Marramdu

"... 'Tis I who now stand ready to snuff out the brief candle of your worthless life..."

- Marramdu

At a Glance
Born in The Realm of Dreams, the dimension of the vastly powerful energy-entities called the Kalashtar, Marramdu and his twin sibling Slann gathered matter to themselves to increase their power, a practice anathema to their fellow Kalashtar, becoming their dimension's mightiest sorcerers. Ultimately slaying their parents, Marramdu and Slann were eventually defeated by the Guardians of Locke and it appeared that flame of their threat had been put out.

Following the genocidal actions of the demi-goddess  Koshmar, the Goddess Rem was able to entomb her rival with the help of a group of adventures, using her abilities to re-populate the realm of dreams. An unfortunate consequence of this was that Marramdu and Slann were jointly resurrected and, with Rem severely weakened, the twins escaped to the mortal plane.

Marramdu's powers, like his sisters, were extremely potent. Harnessing the powers of the subconscious his dreams and wishes could be made manifest, giving him the ability to transmute matter and reality, release energy projections, and banish pursuers to the Realm of Dreams (or sub-realms therein).

Age of Adventure
Marramdu's duplicitous actions during the Age of Adventure reached a crescendo with the defeat of Rem. Travelling to the mortal plane with his sister, he openly used his powers to conquer and maim. He most notably:
 * Ruined the lives of countless mortals by transmuting their worst nightmares into physical form and by feasting on the nightmares of soldiers -- as there was no lack of conflict on the mortal plane.
 * Banished allies and opponents to the Realm of Dreams where they would languish with the ruined remnants of the dreamscape, becoming part of Marramdu's "closet of things".
