Lyrthindor is a secret Dark Justiciar in the Gauntlet of Shar. He has hidden himself from

Yurgir by separating himself into the many rats that are scattered around the gauntlet. This has inadvertently prevented Yurgir from completing his contract and thus killing Lyrthindor is one solution to

Break Yurgir's Contract. To get him to appear you have to attack the rats around the Gauntlet of Shar.

“

These hands...too big. Where are the others? Where's the rest of me?!

History[edit | edit source]

Lyrthindor was a member of Ketheric Thorm's Dark Justiciar army, during the Sharran occupation of Reithwin Town and its surroundings over a hundred years ago. Originally a husband and father, the plague took his family and Lyrthindor turned to Shar in his grief. He was one of many Sharrans who became a Justiciar through completion of the Gauntlet of Shar's trials, reaching the final test and sacrificing the Nightsong.^[1]

As Ketheric's war progressed, Morfred, a member of the Selûnite resistance, made a deal with Raphael to destroy Ketheric's Justiciar army.^[2]^[3] Yurgir was sent to the Gauntlet to fulfil Raphael's side of the bargain, his own Infernal Contract stating that he would only be released from service if he killed every single Justiciar.^[4] With no intention of actually freeing Yurgir, Raphael offered Lyrthindor help to escape from the slaughter.^[5] He gave Lyrthindor the book One Becomes Many, which detailed how to transform into a swarm of rats in order to hide from Yurgir.^[6]

With Yurgir unable to leave the Gauntlet, and Lyrthindor still in hiding, the two remained there for the next hundred years.

Speak with Dead[edit | edit source]

Party member: Who are you?

Lyrthindor: Lyrthindor...

Party member: What happened to you?

Lyrthindor: Devil. Fled. Hid. Rats...

Party member: How did you become a swarm of rats?

Lyrthindor: Man appeared. Offered help. Raphael...
- Party member: Raphael hired the orthon to kill you - why would he then help you?
  - Narrator: *The corpse remains silent. It does not know.*

Party member: What brought you to this place?

Lyrthindor: Sought Shar. Sought oblivion.
- Party member: Oblivion? Why would you want that?
  - Lyrthindor: Wife, daughter... plague. Nothing left.

Party member: How did you become a Dark Justiciar?

Lyrthindor: Trials. Sacrifice. But she rose...

↑ If casting Command (Drop) on Lyrthindor, he drops an otherwise unobtainable variant of scimitar, which visually matches Justiciar's Scimitar with none of the special effects, but has a boosted die (1d8) even for a normal scimitar.
