Graf Reydrich of Ahlissa is a mage and noble of the former Great Kingdom and now Ahlissa.
Description
Appearance
Reydrich is "a pencil-thin, 6 foot tall man with cropped steely gray hair and watery gray eyes. He limp[ed] fairly heavily, as his left leg is withered due to an old magical curse unable to be removed even a wish spell. His staff of power, a stout hornwood stave, is used to support himself as he walks."[1]
Personality
Religion
Abilities
Reydrich is presented with stats in Ivid the Undying (1995), while he was still Graf, as a 19th level mage, with Int 18 and Wis 17.[1]
Following this, Reydrich was described as a twentieth level wizard in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer (2000).[2]
Later, in 2007, with the advent of the new "Archmage" prestige class, he was given stats as a wizard 15/archmage 5 with the following stats:[3]
Str 8, Dex 18, Con 18, Int 31, Wis 18, Cha 12
However, his base statistics were also given before racial adjustments, Hit Dice ability score increases, stat boosting items, and inherent bonuses gained through casting wish:[3]
Str 8, Dex 12, Con 13, Int 15, Wis 14, Cha 10.
Equipment and possessions
Reydrich is known to have possessed black robes of the archmagi, a ring of protection +5,[1] and a staff of power (a stout hornwood stave).[1][3] He also has worn a cloak of displacement, and a ring of counterspells[3], in addition to using various scrolls, potions, and wands.
Home
Reydrich resides in the realm he rules, at the capital of the Principality of Ahlissa, Zelradton.
Relationships
Enemies
Reydrich has a special hatred of the Circle of Eight and Mordenkainen. In 560 CY he "pleaded with Mordenkainen to become a member of the Circle of Eight. The rejection did not overly surprise him, but the manner of it did; Mordenkainen let it be known that one who relied so much on compulsion and servitude was no true mage, for such acts are a substitute for true magical prowess and understanding. Reydrich took the insult badly indeed, and if given any way of stymieing the Circle, he would certainly do so."[4]
"The Circle of Eight is greatly disturbed at Reydrich’s reappearance, as he is known to bear considerable ill will toward the Circle for reasons not revealed."((csb|TAB|26}}
Allies and minions
History
Reydrich served as court mage to the Chelors for 19 years before becoming Graf.[1] He then was ruler of South Province, c.585 CY.[5]
Tyrum, a Suel arcanamach and member of the Scarlet Brotherhood, was credited with the assassination of Graf Reydrich of Ahlissa in 586 CY.[3] However, though this was believed to be true, Reydrich reappeared at the royal investiture ceremony of Prince Xavener as the first Overking of the United Kingdom of Ahlissa in Zelradton in 587 CY.[6] Though he'd been unaccounted for since 586 CY, his demands to reclaim his previous domain were not challenged and the three remaining oligarchs abandoned their claims of abeyant peerage (or, noble titles which remain unfilled or in dispute). Reydrich was named a Prince of the realm and given control of the Principality of Ahlissa, and made a royal advisor on magic.[6]
