Council of Cerberus

The **Council of Cerberus** are a secretive organisation that function in and around Maygar's Hill and Waycrest in the Border Kingdoms.

After Pew the Pied was defeated in battle on his person a note was found which stated that he was seeking the Three Relics of Feohorn and that all three heads of the Council of Cerberus were watching. Word was to be sent to Maygar's Hill if anything was found.

In a vision delivered to him in a dream Clerebold Quentin was told that the Council of Cerberus are working for the Rosarian Royal Magus Lyrei Ravanelis. They in turn appear to have coerced several tribes of goblins to unite under the banner of the Brotherhood of Free Goblins.

## Members

In Clerebold's vision he was told that the Council of Cerberus were working to obtain the Relics of Feohorn for Lyrei, and he was shown the three of them in turn. He was told that he must work to kill the three heads of the Cerberus one by one in order to shatter the army of goblins they had been assembling, and that the best way would be to infiltrate them, potentially using Grugs to do so.

Doing this would allow enough time for the others to obtain the Relics of Feohorn before Lyrei.

### Ghazuul

A great red scaled man in smoking gold trim armour, with his hand resting on the mane of a monstrous winged creature with the head of a lion and spikes protruding from its tail. It was said that if Ghazuul, the dragon hunter, could be killed the rest of the Council should scatter like dust in the wind. Imra stated that Ghazuul is half-dragon as a result of being blessed by Tiamat. Ghazuul's manticore stated that they planned to burn a portion of Carolyn Bearskin's Nature First Reserve, and he made a comment about not needing her help any more once he found the Sword of Maygar Wayfinder. Ghazuul was killed in combat by Clerebold, Estrid Stormbringer, and Karo Amakiir at Maygar's Hill.

### Imra Balfiel

A blonde elf maiden with her black cat Salem on her shoulder. Vain, gregarious, easily amused, and easier to find than the Viper. Imra Balfiel is a member of the Mages of Saruun, but it is thought she does not allow them to know the other company that she keeps. Along with the Viper she has been making secretive contact with people of influence in Waycrest. She arrived in Waycrest on the Giant Trading Turtle. She was knocked unconscious by a black tendril following a failed attempt to open an infernal puzzle box. She and the Viper attempted to ambush the party that defeated Ghazuul at the Merchant Port but they did not manage to maintain the element of surprise and she was ultimately captured, although she was broken out of captivity days later.

### The Viper

The Viper is a hooded figure made almost entirely of smoke. Katoo stated she could not see him clearly in her visions. He avoids being known and allows his partners to do the talking for him. Along with Imra he has been making secretive contact with people of influence in Waycrest. He teleported an unconscious Imra away from Maygar's Hill to avoid battle with the party, leaving Ghazuul to fight alone. He and Imra attempted to ambush the party that defeated Ghazuul but they did not manage to maintain the element of surprise and he was forced to teleport away again, leaving Imra to fend for herself.
