Trio Nefarious The Trio Nefarious or Khov ' Anilessa in elven , were three greater Nycaloth s summoned by the netherese archwizard Aldlas Sodhese who had heard that the Nether Scrolls lay somewhere in Cormanthor . His plan was to use the Yugoloths to wreak havoc among the elves as a distraction while searching for the scrolls . History . Aulmpiter was a master strategist , Malimshaer a stealthy warrior and Gaulguth a terrible berserker . While in the Blood Rift , they all served under the fallen Solar Malkizid but the trio would argue and compete against each other almost constantly . Conversely , in destroying the Elven villages they were single - minded and , under the direction of Aulmpiter , wiped out whole tribes of satyrs and centaurs and at least two green dragon s . Aldlas believed that he had complete control over all three of them , though he was actually being manipulated into that belief by Aulmpiter . The four together were unstoppable until they came within a few hundred yards of Cormanthyr where the Elves had arrayed an organized army . The battle lasted for a whole day but eventually Gaulguth and Malimshaer were almost slain , Aulmpiter was subdued and Aldlas had been killed in a spell duel with the Grand Mage of the city . The Nycaloths were imprisoned using the " N ' Quor ' Khaor " ritual which created an invisible , undetectable subdimensional prison high above the city . The three Yugoloths were trapped there , unable to do anything at all , none of their abilities worked and all of their equipment became inert and useless . A sequencer key was set up to the the prison with the condition being that a " red dragon that never knew malice or greed in its heart flies over the Coronal ' s throne . " would release the prisoners . Floating a mile above Cormanthyr they were forced to watch as the city grew and their names were relegated to stories meant to frighten children . Army of Darkness . Over 1800 years later a mage named Saevel Ammath procured a dragon ' s egg and altered the unborn hatchlings physiognomy and innate nature . He hatched a red dragon with the physical characteristics of a blue dragon and the mixed magical natures of both . He also made sure it would be a lawful and good creature so as to be a friend of the elves . He named it Garnetallisar , Garnet for short . The two were the closest of friends and nigh inseperable , often flying above the forest to keep up to date on news from the outlying settlements . Unbeknownst to them , this act was continually weakening the prison that held the nycaloths until it was weak enough for them to shatter it . A Flind shaman , living north of the Dragon Sea enacted a summoning ritual at roughly the same time as their escape . The Yugoloths teleported to it immediately upon escaping so that none would realise that they were gone . After eight months , they had slain the shaman that summoned them after misleading him that they were under his control . They immediately set upon putting a plan into action that they had been working on for nearly two millenia . The trio organized a massive army of orc s goblinoid s , troll s , and gnoll s from Thar and the northlands , training them into strict military precision . They summoned lesser yugoloths to act as officers , creating a horde that numbered in the thousands . It was called the ' Army of Darkness ' . In a three - year long war known as the ' Weeping War ' , all of the generals on both sides of the conflict were killed . Aulmpiter was the last to die ( a mere 5 days before the end of the war ) and the remaining members of the Army , now without their leader , descended upon Myth Drannor in a rage . No tactics , just complete annihilation on their minds . Although the Trio Nefarious had been slain , they had precipitated the fall of Myth Drannor and got their revenge for being imprisoned for 1800 years . = Members = Aulmpiter . The Grand Commander and most powerful of the Trio Nefarious , Aulmpiter was the strategist of the three . Death . On Flamerule 15th , 714 DR , in the battle known as Banes ' Duel , Aulmpiter was slain in battle by Captain Fflar , five days before Myth Drannor was to fall to the remains of the army . Equipment . " Mantle Stone of Vhyridaan " was a small stone that floated around the wearers head like an ioun stone and which reflected low level spells . It also stored a limited number of spells for the caster . The stone was shattered when " Keryvian " , wielded by Fflar , made contact with the stone during Banes ' Duel , causing an explosion that killed both combatants . Gaulguth . The field commander of the Trio Nefarious , Gaulguth was a nycoloth berseker that led from the front line of the Army of Darkness . Gaulguth earned his fearful reputation by personally slaying any lesser officers who failed him ; General Khitax , a mezzoloth serving Aulmpiter directly , or one of the other Khov ' Anilessa could sometimes get him to spare the life of an underling , though he rarely did so . Death . On Hammer 29 - Midwinter , 713 DR , Gaulgath died during the battle of " The Lost Trench " at the hands of Anthan Narlgold , the half - dwarf heir to Clan Nargold . Possessions . " Heartcleaver " was a massive axe that dripped a translucent green poison . The ichor nullified healing magic attempted on any of the wounds it inflicted . The weapon lay somewhere in the ruins of Myth Drannor . Malimshaer . The nycoloth in charge of gathering information and planning surpirse attacks for the Army of Darkness . His missing right eye did not affect his duties in the slightest . Malimshaer was known for slaying a black dragon and subjugating the dragon ' s horde of orcs . Death . On Greengrass , 713 DR , Malimshaer and Gaulguth were held back by the Line of Light . While Gaulguth escaped with only the loss of his left eye and one of his left arms , Malimshaer attempted to capture Symrustar Auglamyr , an elven Chosen of Mystra , who burst into silver fire and burned away the nycoloth commander at the cost of her own life .
