PREFACE
You have in your hands that which you
covet, just as I promised. It is indeed the
true worlc of that Oeridian wizard Morden·
lcainen, althoush penned in larse part by
his apprentice, Bisby. You didn't know that?
Yes-the worlc of two &reat wizards for the
price of one! You should pay me extra.
Bisby wrote as dictated by his master,
burdened by the chains of a charm spell.
Eventually, Mordenkainen released Bisby
from the spell once he had turned Bisby
away from his evil ways and Bisby had
earned Mordenkainen's trust. The last few
chapters are thus in Mordenkainen's own
hand. But you'll see the voice of the author
is the same throushout.
Funny, isn't it? How all the stories say
that Mordenkainen rescued Bisby from
evil? Does Mordenlcainen seem like the lcind
of person whose virtues outweish his vil-
lainy? Do you think him capable of savin&
a soul? Does he seem lilce someone who'd
even care?
Perhaps it's no accident that this hoolc
contains Mordenkainen's first expression of
the Balance. In here, he starts to describe
the multiverse as a collection of opposin&
forces, each one tryins to tip the scales of
fate in its favor. He posits that
if
any side
in a stru&&le &rows too powerful, it be-
comes tyrannical. But where does that leave
us-all the soldiers in all these wars? Surely
for the soldiers of all sides, a war is better
when it is over.
Are you a soldier? What war do you
fi&ht7 Whose side are you on? Law or
Chaos? Evil or Good? Can you he sure that
Mordenlcainen would jud&e you as you
judse yourself? When he puts his thumb
on the scales to preserve the Balance, can
you he certain that the weisht of that fin&er
will not crush you?
All this misht seem odd comin& from a
yu&oloth, hut you should believe me, be-
cause I am in the best position to know:
endless wars profit only mercenaries and
arms dealers. Thinlc on this as you peruse
the wise words of Mordenlcainen.
-The words of Shemeshka the Marauder,
upon deliverins

ABOUT THIS BOOK
In
the
worlds of
DUNGEONS
&
DRAGONS,
conflicts
rage
within mortal
realms
and in the very domains of the
gods. This
book
explores some
of the
greatest conflicts
in
the D&D
multiverse
and delves into
the cultures
of
the peoples and monsters involved
in those
conflicts.
Why
do dwarves and duergar hate each
other? Why
are
there so
many
kinds of elves? What
lies
at the
heart of
the Blood War, the great cosmic struggle
between
de-
mons and
devils that threatens
to destroy
everything if
either side were ever to emerge victorious? This book
provides
answers to those
questions
and
many
more.
The
first
five
chapters
present
material for a
Dungeon
Master to add depth
to
a campaign
that
involves
the on-
going conflicts
described
there. Options
for
players are
provided as well,
including
new character
races.
Chapter
6
contains game statistics for
dozens of mon-
sters:
new
demons and
devils,
several varieties of elves
and duergar, and a vast array
of
other creatures from
throughout
the
planes of existence. The
appendix lets
you
look
up
stat blocks
in
this book
by
challenge
rating,
creature
type,
and environment.
A companion to the
Monster Manual
and
Volo'.s Guide
to Monsters,
this book contains the musings
of the re-
nowned
wizard Mordenkainen
from
the world of
Grey-
hawk.
In his travels to
other worlds and other planes of
existence, he
has
made many friends, and
has
risked his
life
an equal number of times,
to
amass the knowledge
contained herein.
