THE MADNESS OF THE EXECUTIONER (Patreon)

Hail and well met!

Today, join us for the very first installment of our short story series! Keeping with the illithid theme to acknowledge the newest 5e adventure's BBEG, today we peek into a vignette set in Athkatla, beginning with a man tasked with a grisly deed in service to a mind flayer, and ending with a surprise appearance from one of the prime movers in the Realms!

This story is for the truly dedicated Realms fans out there. Don't worry if you have difficulty recollecting some of the references or names of things contained in this story. Our goal was to keep it as authentic and atmospheric as possible, but we encourage folks to look up what an "Alhoon" or an "iyael" is, if it is your first introduction to such things (and we acknowledge that the FR Wiki is a wonderful resource for such things).

Thank you for your patronage, and we hope you enjoy THE MADNESS OF THE EXECUTIONER.
