Talk:Larloch

Copyright violations
The following text in this article is verbatim from Lords of Darkness, page 162: "If pressed in combat or bored with a situation, Larloch prefers to disappear, either with greater teleport, etherealness, or a custom spell that allows him to walk through walls". From a glance, it appears that there are a lot more violations as well. I'll fix some of it, but we should really re-work this whole page. 00:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
 * A fix to the page would definitely be welcome. Having reviewed the article history and the source material, I don't think the article needs to be deleted and recreated, so a thorough editing should do the trick. Fw190a8 17:09, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Novels with Larloch?
Is anyone familiar with any novels that portray Larloch? I know the Shandril Shessair trilogy quickly portrays him when a Netherese spell-wraith turns its attention to him, but otherwise I've seen nothing at all. I'd like to add him to a fanfic I'm in the process of writing. Gabeth 00:14, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The short story "Tears So White" in Realms of the Elves includes Larloch and some of his recent maneuverings, it's rather quite interesting! Zerak talk 08:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

DnD4 / Spellplaque?
Is Larloch still around after the Spellplaque?

King of Shadows?
I've played NWN2 from beginning to end (all three games), and I don't recall any mention of Larloch, particularly not in connection with the King of Shadows. What's up with the disambiguation? StarSword 17:52, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The disambiguation is to resolve the fact that Shadowking and King of Shadows are very similar names. King of Shadows does not redirect here, nor does Larloch redirect to KoS. I fail to see a problem. Shadowking redirects here, rather to King of Shadows, and so I put the disambiguation page to make sure that there was no confusion.
 * Oddly, my attempt seems to have backfired. Niirfa-sa 06:59, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I have attempted to make it even clearer with this edit but if it's felt this is going too far, it can be reverted. Fw190a8 (talk &middot; contr) 13:03, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Why are there books from Sword of Truth series listed as his works? o_O

Homebrew
As stated by an Unknown User, "This section is the invention of a fan, Jaerom Darkwind, on the ENWorld boards and has no basis in actual lore." and a huge section of this page is copied directly from his webpage: [] and appears to be homebrewed... I suggest deleting the passages. The original page was copied by User:86.154.149.169 in May 29, 2007... so either it is fan made or copied from a sourcebook... any thoughts? Darkwynters (talk) 23:25, November 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * A few years ago, I made a complete set of canon notes on the character, and none of this is mentioned in them. Unless some stuff appeared in a Dragon/Dungeon Magazine I don't have access to, or in 4th edition lore, I doubt it's canon.
 * As someone noted above, at least one of the books he supposedly wrote, Book of Inversion and Duplex, is nicked from the Sword of Truth series (http://sot.wikia.com/wiki/Book_of_Inversion_and_Duplex), so I'd call it homebrewed. Unfortunately, Jaerom Darkwind's homebrew writeup has been copied across the net, and here, to the point that some fans have taken it as true. Sigh. I should probably rework this page when I have a chance. -- BadCatMan (talk) 02:06, November 22, 2012 (UTC)

BadCat, cool... I could remove the copied material, but since you know the character better, I'll let you take care of "cleaning" him up :) Darkwynters (talk) 19:26, November 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * I'll have to re-familiarise myself first. I never ended up actually using him. Okay, in preparation, I've removed some the more obvious copied, non-canon material. -- BadCatMan (talk) 00:48, November 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've begun rewriting. Much of this was still copied from either that Jaerom Darkwind write-up, or from write-ups in the sourcebooks, and other weird stuff that I can't find a source for, like the telepathic webs and overminds, at least not in obvious places. After pruning it back, there's not much of an article left. So I'll put a plagiarism notice on it for now and will delete and reconstruct when I'm done. -- BadCatMan (talk) 08:09, December 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've deleted the former article and recreated it with clean and accurate material and what I've expanded on so far. It's still a big work in progress, and I have many more sections to work on. This is the most famous Realms thing I've yet worked on. -- BadCatMan (talk) 03:58, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
