Michael Moorcock’s Stormbringer©® Campaign Expansion Song of the Darkwolf Non-Player Character Dregolath Xorn Slaver of Pan Tang Male Mabden (Pan Tang): Noble/Warrior (Overseer)/Merchant (Trader (Slaver))/Sorcerer 6’ 221 lbs (heavy -1 D20 lbs (-20 lbs)), age 35 A son of a lesser noble house of Pan Tang and slaver specializing in exotic pleasure slaves, Dregolath Xorn uses his private army of mercenaries to stage raids along the Young Kingdom’s coasts, even mounting an expedition as far as inland as Myrrhyn. During one of those raids on a small village south of Galeazzo in Ilmiora he ran afoul of the renegade Dragon Lord, Daeron Syn, who was traveling by coach service from Ilmar to the festival celebrating the city’s annual wedding to the elemental lord of the seas, Straasha. Forced the flee for his life, leaving his captives, ship, slaves and mercenaries behind to face justice, he swore vengeance and has tried to kill the Melnibonean several times by more and more extreme means… without success. Arrogant, belligerent and cruel to the point of sadism, Xorn is typical of the Mabden. Unquestioning assure of his own superiority to “lesser men”, who he sees as nothing more than property to be claimed, he’s intolerant of others’ failings, but blind to his own, demanding nothing less than perfection from those around him, while dismissing his own shortcomings. Xorn suffers from bouts of obsessive behavior (see Inflictions below) during which he will pursue a specific subject or action to the near exclusion of everything else. His current obsession is to inflict revenge on the renegade Dragon Lord, Daeron Syn, for what he perceives as an unjust slight to his honor and reputation. Swarthy and cruel featured with a hooked nose, light brown eyes, a uniquely Pan Tang styled short-cropped beard and clean-shaven head, Xorn has a stylized tribal tattoo surrounding his left eye. Although muscular, he has the wide stout frame typical of Mabden men. When away from his estate on Pan Tang, Xorn typically bares a critical quality demonic scimitar, Blackbane (attack 108% (+32% bonus)/parry 112% (+20% bonus), right, or attack 54% (+32% bonus)/parry 56% (+20% bonus), left, attack 94% (+32% bonus)/parry 98% (+20% bonus), 2-handed, damage 1 D8+1 D6+1 (+1 D6 bonus), burn (1 D6+2 fire/heat damage, POW x 5% or ignites clothing/hair (see fire damage)), demon weapon (+2 D10 damage), bond greater demon, INT 10, POW 20, need: to be placed in a fire daily, 24 MP, END -1), a critical quality dagger (attack 92% (+32% bonus)/parry 98% (+20% bonus), right, or attack 47% (+32% bonus)/parry 49% (+20% bonus), left, damage 1 D4+1 D6+2 (+1 D6 bonus), melee, or attack 91% (+32% bonus), right, or attack 45% (+32% bonus), left, damage 1 D4+1 D6+2 (+1 D4 bonus), range 50’, thrown, END -1), and a demonic whip, Blackarm (attack 96% (+32% bonus), right, or attack 87% (+32% bonus), left, damage 1 D3-1 + entangle (DEX vs DEX to escape) (+1 D4 bonus), range = 5’ to 15’, acid (+1 D10 acid damage/round), hold (STR vs STR (18) to break free, lift SIZ = STR (18), DEX x 4% to grab item (STR vs STR to take away)), bond greater demon, STR 18, INT 12, POW 19, DEX 18, need: to be rubbed with blood daily, 20 MP, END -2).
