Glendar

Glendar was a wizard, specifically an archmage, and later lich.

Personality
Glendar was known to be a rather good and noble man in life. But he had a hatred for basilisks and medusae.

Activities
Glendar spent much of his life serving as a patron for adventurers.

History
The wizard's hatred of basilisks and medusae led him to develop the rod of mirrors, also known as a wand of magical mirrors, and went on to create twenty of them.

Later in life Glendar turned towards evil and became a lich. He was ultimately destroyed by some of the adventurers he had formerly sponsored.

His rods of mirrors continued to survive across the Realms following his destruction, falling into treasure caches or coming into the possession of powerful wizards. By 1372 DR, the means of creating a rod of mirrors had been rediscovered and it was quite well known of in the Realms.
