Xul's machinations
Crusty old Dwarves tell of the drow cities beneath the Krimppatu Mountains, but few Svimohz pay them any heed, for the drow have had little contact with the people of the outside world for many years. As such, most Svimohz are also unlikely to care about a combined force of dark elves and illithids wreaking havoc on the small towns and villages near the Krimppatus. Unfortunately, this just might happen soon, for a small but growing segment of the illithid population has just that plan in mind.
Ruling over this particular group of mind flayers is Xul, a rotting elder brain, the death lord of the illithid, attended by its brood of mind flayer servitors and minions. Xul plans to enslave the Underdark races, one community at a time, then turning his attention to the surface races.
Xul hungers for conquest and craves a return of mind flayer dominance in the planes. Corrupted by subterranean energies and his own matchless evil, he subsists on the brains of drow, Dwarves and others that his minions obtain. Rotting in a pool of black fluid, he senses the surface world, watching the upstart humans with a quiet and simmering anger.
Currently, Xul keeps several illithid followers in Meznamish, hoping to capture the mind of King Warven II. This, Xul believes, will weaken the humans and allow screaming hordes of drow allies, grimlocks and worse to boil up out of the ground and take the island for their own. Unfortunately, Xul is quite mad.
Xul currently resides beneath the Krimppatu Mountains. If he were somehow transported to tunnels beneath Meznamish, the damage he could do might be incalculable.
