Editing Darklord (section)

==Gwydion the Sorceror-Fiend==
Darklord of the Shadow Rift, and such an asshole that even the ''Shadow Fey'' think he's a monster. He is also responsible for their current state, as prior to Ravenloft, he was a powerful warlord on the Plane of Shadow, and to sate his ambitions, he kidnapped a bunch of normal fey, turned them into the Shadow Fey, and told them to create an interdimensional portal so he could use them as an army to conquer other planes. This worked as well as could be expected [[Derp|considering he had no mental domination of his creations]]. The Shadow Fey made a portal, alright... but it wasn't to the Prime Material and the armies that marched through it were actually a mass exodus of the Shadow Fey, hidden by illusions.

Gwydion eventually discovered the Shadow Fey's treachery, but it was too late, and by the time he got to the portal to stop them, the exodus was almost complete. The Shadow Fey king, Arak, held Gwydion back long enough for the Shadow Fey to all escape and seal the portal while Gwydion was going through it, trapping the Sorceror-Fiend. The other side of the portal led to the Demiplane of Dread, where the Dark Powers created the Shadow Rift to contain Gwydion further.

And that's pretty much how it remains. Aside from a failed escape attempt during the Grand Conjunction, Gwydion has remained stuck in that portal, unable to do anything but watch and send Shadow Fey an occasional bad dream.
