Slaad Lords: Xestomul and Zdronvas?

[BOZ]

i was googling for more information on slaad lords, and these two names came up. anyone know if they are fan creations or if they have ever actually appeared anywhere?

Xestomul is an original creation from the guys over at DICEFREAKS. Not sure about Zdronvas though...as all I found was one person on another forum saying he was a slaad lord...

same here.

Xestomul by one of our lead designers, Kain Darkwind. Chances are that the template used and the cosmology will change significantly, so whatever you think of doing (assuming you do anything since it appears that most of the material you "convert" is based upon "official" 1ed and 2ed stuff) may well have little to do with the final direction we take at Dicefreaks.

i won't be doing anything with anyone else's fan-created material.

Okay, according to the guy on that other forum, Zdronvas is from the 1E Book of Lairs. However, I own copies of the Book of Lairs and Book of Lairs II, and I can safely say that neither mention anyone called Zdronvas...in fact, neither mention slaad at all. So, I'm inclined to say that this one probably isn't official.

Found him! Zdronvas is mentioned in Tales of the Outer Planes. He's in the BoL-style write-ups at the end. He's not a slaad lord, however, but merely a grey slaad.

there's the answer to my questions, then. thanks fellas.

Wartle, another slaad lord, was introduced in TotOP.
