**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.
