Pandor The Amorphous
https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items/rod-of-absorptionPandor The Amorphous, an occult adventurer and a self-made nobleman running a vineyard off Waterdeep. Stories of his adventuring tell of uncanny eldrich magic being wielded by this mysterious halfling. However, little is known of the origins of his power or even the man himself. Rumour has it, Pandors powers are ancient and dark in nature, can drive the bravest bandits mad or consume their entire bodies in seconds. Although he is eccentric and occasionally foul, his magical nature did not prevent him from fitting in and feeling at ease amongst Waterdeeps upper class. DnDBeyond
Notoriety:
- Pandor is known for having banished a dragon at the pillaging of Nesme.
- For having battled Stormweaver and dragon cult at the Whalebone Islands
- For selling most uncanny and yet somehow nostalgically delicious wine east of Waterdeep.
- Sailors of the north speak of one named Pandor who was taken by the Beast that Lurks, also called Kraken, and survived.
Life Story:
Backstory:
Known by his true name as Pandor Brownfeather, was once a young commoner obsessed with undercommon lore. After reading of an ancient forgotten Drow Shrine in the woods near his village, he set out to explore it. However, the shrine was not abandoned at all, and he did not realise he's rummaging through a lair of a nomadic warlock of Ghaunadaur. A fight ensued, and although Pandor was no match against the warlock, a quick reaction and a lucky tackle sent both of them falling in front of an alter. The warlocks head hit the hard stone and blood spilt out. Pandor did not realise this at a time but as he stared at the blood on his hands, someone, or something... was looking at him. A small eye, engraved into a purple marble of the alter. An altar covered with symbols and letters unknown. Pandor could not bear what he has done and fled. And as he ran through the forest, deep in his heart he felt it... darkness, a hunger... consumption that is now inside him, part of him... This corruption cannot be brought home to his loved ones. The only thing left to do is find a way to cleanse it... or... feed it.Life:
- Started adventuring at a young age (19 I think)
- Was captured by Dragon cult, fought a Dragon, took a black pearl.
- Travelled to Waterdeep, met Salty, participated in a heist, was seen once.
- Travelled to Whalebones, met Stardrinker, king, freed orcs, made friends with wolfs and the Drow princess etc. Learned animate dead.
- Went onto underdark:
- Fought lord of the ghouls, and stormweaver
- Wowed a vendetta against a Vampire wanna-be Litch. This Val Ichor now holds red teleportation gem that is linked to blue one that Pandor holds. Pandor promised to kill Val, perhaps this way these powers he has can be used for good.
- At the den of Stormweaver, adventurers have discovered the Deck of Many things... Pandor drew cards that: (Aged by 30 years +3 wis, -3Dex) (+alchemy proficiency and standing with a guild) (- All magic Items + 50k gold)
- After receiving some news, Pandor and his old party went hunting of stolen legendary artefacts

- Returned a trident, got his crops blessed
- Returned a hammer, received master crafted armour +2

- After hearing news of Dragon cultists attacking settlements and villages and receiving an invitation to attend a gathering on the Situation, The party set out to Waterdeep.
- Party set off north to find Arauthator "Old White Death"
- During the trip, Pandor was taken by the Kraken and the depths of water helped him commune with his Patron for the first time.
- See secrets for convo
- Pandor accepted the offer and the Kraken was repelled. Pando's powers changed, he became Pandor The Amorphous
- The parties trip to the sea of moving ice proved fruitful. They have defeated the great white death. Episode 1: The Great White Death And learned that dragon cult uses some irresistable persuasion to convince dragons to collaborate. We know the drakkenhorn was taken by the cult this way.
- As part of the mission the party also recovered some natural knowledge tomes from the frog peoples. The wizard tower in Lushkan are thankful for them and owe us a favour.
- After arriving to Waterdeep, Pandor established a connection at an auction house and is selling some items through it. Will also try to get items he is looking for this way too.
- Pandor and Alvin have went on a short adventure to investigate a sighting of an Iron dragon. Turns out it was a mechanical dragon, created by some crazy wizard. They have managed to recover the mechanical dragon and it is stored in Chateau de Pandor
- Upon another adventure the party were investigating some turned druid helping the cult. They have ceized few cult members and defeated the druid. Sylvan died in the process.
- Received letter: Dear Pandor, I hope this letter finds you well. First I owe you my thanks, and apologies, but I am returning the coin which you 'graciously lent me' long ago. I have since fallen on my feet and have been working for the Neverwinter government for the past year. If you ever pass through Neverwinter feel free to drop in to see me. Good wishes, Gilliam Thornbury P.s. I may be in waterdeep in Flamerule, maybe I can buy you a drink.
- News from Thunderspells: Black pearl - Originates from the Dismal Caverns, a dark and evil plane of existence. The afterlife of beholders, illithuds and troglodytes. Seems to be similar to Avernus's soul coins., but can be expended on spells from before the spell plague. Taern has not seen one of these before. The soul held belongs to a deep gnome who was adept in magic, possible a sorcerer or cleric. He comments of the stone being of great value but only to whoever knows how to use it.
Quests:
- My patron instructed me to pursue and defeat Shadow Atlas - some unknown eldrich power/person. I know Shadow Atlas caused the happenings of Whale Bones by teaching the wizard foul magics. I don't know if my patron is any better but at least I do not see ghaunaudar interfering with lives of good peoples the same way Shadow Atlas did. I will find them and I will learn as much as I can about my pact before defeating them.
- Pursue Dragon Cult. Ghaunaudar has cursed me with a hunger. Hunger that can be briefly calmed by devouring the powerful and the arrogant. Such as the cult. I can continue make my way into this world, build my estate and status in society and among the factions by helping my friends to defeat the dragon cult. At the same time, it will buy me time to find the Shadow Atlas.
Projects:
- Build up Chateau de Pandor . I don't want it to look like a stronghold, but I do want it to act like one. The mechanical dragon is a step in the right direction
- Items I am hunting for in the auction: Tome of Leadership and Influence,Rod of Absorbtion, Rod of the Pact Keeper +2, Elven Chain, Broom of Flying, Someone to teach me how to control my magics better (Metamagic adept feat)

History
- Pandor wrecked Vals Waterdeep Zombie making crib
- Val killed Pandor a bit in forrests of Whale bone
- Val bested Pandor by showing up when the party is weak and taking the litch-thingie.
- !Pandor gave Val a teleportation stone and wowed to find and kill him one day.
Relationship Reasoning
Pandor feels constantly outbested by Val. He also feels Val is trully evil and pursuing evil power. Whilst Pandor is a good person forced into evil power. Perhaps killing Val, Pandor could prove to himself that he is good? Or perhaps Pandor wishes he could let himself pursue his own power in the same way... Perhaps... Pandor is just jealous.
History
Pandors patron has asked to destroy this "Shadow Atlas". Pandor has heard of him only as a mysterious source of uncanny dark magics. Pandor is intrigued to learn more of this magic and of this power. Although Ghaunaudar is no fairy himself, using powers of Ooze to devour another dark empire is a no-brainer. Pandor will not hold back and perhaps even enjoy melting away someone as corrupted as Atlas likely is.
