Kalid-Ma
Sorcerer King of Kalidnay, believed to have been killed by Borys, Kalak and Hamanu. Is presently trapped in Ravenloft in a comatose state by his high templar Thakok-An. A psionic artifacts of Athas states that, if the orbs of Kalid Ma can be united, the sorcerer monarch will be reborn.
History DC 30: Kalid-Ma was once a powerful sorcerer-king and the ruler of the city-state of Kalidnay. At the height of his power, he was at least as powerful as Hamanu of Urik. None of the other sorcerer-kings dared to oppose him. However, most people think Kalid-Ma was destroyed in a mysterious catastrophe, along with the rest of his city-state, some centuries ago.
Arcana DC 39: Although few records of the incident remain, around the time when disaster struck Kalidnay, a mighty dragon swept out of the south, It began laying waste to all in its path. Unlike the Dragon of Tyr, this immense creature seemed to be made partially of living shadow, a being of darkness and defiling magic that flew right out of nightmare.
This dragon was, in fact, Kalid-Ma. When Thakok-An tampered with the sorcerer-king’s transformation ritual, the shadow magic she employed indeed hastened the draconic change. Her meddling also shunted all local beings, including Kalid-Ma’s human body, into the Gray along with a shadow copy of Kalidnay. As the shadowfall intensified and his material form went into the Gray, Kalid-Ma’s dark emotions, darker spirit, and the shadow magic of Thakok-An’s spells combined. The sorcerer-king became a dragon of spirit and shadow, absent all reason, in the natural world.
For weeks, the insane Kalid-Ma rampaged across Athas until Kalak of Tyr, Hamanu of Urik, and Borys of Ebe combined their forces to slay him. However, unknown to the sorcerer-kings, Kalid-Ma was not fully defeated. Since Kalid-Ma’s physical body had been dragged into the Gray, the death of his dragon form failed to put an end to his existence. Instead, his consciousness became trapped in a multipart artifact known as the Orbs of Kalid-Ma.
