Description

These Warlocks have commune to the Dark Ones for so long that they have gone mad. They have received Dark Gifts and have knowledge about the Dark Ones and other Great Old Ones throughout the realms and in the Astral Sea itself. Specifically, the male witches found in Barovia have the insight as to what Dark Powers has influenced the land from the Amber Temple. These Warlocks can be persuaded into sharing their knowledge, but a some insane price. Usually some oddly specific item or to accomplish some strange quest, or to solve some ridiculous riddle. Whatever the completed task maybe, the Warlock will be cryptic in the answer. These warlocks are mad with  dark powers.
