Durshult

Durshult the Mage, also known as Durshult the Doomweaver, was a mage who was active several centuries before the mid–14 century DR.
An infamous "spellslinger", Durshult made a living by challenging other mages to spell battles and, when victorious, stealing all their magic.
At last, however, Durshult lost a duel to another mage, reported to be either the sorceress Haleera Shundyl in a sorcerous duel fought in Baldur's Gate, or the Archwizard of the Castle in the Clouds, Rarimmon Tlarn. The victor then polymorphed Durshult into the humiliating form of a wingless wonder. For some decades after, it became a fad among mages to trap their defeated foes in wonder form.In very similar stories, Menzoberranzan: The City (1992), page 94, says Durshult the Mage was defeated and turned into a wonder by Haleera Shundyl, while Secrets of the Magister (2000), page 29, says Durshult the Doomweaver was turned into a wonder after being defeated by Rarimmon Tlarn. It is unclear which this should be. While it is possible these are alternative or changed versions, it is also possible Durshult was defeated by Rarimmon, then defeated by Haleera, then turned into a wonder by Haleera.
