Rillikandren was the head priest of Boccob in Rauxes in 585 CY, having served in the capacity for some time before. He is both a high level mage and a high level priest who has been left alone by Ivid V's purges of religious leaders of religious other that the few that had government sanction in part because he stopped actively preaching and in part because neither he nor his acolytes left the tower, which nobody could break into [1].
Description
[edit | edit source]Appearance
[edit | edit source]Just before the fall of Rauxes where his tower resided, Rillikandren was 52 years old. He is "6', slender of build, with black hair turned to white at the temples, a widow's peak, and gray eyes."[2]
Personality
[edit | edit source]Rillikandren is first and foremost a scholar. He is an unparalleled expert in unique magic relics—easily the most well-versed scholar in the Eastern Flanaess.[2] He is, however, very cagey about his study and will usually refuse to talk about what he's learned unless offered the chance to study a different magical artifact in exchange.[2]
Abilities
[edit | edit source]Rillikandren has an eceedingly astute mind and is gifted with insight and discernment. (Int 18, Wis 18).[2]
Possessions
[edit | edit source]Most notably, Rillikandren owns a copy of the Book of Hours, an incredible historical tome which records events in the Flanaess, down to the precise hour they occur. It is also a prophetic work and is said to contain similar information about future events.
Interestingly, Rillikandren owns an "antique Bakluni" ring of true seeing. He also keeps various crystal balls which are useful in his research and study of magical relics.[2]
Relationships
[edit | edit source]Rillikandren has three acolytes who have been holed up with the temple with him. The most powerful is a 7th level mage/7th level priest, while the other two are single classed; one being a 8th level mage and the other being a 6th level priest [2].
Court Mage Karoolck "is believed to both hate and fear Rillikandren greatly."[3] and occasionally attempts to send fiends of various sorts to break into his tower, though such effort always fail[2].
History
[edit | edit source]After the collapse of the former Great Kingdom and the fall of Rauxes, where Rillikandren's tower resides, nothing is known of the fate of Rillikandren.
Representatives of House Darmen go to the temple in Rauxes (before spring 585 CY) to try and negotiate with Rillikandren in some capacity, but are refused admittance.[1]
