He can also specialize in any weapon of his
choosing and he can wear any armor and cast wizard spells (spells and magic supplement)
but cannot cast wizard spells with a sword. He also takes 1/2 damage from any weapon that
could hurt him (this applies to weapons only).
After killing millions in his conquest to take
over Faerun, Nithanul was forced to fight several avatars, demi-gods, lesser gods, greater
gods, and powerful heroes of the Realms in order to complete his goal of ruling all of the
Forgotten Realms. After Destroying all of his enemies (as listed above) the powerful god
known as Ao sent Nithanul to the Domains of Dread (better known as the Ravenloft campaign
setting). It was in Ravenloft where Nithanul gained far more power than he ever could in
Faerun. It was here, where he made a special elixir that would turn him into a very
powerful being known as a lich. But this elixir he made was not the normal potion or
formula used to turn one into a lich (see Monstrous Manual I, II, or Monstuous
Compendium for more info) he tweeked it. He added some rather unique components and
spells in order to not just turn him into a lich but a combination Lich \ Death Knight \
Vampire \ Mummy \ Abashi. With some divine help (the DM and his deity) he was turned into
a unique form of lich (combination lich \ greater mummy) with only powers and limitations
of both however. He became a unique form of undead. With his new found abilities it did
not take him long to attract the attention of the dark powers (see Domains of Dread
source book for more info). The dark powers granted him even more abilities but twisted
his mind into turning against all of creation. After escaping Ravenloft (by means of a
wierd machine created by some hag) he returned to Faerun this time not in hopes of
conquering it but this time bent on its total destruction. Nithanul created a very
powerful form of Tarrasque using remains of one he had slain. This new Tarrasque he called
the Paragon Tarrasque which was more powerful than he was!
The Paragon Tarrasque ended up Destroying Faerun (for it was near impossible for any
mortal to kill and impossible to be killed by any god). Because of Nithanul's evil ways,
he was transported back to Ravenloft and was given his own little pocket domain that
resembled Faerun in every aspect but the irony the dark powers bestowed upon him (or curse
as other player's and DM's call it) was that no matter how powerful he was he could never
quite rule or destroy Faerun thus putting him in his own private Hell.... For Now!
