[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 3394234, member: 7635"] You're all correct. SPOILERS FOLLOW! The original D&D adventure Path (Sunless Citadel -> Bastion of Broken Souls) introduced Asharadon to us. He was a powerful Red Dragon who had his own cult of devoted followers. He was opposed by a powerful Druid named Dydd who, in an epic battle, wounded Asharadon's heart but perished in the process. Asharadon knew he was dying so, so bound a demon (a balor named Ammet) to him to keep him alive. Thus, he became a half-fiendish Red Dragon and began to look for new ways to achieve immortality... He or his cult has appeared in a variety of places in 3e since then. Including. * A sample Intelligent magical dagger in the DMG 3.5 (the tooth of Asharadon) * As a planar touchstone site in Planar Handbook * As a vestige in Dragon Magic * As a Prestige class in Draconomicon (Disciple of Asharadon, who gain fiendish qualities and seek immortality) His name and cult appears in the [I]Sunless Citadel[/I] and [I]Heart of the Nightfang Spire[/I]. Info on Dydd appears in [I]The Standing Stone.[/I] Asharadon's stats (as well as more info on him and on Dydd) appear in [I]Bastion of Broken Souls.[/I] His head priest is Guthias, a staked vampire from which the Guthias tree grows (out of the wooden stake). After the tree is defeated, Guthias is freed and becomes the main villain in the Nightfang Spire (not sure most people caught that reference.) [/QUOTE]
