Fusing his own body and soul with that of an automaton so that he can gain control over other automani(sp). He's currently trying to persuade the relucent Kobold lich to let him experminent on a few of his creations. Meanwhile, the Arcane Alliance, in an effort to both strengthen their position as well as help in stopping the possible invasion by Dakar, have hired a new recruit and his fellows. Rickon Taleason, a necromancer(prohibited school, abjuration)/shadow adept/animator, hails from an alternate prime, which has ties/touches both the negative material plane as well as the plane of shadow. There he has successful subjugated the few remnants of living society into an orderly mass that serves his whims as well as guards his borders from incursion by otherworldly forces. He came to this world because of the Arcane Alliance's offer to help in giving him certain rare compontents that will help in his greatest acheivement, true immortality. That and the fact they need him to help organize troops. His second in commands are the fearsome yet beluging Talia Shroon, a fighter/cleric/unfailing whose knowledge of things both military and divine have helped to keep Rickon in power as well as strengthen her own resolve, to be his forever no matter the cost. His other follower is a much more gruesome yet powerful creature, the tannruuk barbarian/Fist of Grummsh/Foe Hunter called only Harm. Harm himself commands an impressive array of living and unliving troop of orcish descent. They were original just foreign travelers, hunting in the distant etheral, until they came to Rickon's world. There they became elite troops, ready to fight no matter the cost. Now Rickon looks to learn more about automati (they are cheap and easy to maintain compared to humans, especially the undead kind). He hopes to snatch away any chance Drakron has of gaining dominance, since he feels only those of arcane strength deserve some measure of rule and authority. Finally, deep in the desolate ice fields, a long forgotten evil, a gelugon and his unholy spawn, a half fiend/white dragon, a half fiend/frost worm, and a dozen or so of fiendish dire polar bears, awaken, hoping to find a way back into Hell, since they were cast out for failure in some service to Hell.  That help any?</blockquote>
