#1 thaliost Feb 13, 2009 20:24:18	So my players are advancing towards level 12 and it is the time that they should face the followers of a rakshasa rajah, if not six. The problem is that I only know two of the rakshasa rajah's names, one is Sul Katesh, mentioned in City of Stormreach, and the other from Secrets of Sarlona, the name of whom I can't recall exactly at this point. So my question is, where can I find the other rajah's names? Thanks for any help in advance.
#2 RedRider Feb 13, 2009 20:54:14	You can find (More than) a few in Keith's article on the Lords of Dust in Dragon #337. About five or so. Oh and Tiamat. Tiamat's a Rajah, imprisoned in Argonnosen. Or of course you could make up your own.
#3 nthdegree256 Feb 14, 2009 12:16:28	Yeah, a majority of the rakshasa rajah are unnamed precisely so the DM can insert their own names, reuse some powerful fiend's statblock and call him a rajah, etc. In my campaign, the players are chasing after an artifact that once belonged to a rajah I've named "Sultoh" - should they reach epic levels and end up fighting him, they'll likely lind that his statblock is curiously similar to Orcus'. :D
#4 Gilo Feb 14, 2009 13:21:18	check this thread: ... Anyway as for known Overlords we have Sul Khatesh, The Keeper of Secrets, imprisoned under the towers of Arcanix in Aundair. Magic and secrets are her playthings. Ral Tulkesh. The Rage of War, location unknown, but merely passing over his prison supposedly is enough to turn someone into a bloodthirsty murderer. Destruction, bloodlust, and war are his. Eldrantulku. The Oathbreaker, Location unknown. Delights in corruption, and causing betrayal. Tul Oreshka, The Truth in Darkness. Location Unknown. Said that children conceived near her tomb are always insane. Embodies horrible secrets, and lets them loose to break the minds of those whom were lied to for protection. Katashka, The Gatekeeper. Location Unknown. Holds sway over life, death and undeath. Said to have made the Dracolich who resides in the Lair of the Keeper, and was briefly freed some 3,000 years ago (ties into the Age of Worms Eberron Conversion). Sakinnirot, The Scar that Abides. Imprisoned under the City of Stormreach. He lets none of his cultists or servants use his name being known only as The Scar that Abides, saying his name will only be used after he rises again. Lord of vengeance, but not as a crime of passion, rather slow methodical revenge. Said to be one of the most powerful Overlords he was supposedly conceived first but born last from Khyber. Tiamat, The Daughter of Khyber. Imprisoned in the Pit of Five Sorrows in Argonessen. Corrupter of Dragons. I heard that the conversion for Keep on the Shadowfell named Orcus as another Overlord.
#5 saint_matthew Feb 15, 2009 2:21:33	Personally i have my own Rajah. A renegade rajah from the "Lords of Dust" who was trapped in a dragonshard for his uncontrolable personality, by the Lords of Dust. His name is Asher’ Khan he is also known as "The Ash-Lord" when he wears his all encompassing magical armour (a necessity, since he lost much of his powers over a century of being trapped). Sometimes he pretends to be a human noble by the name of "Lord Ash Ir’Tanith, but he only uses this disguise as a means to an end." He's also obsessed with a part of the prophercy he believes is talking about himself. His obsession drives him a little crazy. -M
#6 PJammaGod Feb 15, 2009 20:05:03	Again like St Matt I have a whole slew of Lords of Dust to be let loose as well as those that are defined and catagorised within the various Eberron books. Oh and Levistus is mentioned in Players Guide to Eberron (pg 67, check the box down the bottom) as another Overlord, which briefly escaped before being reimprisoned.
#7 thaliost Feb 21, 2009 16:55:00	Thank you all. These suggestions are all greatly helpful. I did find a bunch of rajahs to make use of in the Dungeon mag, special thanks to RedRider!
#8 Montonius1 Feb 21, 2009 22:49:04	There is an entire appendix in the Grand History of Eberron which lays out the name and what is known about all of the rakshasa rajahs revealed so far. Download it here: The Grand History of Eberron.pdf
#9 Gilo Feb 21, 2009 22:53:02	you can use my Iceberg imprisoned Rajah Have Ral Tulkesh (The Rage of War) imprisoned in a floating Iceberg (the Iceberg may have been once part of an ice shelf in the Tashana Tundra or Frostfell but its now detached). It already made one pass around the shores of Khorvaire not long ago, but now after one hundred and two years in the open seas its back. The ice lost some of its volume and the Overlord influence on his surrounding is even stronger then before and getting stronger with each passing month. Now, you just need to plot a course for the Iceberg based on where the PCs start and where do you want them to go (clock wise, anti-clock wise - nor sure about the ocean currents) ... murderer, destruction and war will lead their way. as time pass his influence go deeper into the main land, some of his powerful loyal minions in the ice get released as well. I think it will be interesting to have this influenced hot spots abruptly end when the Iceberg moves on. for example: a crime wave in Sharn ends just as some skirmish on the Zilargo-Darguun border starts which ends just as the Valenar raid on Karrnathi outposts - as to establish the pattern of influence clearly.

#11 shady314 Feb 22, 2009 3:22:58	May I also suggest just sticking with the title? Who cares if the Overlord's real name is Sul Khatesh? The Keeper of Secrets is a million times more ominous, descriptive and just plain cool and that should be what their followers call them.
#12 thaliost Feb 26, 2009 21:39:44	Montonius1, thanks a lot for the grand history, I'll start looking at it. Thanks for all the replies. You guys are really helping me a lot! :D
