BELDRIC THE ENCHANTER
Beldric the Enchanter
was a member of the Enchanter’s Guild who went rogue. While the whereabouts of his secret lair is unknown, he worked in the Fields of Frotzen when attempting to summon
The Beast of Beldra, a creature about which very little is known. Beldric was discovered and halted by Bozbik the
Face Breaker, prompting Beldric to swear vengeance. He hoped to achieve that vengeance when he joined forces with
Oldric the Pirate and Tandric the Trapwright sometime during the Great Monster Uprising, but was thwarted in that endeavor
as well.For in that final scheme, the three were able to shrewdly recruit a man in Mizniaport, known
only by his alias "Detective Softly", into recovering the Spear of Zoz
for them (a weapon they believed would give them a considerable
advantage over Bozbik) without drawing attention to themselves. To do
this, they first manipulated "Softly" into finding the Dice of Gnilbel,
which would always magically reveal the location of the spear.
Discovering through this arcane means that the weapon was in Fenshire,
"Softly" set out to recover it. Beldric presented him with a crystal ball so that the detective's journey would be observed all the while from afar.
Prior
to the retrieval of the legendary spear, Bozbik himself recovered the
relic and planned to place it in
his soon-to-open
Museum of Face Breaking. Oldric, Beldric, and Tandric
later assaulted Bozbik at the
Miznia Marshlands and snatched
the Spear of Zoz off his back. The trio returned to their super secret
clubhouse in the
Jungles of Miznia, then, after ransacking the place,
left in a hurry for the
Fields of Frotzen. When "Softly" arrived at the
hideout, he was too late. He and Bozbik also discovered Tandric's
headquarters in the
Forest of Youth to be vacant. The two finally
tracked down
the trio at the Fields of Frotzen, defeated them, recovered the Spear
of Zoz, and took the three tied-up villians back to Mizniaport.
TRIVIA:
- Beldric knew at least the CLEESH and LISKON spells.
