Editing Mordenkainen (section)

[[File:Mordenkainen.png|frameless|left|Archmage Mordenkainen]] [[Mordenkainen]] is a mage of considerable power who was revealed to the members of [[The Eternal Order]] during the [[Battle of Toldoth]]. As he confirmed in a later conversation, during this battle, [[Mordenkainen]] summoned a host of Devils, including [[Moloch]] himself to fight the Demons that were flooding into the town.

This was actually not the first time [[The Eternal Order]] crossed [[Mordenkainen]]'s path, however. A [[Magistery]] party came across what could only be described as an experiment, apparently put in place by [[Mordenkainen]] that had resulted in a group of [[Troll| Trolls]] gaining limited intelligence, adopting a young red dragon wyrmling, naming it Garnet, and then becoming encrusted (along with [[Garnet]] and the cave in which they lived) with living gems. 

Due to overzealous truth-telling, and a terrible misunderstanding, the party was forced to eliminate the [[Troll| Trolls]] in self-defense. They were able however, to harvest some of the gems, and to save and tame the young dragon [[Garnet]] (See [[Game-Summaries:4/27 Recollections]]). A return to the cave to investigate the progress of the gem investigation revealed a note from -M (who we now know as [[Mordenkainen]]) who admonished us to not destroy his experiments, should we encounter them in the future.
