Lords of Darkness 1 - The Fugitive V3. Did you think that you could cage a power of the planes? No response. Cease this now. Still nothing. Nolaloth's sulking. That got his attention. Nolaloth's a crystal dragon, which could mean any number of things.

There are two kinds of dragon: chromatic and metallic. Chromatic dragons are red, black, blue, green and white, and they're all Evil; metallics are gold, silver, bronze, copper and brass, and they're all Good-aligned. Which isn't to say they aren't just as big assholes as chromatic dragons. Those are the 'core' dragons, but there's a legion of apocryphal ones as well: purple dragons, brown dragons, deep dragons, mist dragons, shadow dragons, ferrous dragons Gem dragons were the Neutral dragon type, again with five species: amethyst, emerald, sapphire, topaz and crystal.

Crystal dragons, by the way, are Chaotic Neutral; they're friendly and curious, preferring to talk rather than fight. They're the weakest of all the gem dragons and of all dragons of all kinds as well but I don't think most of that applies to Nolaloth, who's more than just an ordinary crystal dragon.

Or maybe Obsidian had a nice idea for a dragon spirit and just went with it. Know that if he is not st- : This changes things. You may settle with "Nolaloth. There's a couple of ways this could go. We could lie and say we're from the Illefarn Empire, and we've come to resurrect Nolaloth, but our healers are too busy with the King of Shadows to help him.

That cheers him up quite a bit Otherwise he gets a bit tetchy. But I've done too much Chaotic stuff recently bargaining with Mephasm for one so we'll tell the truth. I have waited for them for thousands of years. And instead I have been abandoned, left to languish in this insignificant crack in the world. Here's the other main choice we make. Admitting we know Ammon Jerro also angers Nolaloth, and you have to explain why Ammon Jerro is trustworthy now not that he is, really.

It's not actually a big deal. Because Nolaloth's a required step on the plot progression path, it's not possible for us to actually upset him enough that he refuses to help.

It's an unfortunate piece of railroading but let's be honest: seeking wisdom from a massive ancient dragon-ghost is pretty fucking cool. I can forgive Obsidian for that. He asked me questions about my past and what happened long ago, and then left. Tell me about your battle with it. Ask your questions. Whatever your histories or seers have told you, know that I helped because I was promised the riches of the Illefarn Empire.

Now that's a bit strong. Remember, we first heard about the 'crystal dragon' back in the ruins of Arvahn - one of the spirits in the Gem Mines was there at the final battle against the King of Shadows. They admired him, yes, but you don't really have much choice with dragons. It's awe or nothing. Mine is not deceitful, as it were. Is that perhaps what you are trying to do now? Oops, a smart remark too far, I think. There's an interesting comparison to be made between Nolaloth and the King of Shadows.

It's all about how we treat our dead. Their once defender, known only as the Guardian, had been corrupted and transformed into the shadowy being that haunts you today.

It's not a tremendously complicated dichotomy: Nolaloth is good undead, King of Shadows is bad undead. The path that you followed marks the tail.

And here you find a wide bowl shaped valley marking the torso. In the middle is the Crystal Heart, which radiates powerful energy. After his defeat by the King of Shadows, the Illefarn empire bound his spirit to the Prime Material Plane with the promise of restoring him. Unfortunately, when Illefarn also fell to the King of Shadows, the means of restoring Nolaloth went with them.
