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. ====== References ====== 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. {{tag>["Étrangers"]}} {{tag>[NPC]}} {{tag>[Rakshasa]}} {{tag>["seigneurs des cendres"]}} {{tag>["conseil sombre"]}} {{tag>["serviteurs des maîtres démoniaques"]}} {{tag>["Âge des Démons"]}} {{tag>["Âge des Monstres"]}} {{tag>["Les Désolations Démoniaques"]}} {{tag>["Ashtakala"]}}
