>the</strong>r PCs among those<br />

most powerful of Mystara are attempting <strong>to</strong> ascend <strong>the</strong><br />

Spheres, but <strong>the</strong>y aren’t explicitly listed in this appendix.<br />

The list shows, after <strong>the</strong> name of <strong>the</strong> character in bold,<br />

<strong>the</strong> class, level, and alignment of each, <strong>the</strong> Sphere in<br />

which he is seeking Immortality, and his Patron. The use<br />

of italics shows an assumption on <strong>the</strong> part of <strong>the</strong> author<br />

of this manual when nothing has been specified in <strong>the</strong><br />

original supplements. In <strong>the</strong> description of <strong>the</strong> Immortal<br />

is <strong>the</strong> area of action of <strong>the</strong> candidate, his present and<br />

future (expected) plans, and some indications on his<br />

personal his<strong>to</strong>ry and personality, finishing with <strong>the</strong><br />

source(s) in which fur<strong>the</strong>r information can be found.<br />

BARIMOOR<br />

Human Wizard 36 th , CE, Energy (Pharamond)<br />

Barimoor is an expatriate wizard of Alphatia thirsty for<br />

power, who is trying <strong>the</strong> climb <strong>to</strong> Immortality along <strong>the</strong><br />

path of <strong>the</strong> Paragon. He created an underground colony<br />

in <strong>the</strong> area of Ylaruam and has already spent over two<br />

centuries expanded his kingdom, populated with<br />

elemental creatures and making <strong>the</strong> area unique. In order<br />

<strong>to</strong> complete his path he must still accomplish <strong>the</strong><br />

following tasks. First, create a truly unique magical item.<br />

Second, retrieve an artefact of <strong>the</strong> Sphere of Energy<br />

(probably <strong>the</strong> Celestial Planisphere – a well-guarded<br />

possession of a Makai sorcerer). His last task is <strong>to</strong> be<br />

proclaimed <strong>the</strong> most powerful wizard by defeating <strong>the</strong><br />

o<strong>the</strong>r wizards within 100 miles. In order <strong>to</strong> avoid a brutal<br />

competition he has chosen <strong>the</strong> path in Brun ra<strong>the</strong>r than<br />

his native Alphatia. Barimoor currently believes that it<br />

will take him ano<strong>the</strong>r couple of centuries (he is a<br />

cautious, calm, and calculating individual) <strong>to</strong> complete<br />

his plan. [GAZ2]<br />

DORIATH<br />

Elf Lord (At.Cl. I), NG, Time (Ordana)<br />

Doriath is an elven adventurer who, three centuries ago,<br />

became <strong>the</strong> King of Alfheim. Since <strong>the</strong>n he has governed<br />

with wisdom. Over <strong>the</strong> course of <strong>the</strong> centuries, he has<br />

accumulated knowledge and uncovered <strong>the</strong> existence of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Path of <strong>the</strong> Dynast. This is <strong>the</strong> path that <strong>to</strong>day he is<br />

trying desperately <strong>to</strong> follow in order <strong>to</strong> become Immortal.<br />

Up <strong>to</strong> now, he has yet <strong>to</strong> make much progress. However,<br />

given <strong>the</strong> invasion of Alfheim in 1004-1009 AC (see Fury<br />

of <strong>Immortals</strong>) by <strong>the</strong> Shadowelves, Doriath could now<br />

find it a good time <strong>to</strong> depart on his Quest and found<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r elvish kingdom in Brun. [GAZ5]<br />

Human Cleric 36 th , CE, Entropy (Loki)<br />

Hosadus, known as <strong>the</strong> Master, is a clergyman of<br />

Bozdogan (Loki). He ruled Hule for at least 400 years<br />

thanks <strong>to</strong> his deceit and astuteness. It is not known what<br />

exactly he still needs for ascension, but he shouldn’t be<br />

far away from his goal. [X5, PWA3]<br />

KALADAN (THE MASTER OF FORMS)<br />

Wizard 36 th /Weretiger 21 st , CE, Entropy (Thana<strong>to</strong>s)<br />

Kaladan is <strong>the</strong> leader of <strong>the</strong> sect of Alphatian wizards who<br />

secretly continues <strong>to</strong> conduct experiments <strong>to</strong> modify <strong>the</strong><br />

initial lycanthropy s<strong>to</strong>ck after which it spread like wild<br />

fire in <strong>the</strong> empire and colonies in 400 AC. Over <strong>the</strong><br />

course of centuries, he has experimented with various<br />

alchemical preparations in order <strong>to</strong> change lycanthropy.<br />

This has finally compromised his physical and mental<br />

stability. Kaladan, in moments of great stress, is victim <strong>to</strong><br />

unexpected and uncontrolled transformations from one<br />

shape <strong>to</strong> ano<strong>the</strong>r in quick succession. The only form that<br />

he is able <strong>to</strong> manage <strong>to</strong> control <strong>to</strong> any extent is that of his<br />

original weretype – weretiger. After having abundantly<br />

spread death and chaos through <strong>the</strong> world, Thana<strong>to</strong>s has<br />

finally contacted him and now is guiding him along <strong>the</strong><br />

path of Entropy. Kaladan operates mainly in <strong>the</strong><br />

Alphatian terri<strong>to</strong>ries. [PC4]<br />

lycanthropy whilst already trying <strong>to</strong> become Immortal by<br />

following <strong>the</strong> Path of <strong>the</strong> Polymath (since 500 AC). His<br />

patron has agreed that Leo would experience a different<br />

form of lycanthropy in each of his reincarnations. Now,<br />

at <strong>the</strong> end of his Objective, he can use all <strong>the</strong> powers of<br />

his different were types. He is currently in Glantri in <strong>the</strong><br />

last phase of his journey, and <strong>the</strong>re is <strong>the</strong> very good<br />

chance that within <strong>the</strong> next decade he will achieve<br />

immortality. Once immortal, he plans <strong>to</strong> be <strong>the</strong> patron of<br />

all species of were creatures of Mystara. Leo is extremely<br />

astute and patient, but he is also a person who will try <strong>to</strong><br />

help anyone in difficulty, especially <strong>the</strong> weak and <strong>the</strong><br />

outcast. [PC4]<br />
