Gwydion the Sorcerer-Fiend

This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
Gwydion the Sorcerer-Fiend was the Darklord of Arak. In 740 BC as part of the Great Upheaval, Niurin Scaa, the kindgom of shadow fey hidden beneath the surface of Arak, was dragged away to the southwest by Gwydion. The land of Arak ceased to be and the Land of the Mists tore open beyond Tepest. The Shadow Rift, sealed by roiling black mist, was the new land of the Arak with Gwydion as is Darklord.
Stats
Errata
Gwydion's saves (Fortitude +36 Reflex +34 Will +35) does not seem correct. He’s an outsider, so his base saves are 2+HD/2 = 2+24=26. Now add his ability modifiers (Co 29 (+9); Dex 17 (+3) and Wis 35 (+9)) and you get Fort +35, Ref +29, Will +35 (Error spotted by fan, possible correction suggested)
