History[edit | edit source]

Lyrthindor was a member of Ketheric Thorm Ketheric Thorm's Dark Justiciar army, during the Sharran occupation of Reithwin Town and its surroundings over a hundred years ago. Originally a husband and father, the plague took his family and Lyrthindor turned to Shar in his grief. He was one of many Sharrans who became a Justiciar through completion of the Gauntlet of Shar's trials, reaching the final test and sacrificing the Nightsong.[1]

As Ketheric's war progressed, Infernal Mason Morfred, a member of the Selûnite resistance, made a deal with Raphael Raphael to destroy Ketheric's Justiciar army.[2][3] Yurgir Yurgir was sent to the Gauntlet to fulfil Raphael's side of the bargain, his own Infernal Contract stating that he would only be released from service if he killed every single Justiciar.[4] With no intention of actually freeing Yurgir, Raphael offered Lyrthindor help to escape from the slaughter.[5] He gave Lyrthindor the book One Becomes Many, which detailed how to transform into a swarm of rats in order to hide from Yurgir.[6]

With Yurgir unable to leave the Gauntlet, and Lyrthindor still in hiding, the two remained there for the next hundred years.

Involvement[edit | edit source]

Lyrthindor has hidden himself from Yurgir Yurgir by separating himself into the many Rat rats scattered around the gauntlet. By Raphael's design, this prevented Yurgir from completing his contract with Raphael. To get Lyrthindor to appear the party must attack and defeat all the rats around the Gauntlet of Shar. However, if the first rat which is attacked is one of those near the gargantuan-sized statue of Shar Shar at X: -717 Y: -723, it is only neccessary to defeat the rats which manifest and fight against the party at that location for Lyrthindor to appear; he must then be killed to complete Break Yurgir's Contract Break Yurgir's Contract. Any remaining rats in the Gauntlet of Shar turn hostile on sight if Lyrthindor is defeated first.
