Xyryxyr the Insomniac

The utterly alien creatures called beholders are naturally xenophobic, paranoid, and self-obsessed; None more so than the creature calling itself Xyryxyr that dwelled far below the surface in its own private sanctum in Abrynthel-Kast.

Xyryxyr carved out the chamber and the contents of a large spire to serve at its nest, for what reason we will never be sure. What is known is that Xyryxyr was plagued by horrid dreams that tortured it, so much so that Xyryxyr created a device to capture these night terrors and release himself from torment.

How successful it was, or the nature of these dreams, is unknown.

When the Dreamcatcher was destroyed, something leaked out of it and spoke in the minds of the party in a barely intelligible whisper:

Now comes the King in Chains. Long may he reign.
