Akhlaur was a powerful conjurer and necromancer who lived in Halruaa during the mid–12th century DR.[1][2][note 1]
Activities[]
Akhlaur was only interested in increasing his power by researching dangerous magic. He eventually summoned a laraken that was beyond his control and he was taken against his will back to the creature's native plane.[1]
Akhlaur's disappearance left a permanent gateway open to the Elemental Plane of Water, causing an unending flow of water to pour forth into the area known as Akhlaur's Swamp. Akhlaur's Tower, which contained a wealth of magic items, was also found here.[1]
Possessions[]
This powerful conjurer was rumored to own magical items that most wizards only dreamed about, leading to a steady supply of adventurers delving deep into Akhlaur's Swamp with hopes of finding priceless treasure.[1]
History[]
In their youth, Ahklaur and Zalathorm Kirkson worked together to develop a spell that granted them both everlasting life.[3]
Aklhaur was rescued in 1373 DR thanks to the efforts of the wild elf magehound Kiva and the sorceress Tzigone.[4] After being released from the portal, Aklhaur launched an attack against Halruaa, triggering the Wizardwar. During the battle, Ahklaur faced Zalathorm, and they killed each other.[3]

Notes[]
- ↑ While Akhlaur was originally stated and statted to be a conjurer in The Shining South (1993), the novel The Magehound makes him a necromancer and Shining South (2004) follows suit. While this may retcon the existing lore, he is not given a necromancer class and his exploits are still based on conjuration magic. Therefore, this article presumes he is a conjurer who also practiced necromancy.
