I immediately assumed he was referring to Acererak.  When 'Labyrinth' was discovered and talked about, Acererak's name came up and many people thought that perhaps an entire AP was being built around him and various new tombs of horror showing up perhaps in the Realms (not the actual S1 tomb, but just locations that Acererak had built across the multiverse, including one or more in Chult.)  And which Artus Cimbur and the Ring of Winter had been connected.  Seems to me, if his demilich skull in S1 is any indication 'Soulmonger' definitely could apply to Acererak.The other primary 'Soulmonger' reference in D&D though of course is Blackrazor.  The sword swallows souls and just coincidentally has been playtested as a Warlock patron.  So perhaps *that's* the 'Soulmonger' Chris was referring to?Or you know what?  With Tales of the Yawning Portal just being released and getting more people up on the history of Acerarak and Blackrazor (through the WPM and ToH reprints)... who's to say that perhaps the next AP this fall involves BOTH Acererak *and* Blackrazor having traversed the multiverse?  As Perkins said during the AcqInc game... anyone who had died previously in Faerun was having their life drained away-- the M.O. of both the demilich and the sword respectively.  If the two teamed up to run roughshod...  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
