Taragorn is the demon prince of lycanthropes and the ruler of The Rimemire, the 19th layer of the abyss. Like Yeenaghou, he encourages his followers to succumb to hunger and rage and to lay waste to those less powerful than him. Taragorn is not as intelligent or charismatic as more well known daemon lords, such as Pazuzu or Demogorgon. He is still more accomplished and learned than most humanoids, making him deceptively persuasive and tactical to his enemies. Taragorn will view even a high level party as merely food for him and his followers. If the players catch his eye, he will attempt to pray on the lowest Wisdom member of the team, offering them supernatural strength. If the gift is accepted, the player will become cursed, to slowly transform into a mindless, endlessly hungering monster. If the party are captured in The Rimemire, he will offer them their freedom, if they can evade re-capture, while he hunts them across the tundra. Of course, Taragorn is as noble as he is polite, and will inevitably attempt to cheat and will be intelligent enough to have precautions preventing the party from planeshifting. Taragorn is allied with the demon prince Baphomet and is an enemy of the demon prince Kostchtchie. His forces will battle with Kostchtchie's over the 70th layer, the Ice Floe. |
