Lord Xanzaphil
Lord Xanzaphil is a NPC created by The Bitter Coast Quest Guild for use in the ongoing Bitter Coast Quest Campaign, which has been told over several reigns.
Lord Xanzaphil, Demon Prince of Flame, is a horrifyingly powerful demonic agent bent on the fiery destruction of Amtgardia. Unlike most Demon Princes, the fiery lord cares little for groveling mortal followers, preferring to instead torch their world and claim their souls. He is rumored to command legions of infernal demon soldiers, and has tried on at least one occasion to personally lead them into the material plane. However, his plans of invasion were foiled thanks to a mysterious prophecy discovered in the village of Ulrenth by a pillaging Drow Force.
The prophecy reads (when translated from Arcane):
And so spake the Prophetic One,
And on the Tenth and Fifth day of the Eleventh Month, in the Year of the Stag, it is told that Lord Xanzaphil, The Demon Prince of Flame, would descend accompanied by the infernal ignan legions of the damned to destroy Amtgardia and all Souls who upon it live. And He shall feast upon the blood of all who stand against Him, His eternal evil growing across the land. And the grinding chariots of hell, set loose upon the land, will cut down the last heroes of Amtgardia. For shall it be noted, the only method by which this plane may be saved from Fiery doom is to call the Fell Lord forth from the Unholy Pit and slay him and his legions before his power culminates in the unapproachable crescendo of doom, lest all who live in this cursed land suffer the Wrath of the Flame. Though armies may march, the world will fall unto the shadow. Bathed in blood shall be its shores, sown with salt shall be its fields, barren shall be its forests. The charred ashes of the ironically named Burning Lands will be the only testament to the great civilization of that once stood in this forsaken, stygian plane.
