Lorlucan Stonewarden

(20th September 2000 - 24th May 2001)
Originally from Rosen,
Lorlucan was a young burglar who - through a combination of good luck
and bad - ended up in the Living Citadel at the time of its' siege
by Cedron, Shadazaar, Beremoth and their immense forces. Mastering control
of a red diamond ring given him by the demonologist Moashan, he became
able to influence the Citadel and request its' help, though not always
reliably. His first real contribution to the defence of the Citadel was
the trapping and slaying of over 50,000 goblins in the underground passages
below the fortress, as well as the closure of the assault tunnels Shadizar’s
miners were making.
Ultimately, he was responsible for gaining control of the
Citadel’s ability to move in time, and 'piloted' the fortress and
the party forward in time 5,000 years. On arrival in the Future
Imperium, he found Citadel still around, now in the form of a vast
datanet which Lorlucan could tap into with his ring. He also acquired
some skill with futuristic weapons - avenging the death of Annandar
on Vargr by riddling the barman with an RSMG - and computer interfaces
to modern systems.
It became apparent that both the Imperium and the Bretonian
Federation wanted the secret of the ring, as both continued to
pursue Lorlucan across the galaxy. After the death of Kerat at the
hands of the Quall, the party returned to Greyhawk and were promptly
shot down on the surface, awaking with no equipment or possessions in
the winter caves of the Landorian barbarians. He befriended the
cultured Orc Astagard, and was very upset when he died, apparently
as a result of the predictions of Castillion the charlatan diviner and
thief. At this point, Lorlucan briefly gained possession of the armour
of Van Trek, one of Greyhawk's greatest known generals.
Along with Jeran, Moashan and the other survivors of the siege
of Citadel, Lorlucan was killed in the mysterious island
graveyard incident.
