The Abbot
Custom Development
The Abbot is actually Lander Windriver, a Light Domain Cleric from a previous adventure, the events of which occured hundreds of years in the past. Upon his original mortal death he was made into a Deva, and for the past century has been the keeper of the Abbey of St. Markovia.
The only evidence of the Abbot's connection to his past is a Stone Carving of a Walrus that he keeps as a momento of his mortal life. The carving can be found during a search of S17, along with:
- Empty wine bottles
- Scraps of food
- Some surgical equipment
- Soiled monk's robes
- A Manual of Flesh Golems (DMG p. 180)
The Manual can't be used by the party (they don't have enough magical power), and an attempt to read it will deal 6d6 psychic damage.
