Alaric Razor

Race: Gnome Role: Wizard — trauma relief and curse specialty Location: Tower in Bryn Shander Notable: Lots of cats Status: ⚠️ Possibly cursed — necrotic saturation from Valkyrian’s ritual space; needs monitoring

A gnome wizard specializing in curses and trauma. Has researched both Meldir’s blood curse and Dax’s shadow curse in depth. Traveled with the party to the Sea of Moving Ice to investigate the The Crimson Concord tomb.

Disposition: Friendly / Ally

Curse Research

Meldir’s Blood Curse

The curse is the result of an incomplete vampire ritual. The vampires of the Crimson Concord attempted to transfer blood hunger into Meldir as a subject but did not finish the ritual. A possible cure exists — research points toward the Sea of Moving Ice.

Dax’s Shadow Curse

A Mystra-forbidden ancient Netherese ritual that severed Dax’s shadow from his body. The shadow is sentient and wants its life back. Cure components identified:

  • Needle of Night
  • Thread of Living Gloom
  • Willing Submission

Perks

  • Offered free healing to the party whenever they are in Bryn Shander — accessible via Larry Grazer at the House of the Morning Lord

Interaction Log

Session — Curse Research (pre-expedition)

  • Researched both Meldir’s and Dax’s curses
  • Identified Meldir’s curse as an incomplete vampire ritual; pointed the party toward the Sea of Moving Ice
  • Identified Dax’s curse as an ancient Netherese ritual (Mystra-forbidden) that severed Dax’s shadow; provided cure components

Session — Expedition to the Crimson Concord Tomb (Sea of Moving Ice)

  • Traveled with the party to investigate The Crimson Concord obsidian tomb
  • Was struck multiple times by lair damage and Valkyrian’s attacks; nearly killed
  • Kelrick Counterspelled a Vampiric Touch aimed at him, saving his life
  • Went unconscious twice during the Valkyrian fight; survived both times
  • Survived the encounter

Session — Mar 29 (Post-Fight)

  • After the fight, Kelrick investigated Alaric and detected necrotic energy saturating his body — similar in character to Meldir’s blood curse
  • He may have contracted a form of the blood hunger condition from prolonged exposure to Valkyrian’s ritual space
  • Status: Under observation; needs monitoring
