Yurgir is an orthon who has been trapped in the Gauntlet of Shar for many years, unable to fulfil the requirements of his contract with Raphael. Under the devil's orders, he and his merregons devastated Ketheric Thorm's Dark Justiciars, killing all they found from the Grymforge to the Gauntlet. | |||

Yurgir is a towering and foreboding figure, a veteran of the blood war who is confident in his command. He speaks in a low rumble, his skin hard and red with three large sets of horns curling from the crown of his head. | |||
Yurgir loves a good fight, and has respect for capable warriors. | |||

== History == | |||
Before signing a contract with Raphael, Yurgir fought on the front-lines of the Blood War. {{ref|"Now I'm free of Raphael's blasted contract, I can return to the frontlines." - Yurgir in the House of Hope}} | |||
Sometime around the late 14th century DR, [[Ketheric Thorm]] began amassing an army of [[Dark Justiciar]]s. A Selûnite [[Infernal Mason|mason]] who had worked for Ketheric, including creating Moonrise Towers,{{ref|Dialogue with the [[Infernal Mason]]}} had tried to build a resistance against him to no avail. He eventually contacted Raphael, asking him to destroy Ketheric's army.{{cite text|Mason's Log|[[Infernal Mason|Morfred]]}} | |||
== | Yurgir signed a contract with Raphael to "''Wander Shar's halls''" and "''leave no Justiciar alive to obey''". {{ref|Yurgir reciting his contract.}} His contract stated that he must fulfil it's terms, die trying, or forfeit his freedom and become Raphael's slave. Yurgir carried out his attack with his legion of merrigons, breaking through the walls of the [[Grymforge]] and killing the Justiciar presence there. {{ref|Investigation with [[Stonemason Kith]]}} He and his legion then moved to the Gauntlet of Shar to defeat the remaining Justiciars. | ||
With no more Justiciars to be found, Yurgir and his band seemed to have succeeded. However, Yurgir remained bound to the Gauntlet. Unbeknownst to Yurgir, Raphael had given to the final Dark Justiciar, [[Lyrthindor]], a [[One Becomes Many|book]] which planted in him the idea of splitting his body into parts to escape. {{cite text|One Becomes Many|[[Raphael]]}} | |||
Unwilling to break his contract and enter into servitude, Yurgir remained in the Gauntlet, hunting shadows for a hundred years. | |||

=== Killing Yurgir === | |||
{{ | {{SpoilerWarning|act=2}} | ||
While exploring the Gauntlet, the party is lured by a [[Displacer Beast]] into a ambush with Yurgir and his Merregons. Yurgir catches the scent of [[Raphael]] on them immediately and voices his hatred of the devil, explaining the details of their contract. As a result of the contract he intends to kill anyone that dare venture into his wing of the temple. The party can continue speaking to Yurgir to learn more about his circumstances and about the fate of the Dark Justiciars, and even agree to try and help free him. | While exploring the Gauntlet, the party is lured by a [[Displacer Beast]] into a ambush with Yurgir and his Merregons.
