An athanor was an alchemical device that was used in the process of transmutation.[1]

History[]

Over the course of many years, the alhoon known as the Beast Lord used athanors of varying sizes to create twisted creatures[note 1] from the goblin population of Dekanter.[2] Eventually, it create a man-sized, egg-shaped athanor made of brass that was powered by one of the lost Nether Scrolls from the ancient empire of Netheril.[3]

Notes[]

  1. While the terms "mongrelmen" or "mongrelfolk" never appear in the The Nether Scroll novel, the story does include creatures fitting their description that were associated with Beast Lord, who historically has created mongrelmen.
