| | **Mordakhesh l'Épée de l'Ombre** is a[[:rakshasa]] dread knight who serves on the [[:conseil_sombre]] of the [[:Seigneurs Des Cendres]] in [[:ashtakala]]. |
| | |
| | He is known as **L'épée de l'Ombre** by the [[:tribus_des_charognes]] of the [[:les_desolations_demoniaques]]. |
| | ====== Histoire ====== |
| | Mordakhesh l'Épée de l'Ombre is a legendary commander from the [[:age_des_demons]]. He was warlord for [[:rak_tulkhesh|La Rage de la Guerre]] in the [[:age_des_demon|Premier Âge]] of [[:eberron]], and now sits on the [[:conseil_sombre]] of [[:ashtakala]] as his //prakhutu//. Mordakhesh's armies were defeated and bound within the [[:flamme_d_argent]] by the [[:dragons]] and [[:couatl]] during this time, and he now works to free his [[:rak_tulkhesh|master]] and spread his influence on [[:khorvaire]]. |
| | |
| | Mordakhesh has had a hand in some of the bloodiest events in [[:khorvaire]]'s history: allegedly teaching the [[:dhakaani]] smiths how to craft their first swords in the [[:age_des_monstres]], assisting [[Malleon le Ravageur]] in his conquest over the [[:gobelins]], and witnessing the fall of [[:sharn|Dorasharn]] during the [[:la_guerre_des_marques|Guerre des Marques]]. |
| | ====== Apparence et Personnalité ====== |
| | Mordakhesh l'Épée de l'Ombre is a dark-furred [[:rakshasa|zakya rakshasa]] with stripes of fire. He often wears dark armor with a gorget of [[:dragon]] scales. |
| | |
| | Mordakhesh is a skilled warrior, and enjoys replacing his [[:Seigneurs Des Cendres|claw]] servants to participate in slaughter himself. |
| | |
| | He follows the wisdom of the seers of [[:ashtakala]] to fulfill the [[:prophetie_draconique|Prophecy]] as it relates to his [[:rak_tulkhesh|master's]] release. |
| | |
| | Mordakhesh is said to be an active force in [[:khorvaire]], and he has many plots to free his master [[:rak_tulkhesh]] across the continent. |
| | ====== Capacités ====== |
| | Mordakhesh l'Épée de l'Ombre is the primary servant of [[:maitres_demoniaques|Overlord]] [[:rak_tulkhesh]], as well as a legendary leader and powerful [[:rakshasa|zakya rakshasa]]. His greatest asset is his ability to persuade decent folk to commit atrocities in [[:rak_tulkhesh|La Rage de la Guerre]]. |
| | |
| | Mordakhesh prefers manipulating armies, and has spies seeded amongst most armies of [[:khorvaire]]. He maintains a legion of lesser fiends and barbarians in [[:desolations_demoniaques|The Les Désolations Démoniaques]]. He sits on the [[:conseil_sombre]] of [[:ashtakala]]. |
| | |
| | Mordakhesh wears a ring with a sliver of the [[:dragonshard|Khyber dragonshard]] containing some essence of [[:la_rage_de_la_guerre]]. His master may influence those with whom Mordakhesh personally interacts through this artifact. |

| | MORDAKHESH |
| | In the age when fiends and dragons waged war across |
| | Eberron, rakshasas served the fiendish lords as strategists |
| | and generals. A rakshasa named Mordakhesh rose |
| | up through the ranks to become one of the greatest commanders |
| | of his age, and a dragon-slaying specialist. For |
| | this, he earned the nickname Shadowsword, along with |
| | a legendary reputation for leaving death in his wake. |
| | Mordakhesh serves as the prakhutu or "speaker" of |
| | his imprisoned master, Rak Tulkhesh, and he seeks to |
| | free his lord by bathing the world in blood. Like a spider |
| | with multiple webs, he has agents and pawns (which he |
| | calls his "claws") established in armies across Khorvaire. |
| | The most significant of those is the barbarian |
| | horde he amasses in the Demon Wastes-warriors who |
| | threaten to sweep into .Aundair on a tide of blood. |
| | Many of the horrors of the Last War were instigatedor |
| | at least encouraged-by Mordakhesh's operatives, and |
| | his claws are known to have perpetrated some of the |
| | most brutal massacres of that conflict. No one knows |
| | how far the Shadowsword's reach extends, or which |
| | commanders in the armies of Khorvaire serve him. |
