===Arcapatos Miguel Agustin=== Darklord of Igid Rabi-i. Born to nobility, Miguel harbored a fascination with the exotic and the unique from his earliest day, and his ascendence into the hierachy of the Matherion priesthood of the holy empire was, personally, motivated primarily by the chance to ever expand his collection of exotic goods. The ultimate birth of Igid Rabi-I began when a native fishing family called the Bacani discovered a strange cloth floating in the ocean, bearing a design that they instantly recognized as their people's now-outlawed elder goddess Angarab, the Great Mother Goddess. They took this relic into their home and began to worship it. News of their discovery inevitably reached Arcapatos Agustin's ears; when he came to look upon the relic, however, he was convinced that it was in fact a depiction of his own Matherion in a lesser-known aspect; the Holy Mother. Religious zeal, glory hunger and collector's lust all awoke in Miguel's heart, and he immediately tried to buy the cloth from the Bacani. But they wouldn't sell at any price. Enraged, the Arcapatos returned to his post in Tagudin and summoned his Council, who agreed that such an obvious sacred relic must be the property of the Matherion church, and so bargaining was undertaken. But after weeks of steadfast refusal, with the Bacani vowing they would rather die than give up the sacred cloth, the Arcapatos' rage grew too great to contain any longer. Whilst publically presenting himself as patient and uinderstanding, he vowed that he would have the relic, no matter the cost. Soon after, as a typhoon approached one night, a band of seven [[assassin]]-priests crept into the Bacani house. Minutes later, the entire family was dead, down to the smallest child. No sooner had they breathed their last than Arcapatos Agustin began ringing the great bells of the Vestibulo, sounding the call for worship. This was greatly confusing to all the peoples of Igid Rabi-i, both natives and migrant Turonites alike; it was the middle of the ''night'', for Matherion's sake, ''and'' there was a typhoon blowing in as well! But obediently they came to the church, and watched as a band of seven priests triumphantly barged through the Vestibulo's main entrance and approached the triumphant Arcapatos Agustin, bearing with them the sacred cloth. As the realization sank in for the people that the Arcapatos would do anything to get what he wanted, Miguel began the ritual of celebration. The typhoon surged for three days. When it was over, Igid Rabi-I was now part of the Demiplane of Dread. The sun, moon and stars had all dimmed, and monsters began to creep from the shadows. And in his personal collection, Miguel saw the Cloth of Matherion vanish in a cloud of frankincense smoke, and silently vowed that he would never rest until it was recovered. Arcapatos Augistin has ceased to age since that fatal night, but rarely leaves the Vestibulo, instead forever focusing on chasing down rumors of the Cloth of Matherion's re-emergence amongst the people of Igid Rabi-i. Though his assassins constantly hunt it down, it magically disappears from their grasp whenever they obtain it, no matter how bloodily they do so. In combat, Miguel is one of the rare darklords with no special life-preserving powers. He's a 14th level [[Cleric]] who broadcasts a 20ft aura of fear, he's immune to all Charm spells, and his touch and weapon attacks can both render victims insensate for 2 rounds if they fail a save vs. poison, but aside from that, if you can kill him, he'll stay dead. Like [[Strahd von Zarovich]], Augustin has borders around both his capital city of Tagudin and around Igid Rabi-i itself. If he wishes to seal the former, the city is blanketed in an aura of fear that compels everyone to flee inside and stay there until he relents. If he wishes to seal the latter, a dense wall of frankinense smoke envelops the domain; anyone who tries to breach it instead falls unconscious a turn later, and then reawakens back inside Igid Rabi-i.
