Erlath
Erlath was an NPC who appeared during the
Smugglers of magic campaign.
He is a necromancer wizard and a master of the craft at that. Erlath is the one who was initially in the possession of the Necra Itlin before he tried to sneak into Bersail and got captured by the Smugglers of Magic.
When Erlath was introduced into the campaign he was on a revenge quest against the witchhunters, he had killed many witchhunters all over Porondar before coming to Bersail to try and execute some huge spell using the Necrat Itlin, which would surely take out the witchhunters but lots of people from the city itself too. The spell would have created large areas of necrotic death to create a zombie army.
Erlath had no quarrel with the party of the smugglers despite what they did to him. He only wanted his book back to be able to execute his plans against the people he hates. He only went against the party because they had taken his book (and with that the means to execute his plans). He allied with The Stolen since they had aligned goals somewhat. Erlath was defeated and Jade performed a Parafonos Blood operation on him to make sure he wouldn't be trouble in the future anymore. Erlath would still aid Jade as once he no longer could act out his plans himself, the best option was to instead teach another Necromancer as much as he could so they might do what he could not.
Erlath did these things as a revenge plot. Erlath was an evil necromancer in his youth. But later in his life he found a wife who helped him live a more peacefull life in rural porondar. When the witchhunters came and killed her for her heretical worship Erlath took up his old book the Necra Itlin again and sought revenge on all of them, no matter the cost to himself or others. He was not only angry at the witchhunters but at all those who do nothing all those who despise the wizards, tieflings, pagans and the like.
Erlath was a skilled wizard, mainly as a necromancer but secondarily he was also skilled with poison magics.
