Description
Yelsew Solomon is a powerful wizard of legend haling from ages past. He is deeply dedicated to Mystra Goddess of Magic, and serves her reverently. In his past, he was a wizard of such incredible power that Mystra planned to promote him to the status of Demigod of Evocation magic. However, this plan was opposed by Velsharoon, God of Necromancy. At the time, three Gods served under Mystra, the neutral aligned Azuth and Savras, and the evil aligned Velsharoon. Because of this, Velsharoon opposed the ascension of the good aligned Solomon. In order to prevent his rise, Velsharoon cursed him with Lichdom, tainting Solomon's soul with undeath. Now Solomon actively seeks out an end to his curse in order to ascend to stand beside his beloved Goddess, but is unable to rid himself of his lichdom as Velsharoon has his Phylactery. While stuck on the material plane, to continue contributing to Mystra's domain of knowledge, Solomon runs a massive library open to the public in order to facilitate the spread of information.
Planar Librarian: Solomon has established and maintains the largest library in the material plane. The library not only serves as his lair, but also is capable of teleporting. If he is not actively researching within the library he can be found venturing the material plane, shadowfell, or feywild to gather new books and materials.
Rivalry with a God: Solomon has a deep hatred for Velsharoon and is always seeking ways to get into his fortress to try and destroy his phylactery so he can ascend to godhood. This fact has made Velsharoon even more paranoid about keeping the phylactery safe in order to avoid the creation of a new godly rival.
- If your party has allied with Solomon this serves as a possible fun late game quest line.
Adventurer Extraordinaire: Before being cursed with Lichdom, Solomon was a prolific adventure and has many stories and treasures from his days as part of a party. He handsomely rewards those who assist him in caring for his library or retrieving new research materials.
- For the sake of RP, Solomon should be treated with the same air that you would a veteran level 20 wizard.
Arcane Vision: Solomon has hundreds to thousands of years of experience as a spellcaster and is, among humanoids, unmatched in arcane might, but his constant focus on the weave and its use has caused him to be somewhat oblivious to the material realm around him.
Lair and Lair Actions
Solomon's lair is The Multiplanar Library, The greatest collection of knowledge in the Material Plane. He is not its only inhabitant as it is constantly filled with visitors seeking knowledge as well as his employees. Working under Solomon is a community of Cyclopian Wizards as well as the Assistant Archivist, a Warforged monk named Keeper. The library should be seen as an indispensable resource for any adventuring party seeking information on a future destination or enemy.
Lair Actions
On Initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Solomon can take a lair action to cause one of the following effects; he can't use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Solomon rolls a d8 and regains a 3 spell slots of that level or lower. If he has no spent spell slots of that level or lower, nothing happens.
- Solomon summons three Paper Dragons. Three books fly from the shelves before unfolding into Paper Dragons which assist Solomon in battle.
- Solomon changes the room by summoning bookshelves which can split up enemies or box them in. If a book shelf appears from above or below an enemy, they must make a Dexterity Saving Throw: DC 20 or take Hit: 28 (4d8+10) bludgeoning damage and be tossed 10 ft. to either side.
