D&D General Which modules/sources have info on Tharizdun?

[Urriak Uruk]

Hi all, I'm thinking of continuing the Ghosts of Saltmarsh storyline by having the dark god Tharizdun as the main antagonist.

My question is, in which published modules (regardless of edition) is Tharizdun (or his possible alias the Elder Elemental Eye) the main villain? Other sources detailing his prison and history would also be appreciated as I research this interesting deity.

I know of 2 D&D podcasts that make the chained oblivion the a core campaign enemy. Both in homebrew worlds -- "the natural one podcast" and "critical role". But that is lots of hours of reseach.

The avatar of Tharizdun in Natural One (eddie) is just delicious. And he shows up pretty early -- Natural 1 Podcast

WG4 is a must buy.

The Wikipedia page on Tharizdun has a good list of references.

There are a number of adventures in Dungeon Magazine.

I'm sure this is true, however there are what, a couple hundred adventures from that magazine? If you have the number or name of one that would be super helpful.

Ah, sorry. One I remember is about the rescue of a merchant's daughter who is about to give birth. There's a cameo in the Shadows of Istivin mini-campaign.

If you can find EGG's Gord the Rogue novels, Tharizdun is a major antagonist in about half of them...

....burn them.

Sorry. But the first one (Sage of Old City) is passable. The second (Artifact of Evil) is, um, well, it's definitely a book set in Greyhawk.

The rest manage to meld the worst aspects of Gygax's impenetrable verbosity, poor plotting, and "DM NPC wish-fulfillment."

As always, YMMV.

I rather liked Sea of Death, as it detailed an area I was always interested in; the Forgotten City/Suel capitol city in the Sea of Dust. But yeah, the series in general is rather hard to read. Still, if you want an idea of what EGG had in mind about Tharizdun, these will do it...
