'''Arzial''', known as the Blooded Baron, is a minor [[Demon lord (Dungeons & Dragons)|demon lord]] of Subterfuge, master of the Barony of Vulderpayne in the [[Abyss (Dungeons & Dragons)|Abyss]], in the ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'' [[roleplaying game]]. |
|||
==Publication history== |
|||
Arzial was first mentioned in the adventure "The Ruins of Nol-Daer" in ''[[Dungeon (magazine)|Dungeon]]'' #13 (September/October 1988).<ref>McCleskey, HL. "The Ruins of Nol-Daer." ''[[Dungeon (magazine)|Dungeon]]'' #13. Lake Geneva, WI: TSR, 1988</ref> |
|||
Arzial received further details in third edition in ''[[Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss]]'' (2006).<ref name="FC1">[[James Jacobs (game designer)|Jacobs, James]], [[Erik Mona]], and Ed Stark. ''[[Fiendish Codex I: Hordes of the Abyss]]''. Renton, WA: Wizards of the Coast, 2006</ref> Arzial was mentioned briefly in [[Graz'zt]]'s entry in "The Demonimicon of Iggwilv" series in ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' #360 (2007).<ref name="Dragon360">[[James Jacobs (game designer)|Jacobs, James]]. "Demonomicon of Iggwilv: Graz'zt." ''[[Dragon (magazine)|Dragon]]'' #360. Renton, WA: Wizards of the Coast, 2007. Available online. [http://wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dragon]</ref> |
|||
==Description== |
|||
Arzial is a cambion, born of the demon prince [[Graz'zt]] and a presumably human woman. The least accomplished of Graz'zt's many children, Arzial still has a vital role in Graz'zt's schemes. |
|||
==Relationships== |
|||
Arzial's father is Graz'zt, making him the half-brother of [[Athux]], [[Belyara]], [[Iuz]], [[Rule-of-Three]], and [[Thraxxia]] and the grandson of [[Pale Night]]. He has a close relationship with a female wizard known as [[Demara]] the Enchantress, whose half-fiendish son [[MacDaer]] Arzial fostered for fifty years, teaching him magic and the ways of the Abyss. The exact relationship between Demara, Arzial, and MacDaer is unclear; Arzial could be MacDaer's father, brother, or no true relation at all. |
|||
==Realm== |
|||
Vulderpayne is remote, but still important to Graz'zt. It is located in Pazunia, the Plain of Infinite Portals, a harsh realm of iron fortresses and deep pits that act as portals leading to the lower planes of the Abyss. ''Fiendish Codex I'' actually says that Arzial's barony is within Graz'zt's realm of Azzagrat,<ref name="FC1"/> while the ''[[Demonomicon of Iggwilv]]'' article by [[James Jacobs (game designer)|James Jacobs]] placed it in Pazunia.<ref name="Dragon360"/> Perhaps Vulderpayne contains a portal to Azzagrat, which would explain Graz'zt's desire to keep it under his control. |
