FRAZ-URB

1

LUU

---

All demons are liars,

but Fraz-Urb'luu is the P rince of

Deception and Demon Lord of Illusio

ns. He uses every

trick, every ounce of demonic cunning,

to manipulate

his enemies- mortal

and fiend a like- to do his will.

Fraz-Urb'luu

can create dreamlands and mind-bending

fantasies

able to deceive the most discerning foes.

Once imprisoned for centu ri

es below Castle Grey-

hawk on

the world of Oerth, Fraz-Urb'luu has slowly

rebuilt

his power in the Abyss. He seeks the piece

s of

the legendary staff of power

taken from him by those

who imprisoned him, and

commands his servants to

do likewise.

The Prince of Deception's

true form is like that of a

great gargoyle, som

e 12 feet tall, with an extended, mus-

cular neck and a smiling face framed by

long, pointed

ears and lank, dark hair, and bat-like

wings a re furled

against his powerful s houlders. He

can assume othe r

forms, however,

from the hideous to the beautiful. Often

the demon lord becomes

so immersed in playing a ro

le

that he loses

himself in it for a time.

Many of the cultists of Fraz-Urb

'luu aren't even aware

they serve the Prince of Deception

, believing their

master is a beneficent being

and granter of wishes,

some lost

god or celestial, or even anothe r fiend

. Fraz-

Urb

'luu wears all these masks and more. He

particularly

delights in a iding demon-hunters

FRAZ-URB'Luu's

LAIR

Fraz-Urb'luu's la ir lies

within the abyssal realm of Hol-

low's Heart, a featureless

plain of white dust with few

structures on it. Th

e lair itself is the city of Zoragmelok,

a circular fortress surrounded by adama

ntine walls

topped with razors

and hooks. Corkscrew towers loom

above twisted domes and vast amphitheaters,

just a few

examples of the

city's impossible architecture.

The challenge rating of Fraz-Urb'luu

is 24 (62, 000 XP)

when he's encountered

in his lair.
