He knows that Mordred died, and Tain is clearly not a clone (a possibility he initially considered) of Mordred.  So, Mordred (who is dead) is using Tain as an extension of his will, or (now that he has seen some of the prophecies) it's more of a partnership but Mordred's probably not corporealAny clues as to what the artifact may be?He has no idea.  He thinks that whatever it was must have left the castle before Mordred was killed (the castle being Caer Hextor) because there was too much activity around the island for it to have "escaped" immediately after.  Which means that Mordred probably hedged his bet, and had a backup of some sort in case he "died."  But not a clone - if it was a clone, the real Mordred would be crashing around wreaking havoc, not using Tain.Could he be a descendant?Tain?  Very unlikely.  Mordred was around for at least 1000 years before the Freedom War, and fathered no known children.  At best, Tain could be a great-great-great-(etc.)-grand nephew but, anyone descended from the line of Kings would have a similar relationship.  Morgath and Isolder I were brothers.  Mordred was Morgath's son.  Morgath's other sons went on to become emperors, founding the Dragon Imperial lines on the Great Ring.  Isolder's son was hidden with the Baron Destro, and raised as a Destro, and that line was eventually restored to the throne, with the return of Maelwys I.  Tain (and Jaine) are part of that line.I want to know more of what happened at Caer Hextor.Mordred was gathering his generals and allies at Caer Hextor to finalize plans to "crush" the rebels, being led by Maelwys I.  Maelwys's forces learned of the meeting, and thought it an ideal time to attack - all of the leadership in one place.  And so they attacked Mordred's Isle, and thus Caer Hextor.  The PC's fought their evil siblings (if they had them) and some of Mordred's Powerful lieutenants. They defeated them, eventually cornering Mordred in the catacombs beneath the castle.  Tiamat was there, as well...drained of some power by her son, as he was apparently attempting to ascend to the same state of demi-deity as Tiamat and Oberon.  But, she was still super powerful.  So, tiamat and oberon fought (oberon won) while the PCs fought Mordred.  Mordred was killed, and Tiamat was imprisoned at the apparent cost of Oberon's immortality.  Everybody almost died.What weapons did Mordred favor?As a man, he had one of the falcon blades: a longsword.  He liked it a great deal.</blockquote>
