The Cauldron

Here is a Guide I made of all the names, people, places, lore, etc… I could find for now of the Symphony of Ages (Rhapsody through The Assassin King, so beware of SPOILERS). I will continue to add on to this. But the reason why I'm doing this is because, (like myself) I forget certain things and need a little "handy-dandy," guide to look things up just to refresh on certain things. So I hope this is helpful.

(If you find something incorrect, or want to correct something, please, feel free to do so by posting a comment about the word/definition. Remember, this isn't completed, so more will be added and something’s may be corrected later).

TAKE NOTE: The words in Green need to have a definition or description added. You also have to highlight the definitions to see them, this removes the possibility of seeing a SPOILER. You may also print this guide out for easy access!

Achmed the Snake was born from a Dhracian mother that was raped by his Firbolg father by the toss of the bones. He was originaly named Ysk (look up definition to learn more about name) by the Firbolg and with the toss of the bones again, he was given over to the winner, under duress, to the demon that was his enemy.

Later on, after the Three pass through the earth after fourteen centuries he establishes his own kingdom by taking over Ylorc that was held by the Firbolg. He then starts to rebuild Ylorc to its formal glory, Canrif, even making modifications on Gwylliam's inventions. He even invents his own weapons, and weapons for the bolg. He becomes a very powerful leader, and part of the Alliance with the Lord and Lady Cymrian. Achmed is also known for being rude, and manipulating others to extend his own plans and ends. But he is not all cold-hearted as some are lead to believe. He will go to whatever end to keep his closest friends, Rhapsody and Grunthor, along with the bolg out of harms way. Ironic, that he has killed a large populace of Serendair when he is protector of all. For he protects the Sleeping Child.
