Adramycos

Adramycos is a fungal demonlord who "serves Zuttgomy & Bhaal" (S181) and who, in the Fifth Age, made the kingdom of Alghert the seat of a demonic Hollow. In Pemeril he went about in the person of Lord Emory Tiebald, the kingdom's Master of Coin: "Adramycos in disguise" (S184). He is a demonlord of the Archdemon Bhaal's following rather than a god; no source records anyone worshipping him except the witches who served him.

Also called: Andromycos (S186).

The Hollow of Alghert

"??mycos -- Demonlord Fungus which serves the Archdemon Bhaal has moved into the area" (S181). The Hollow he grew over southern Alghert is fungal, "Lv 4 at it's center", and "not controlled by Asmodeus", so that "Alghert is now the site of a Demon vs Devil war" (S181). The royal house had bargained with him: King Baellin Tugard and Princess Ewe Tugard "head a coven of witches and serve Demonlord Adramycos", moving Mithis objects to expand the Hollow around a vault that holds part of the Mithis Heartstone (S181, S182). The plan of "the forces of Bhaal" was to "create a very powerful hollow around the vault, which should allow them to penetrate its defenses and get to the heartstone" (S182). Out in the country his work showed as "The Infected", "people who have been infected by demonic spores from Adramycos", with orange pustules, and as purple ooze running from the trees (S181).

The effort cost him. By the summer of the campaign "Adramycos has reached the end of his capabilities, has died repeatedly & weakened the hollow. He needs more lifeforce for the vessel" (S182). The vault was guarded by Selaphiel, "a weakened ascendant of Kalar" whom the Hollow had woken and who was "using it to negate it, thwarting Bhaal's minions" (S182).

Lord Emory Tiebald

As Lord Emory Tiebald he was Master of Coin and Lord of Mossglen, a twenty-nine-year-old witch of the Alghert Coven who "manages the Hollow and is proxy Hollowlord" (S181, S182). "Not exactly always a happy witch family", the coven was kept in order by its governess, Jehanna Motters, who "keeps Radulf and Emory in line" (S181). In Pemeril, as the city's wards failed, he was among the royal household beside Princess Ewe and High Priest Athaff (S184).

The Battle of Angels

Beneath the Monastery of St Morgan, where the Vault of the Arcane Eye was hidden, lies a Hall of Angels with "two corrupted, fallen angel protectors": "This is where Adramycos will fight" (S185). There, in what the session record calls the Battle of Angels, he fought with tentacles beside Princess Ewe, as the Shadow Witch Eweko, and the two Angels of Decay, Arariel and Harahel (S186). How the battle ended for him belongs to the Sancturi Campaign.

Gap

No source describes Adramycos's true form beyond its tentacles, names Zuttgomy, or says whether he survived the Battle of Angels.

Earlier accounts

The first note on the Tugard court knows Lord Emory Tiebald only as a witch, "Master of Coin, Lord of ??", who "manages the Hollow and is proxy Hollowlord", and says nothing of a demon wearing him (S154).
