History
Thrommel was the Hero of Emridy Meadows in the battle against the Horde of Elemental Evil. He was head of the war council and leader of the forces that make up the Righteous Host. Through sheer force of will, Thrommel pulled together a worthy army and marched south to confront the darkness.
He believed his Righteous Host could defeat the forces of the temple, but he tempered his convictions with the dire reality of the situation. He knew his army lacked numbers and experience, and he had a challenging time keeping the egos of his commanders in check. He believed that a few victories —no matter how small— would unite the Righteous Host, strengthening the resolve of his troops in time to meet the greater threat. This has led him to seek unconventional methods for weakening the temple’s forces. It was his assertion a few key strikes where the enemy was most vulnerable would bolster morale.
Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil
For many years after the "disappearance" of Prince Thrommel was originally published, fans had great curiosity about what the fate of Thrommel had been. In 2002, in Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, the history of Thrommel was expanded. The adventure made a somewhat ironic or poetic truth of the fact that Thrommel had been in the original Temple disguised by illusion to appear as a vampire. In this version, Thrommel IV had been abducted and through slavers and smugglers, he came into the possession of the cultists at the Temple of All Consumption. He had died or was killed and had been turned into a vampire.
However, there are notable details in this version of Thrommel's story, which differ from earlier accounts.
The original date given in the WoG folio for his disappearance was 573 CY. But, in this version, the date given was at the Battle of Emridy Meadows in 569 CY[2].
