	The Prince of Deception had also sworn revenge against all of humanity for his imprisonment and humiliation, for it was [[Zagyg]] (at the time a mere human) who was responsible for his confinement and loss of status.

Thus Gary, in a move that today would've been posted about on threads dedicated to RPG horror stories, manipulated events so that Erac's Cousin stumbled upon a frieze in the depths of [[Castle Greyhawk]] that, when he fiddled with it, released a [[Demon Prince]] who carried Erac's Cousin (and also his partner Ayelerach, a [[fighter]]) off to a layer in the [[Abyss]], with the magical swords being destroyed as part of the process. This story would be recounted in an editorial address in Oerth Journal #5, titled "Robilar Remembers: Erac's Cousin". The story would then be repeated in [[Dragon Magazine]] #333.

	These demon lords fashioned an artifact called the Ichor Lance, which they gave to the mad archmage Zagig Yragerne. Zagig summoned Fraz-Urb'luu and tried to use the lance on the Prince of Deception. Fraz-Urb'luu seized the lance and used his power to disjoin the artifact. However, as a side effect of destroying the lance, the demon prince lost all of his innate magical powers, which enabled Zagyg to imprison the demon prince in a bas-relief in the dungeon beneath Castle Greyhawk. For centuries, many adventurers in the dungeon were destroyed after speaking to this imprisoned form. The demon recently managed to escape by tricking a wizard and a cleric into freeing him. He then transported these fools, probably Erac's Cousin and his adventuring companion Ayelerarch, to his domain of Hollow's Heart in the Abyss after destroying all their gear and left them for dead.

	Fraz-Urb'luu first appeared in module [[The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth]] (where the titular villain is said to be his [[half-fiend]] son by a human [[witch]] named Vilhara), only to be reprinted under the "[[Demon]]" heading in the [[Monster Manual]] II for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st edition.		Fraz-Urb'luu first appeared in module [[The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth]] (where the titular villain is said to be his [[half-fiend]] son by a human [[witch]] named Vilhara), only to be reprinted under the "[[Demon]]" heading in the [[Monster Manual]] II for [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons\|1st edition]].

	In the description of this powerful fiend, it stated that: "For centuries, he was imprisoned in a bas-relief visage (described as a stone prison in Monster Manual II) in the dungeons beneath Castle Greyhawk. Many unwary adventurers were destroyed after speaking to the visage, but eventually he duped a mighty cleric and a powerful magic-user into performing several heroic deeds that freed him from his carved prison. The Prince of Deception then carried the unwitting tools into slavery on his own plane in the Abyss." The description also notes that: "The only two individuals who have journeyed there (Fraz-Urb-luu's abyssal plane) and returned also report that magical items taken there lose their magic. They themselves lost swords of the utmost power. It therefore seems almost certain (90% chance) that magical items taken there, short of artifacts or relics, will be ruined." In case it's not obvious, this was a sly nod to his meta-origin, above.
