Talk:Tyranthraxus

Aside from speculation in the 4th edition campaign guide that some of the Lost Gods might have been primordials, is there any concrete evidence that Tyranthraxus in particular was ever a primordial? It would make sense, given his association with fire and former demigod-like status, but I don't think canon bears it out enough for us to state so authoritatively. Or am I wrong? -- Rowan Earthwood 00:13, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm... upon analysis of the material you seem to be right. The Lost Gods are heavily implied to be primordials (particularly the ones already listed as such) but it isn't stated out-right that they necessarily are. So I'll remove the primordial reference for now unless more concrete information pops up.
 * You're right that it would make sense, and that's why I included it (along with the leap of logic) above. And it would be interesting, since he's lawful instead of chaotic or true neutral. But you are also correct that we probably don't have enough data to make a concrete judgment. Correcting. Niirfa-sa 09:11, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Maram of the Great Spear
Journal Entry 36 from the Pool of Radiance Adventurer's Journal is fake and should not be used as a source. The entry is never referenced in the game. Quoting from the introduction of the same Adventurer's Journal:

Not every Proclamation, Journal Entry, or Tavern Tale in this journal is actually true. Many entries are only rumors, dreams, or plain lies. Resist the temptation to read ahead in the journal; the true items may reveal information your adventurers couldn't know yet, and the false items will contain information that can lead them astray. When you've finished the game you can read through the whole journal and sport the false entries.

In short: Maram, whoever he was or wherever he is, never was The Boss of Old Phlan at all.

Yugoloth
Where is it said that Tyranthraxus is a Yugoloth? Is it just speculation?


 * I just checked the reference for him being a yugoloth, and you're right, it's never explicitly stated. I've replaced the reference with a face template. Also, please remember to sign your posts! Cronje (talk &sdot; contribs) 12:41, June 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tyranthraxus is repeatedly referred to as a daemon in Curse of the Azure Bonds, page 3. In 1st edition, that word had a specific in-game meaning: the creatures that were in 2nd and 3rd edition sources referred to as yugoloths. -- Rowan Earthwood 00:58, June 13, 2011 (UTC)

Some wrong info needs correcting
Hi there. The part about Myth Drannor and Tyranthraxus taking the body of a human (in the GOALS section) is wrong. I was with the party that met him there! He was in the body of a Storm Giant, not a human! We had the Gauntlets of Moander, the Helm of Dragons and the Amulet of Lathander, which we used to destroy the Pool of Radiance in Myth Drannor, to prevent Tyrnathraxus from possessing us and to also make sure he stayed "dead." By "dead," of course, I mean that he stayed in whatever dimension he came from! He got sucked through the pool before it collapsed. Bane seemed pretty angry at him, but we couldn't hear what Bane was saying, only Tyranthraxus' responses. It was pretty violent stuff... Bottom line - Tyranthraxus was DEFINITELY in the body of a Storm Giant, not a human. Count on it! Nb: Much later, in the HISTORY section, this tale appears to have been told almost 100% accurately. That section mentions use of the BLADE of Lathander, when in reality, my party had the AMULET of Lathander (apparently this was changed to a sword in the tabletop version). We plucked the amulet from the body of Fzoul Chembryl. It was supposed to have killed Tyranthraxus, but it just banished him, instead. Not that we were complaining... ~ User:Arrrrgh


 * Hi. It sounds like you had a lot of fun, but as I can't tell if you're serious, let alone whether you're referring to the video game or the adventure module, I can't tell what problem there might be here. I can't find the Big T in a storm giant in either source. I can confirm the amulet of lathander in the game was changed to the blade of Lathander in the module, but the wiki takes the book as the primary version. ~ BadCatMan (talk) 10:07, 19 May 2023 (UTC)
