Agerth

## Arnigithorgextim the unstitcher of wounds, the scarring of the dark and the wretched mildew of the damned

**Agerth** is a Devil who was held in a ornate silver mirror for an age. He was freed with the help of Idril.

## Description

### Appearance

Agerth has only been glimpsed as black eyes in the mirror on occasion by Idril. His appearance in the tunnels at Eastern Downs was so rapid that a form was not discerned, although he left a fiery impression

### Personality and alignment

Unknown. Was trapped in the mirror for showing mercy to a young girl that had made a deal, he freed her of her obligation to him and was imprisoned as a result

## Skills and traits

Since his release Idril has gained the ability to speak Infernal (although she lost the ability to speak celestial) and has granted her certain spells that she could not previously cast. This enabled her to save Valdis in the ensuing battle.

Upon his release he attacked Arron Greyfield, immediately reducing him to dust on the ground.

## Home

For the past 10,000 years or so he has resided, trapped in a mirror with an inscription that read (in infernal) "Encased in this mirror lies Arnigithorgextim the unstitcher of wounds, the scarring of the dark and the wretched mildew of the damned, encased for their crimes of mercy"

He was freed on the 20th of Binary by Idril, who took him as her deity changing clerical domains. He immediately burned Arron Greyfield in Hellfire before departing Eastern Downs, presumably travelling to Mistdark.

## Relationships

### Enemies

After the destruction of Arron Greyfield Agerth planned to destroy Dencier who, with Grinkvil had used Agerth to help build a Waystone to Hastur but not allowed his release from the mirror.

He also has some remaining issues with a triton cult that had kept the mirror for over 2500 years and hadn't released him

## History

Agerth's only known history is that given to Idril while he remained trapped in the mirror. It remains to be seen what, if any, of this information is "truth":

Agerth was orignially a mortal, born in line to rule a Nindus kingdom, back when Randore was young. The dwarves had just arrived in Bacland and the elves just departed. He sold his soul for the power to take his mother's throne. He was King for a time until his throat was slit by his son, using the same shadowed blade Agerth had used on his mother. He died aged 47.

As a devil Agerth made a deal with a young woman, who wanted power to right wrongs that had been done to her. Over time she ceased to use the power for herself but for something bigger than herself and when the time came for her to pay her due Agerth released her from her bond.

He was thus summoned before the 13 judges of hell. As his crime was mercy he was also shown mercy. He was trapped in a mirror by an immortal devil,Belial, destined to rule the fourth circle of hell. The ruling stated that should he ever find someone to release him he would be forgiven his crimes. He was imprisoned in around 6,500 or more than 10,000 years ago. The mirror was given to the woman, released from her pact and she cast it into the sea.

From the Ocean the mirror came into the hands of a Triton cult, but they had little use for him, already having a patron. when they were slaughtered by a Kraken the mirror rested there for many years, eventually surfacing and passing from hand to hand until eventually landing with Grinkvil.
