History
Emirikol had a widely varied history that was hard to pin down, with many treating his name as mere legend.

While living on the world of Nerath, Emirikol was educated in the art of shadow magic within a tower that existed simultaneously in the Prime Material plane and the Shadowfell. After his tutelage he left, only to return years later and kill his former mentor in a public duel. He went on to spend many years studying the mysterious elemental energies that welled up within the Elemental Chaos.

At some point he engaged in a six day long battle with a the storm titan named Volturnus. He used every spell he knew during this battle, even summoning demons to rend his opponent's flesh. On the sixth day he climbed atop a storm-swept rocky spur and put an end to the battle by shouting power word, kill.

When Mordenkainen proposed his theory that elemental magic was potentially the root of all other forms of magic, Emirikol called him out as delusional and put forth his own theory. Believing that most systems of magic had no meaning outside their users, depending upon them to have context, he proposed that elemental power existed apart from them &mdash; the Elemental Chaos being proof of his ideas. He realized that people unknowingly accessed the energy of that plane, observing that many spells, disciplines, evocations, and prayers either created or manipulated elemental energy &mdash; rather than being driven by that power as Mordenkainen proposed.

Eventually, after years of studying the energies of the Elemental Chaos, Emirikol came to the conclusion that harnessing elemental power in its purest form required becoming an elemental savant. Though craving the power that entailed, he understood the risks of such a transformation and was unwilling to sacrifice his mortality for it.

While on Oerth he teamed up with a group of powerful adventurers to steal a powerful artifact from Asmodeus called the vallis crystal. Afterwards they went their separate ways, but of the group only he and a paladin named Klysandral would be remembered.

He later engaged another powerful wizard, named Tinnestron, in a battle upon the tip of a narrow peninsula called Point Harrow. The magical power they unleashed there resulted in continuous storm of strange magical destruction. This destroyed Point Harrow and many assumed both of the wizards too. But Emirikol survived and went on to construct within the eye of that storm a fortress of pure iron with a crystal spire resting atop it, the latter of which measured from top to base.

Rumors & Legends
Throughout various points of his life rumors circulated that Emirikol had in his possession one of the orbs of dragonkind, the Codex of the Infinite Planes, and the Machine of Lum the Mad''. By the late-15 century DR, Emirikol was rumored to possess the eye of Vecna and an orb of dragonkind.
