Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone characters are fictional characters from the video game Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone.

[edit] Cireka

Cireka is the general of a Githyanki army who wishes to take over the realms. She uses a powerful sword that can transport matter between planes. Ygorl wishes to take this sword from her. Little is known about the history of this character.

[edit] Drizzt

Main article: Drizzt Do'Urden

Drizzt Do'Urden is a dark elf, commonly known as drow. He uses two enchanted scimitars, Twinkle and Icingdeath.

[edit] Illius

Illius is a sorcerer who uses a staff and a formidable array of magical powers. Early in the game, he acquires a string of Force Beads. He can use these beads as mines to blast enemies.

Illius was born into a line of knights, but when he discovered that he had sorcerer powers he pursued that path instead. His father disapproved of this and disowned Illius, though it is later discovered that Ygorl mentally influenced Illius' father from inside the Demon Stone. Illius is joined by the two other characters (Rhannek and Zhai).

[edit] Khelben

Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun is a powerful spellcaster who also counts himself amongst Mystra's Chosen. Khelben is a serious, imposing wizard and a grim proponent of law and order. However, his methods of achieving the ultimate good are often highly questionable in the eyes of the righteous.

[edit] Rhannek

Rhannek is a fighter who uses a bastard sword with deadly force. Early in the game, he acquires Gauntlets of Ogre Strength, allowing him to shatter barricades with magically-enhanced power.

Rhannek hails from the town of Nesme, which was sacked by trolls. Early in the raid, Rhannek was knocked unconscious and woke to find his comrades dead. As with Illius' father, Ygorl had influenced the trolls to attack Nesme but leave one warrior alive. After this Rhannek left and headed towards Damara. During his journey, he followed a Red Dragon to a battle between Orc Armies outside Gemspark Mine. Here, he met up with Illius and Zhai, his future traveling companions.

Rhannek is mentioned in R.A. Salvatore's novel The Two Swords as a young upstart at odds with Galen Firth, the captain of the Riders of Nesme.

[edit] Ygorl

Ygorl is the Slaad Lord who has the power to summon slaadi from the chaotic planes. In the beginning of the game, he is imprisoned by Khelben in a Demon Stone with Cireka. He manages to escape by drawing Rannek, Illius, and Zhai to the Demon Stone's location. A secret scene, opened after completing a number of levels, reveals that Ygorl was working with the Red Dragon and had secretly manipulated the lives of the three heroes to set up his eventual escape.

He uses powerful magic, and is voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan. Little is known about this character, other than that he wishes to take over the Forgotten Realms. Ygorl is killed at the end of the game. It remains to been seen if he will return from death and cause more havoc outside Limbo.

[edit] Zhai

Zhai is a half-drow, half-wood elf rogue who uses twin daggers and can hide in shadowy areas to perform one-hit-kill stealth attacks. She was raised in the wood elf village of Cedarleaf by her drow mother and wood elf father, until they were killed indirectly by Ygorl in a raid against the town.

Zhai didn't feel secure in the home of the wood elves, so she left them and became a rogue. She was captured by orcs attacking a town but was freed by Rannek during the battle. Early in the game, Zhai acquires a Ring of Jumping, which allows her to make jump attacks and access secret areas.

She is mentioned briefly in R. A. Salvatore's The Promise of the Witch-King, in which she is referred by Ellery to Jarlaxle as a half-drow gaining a reputation in Damarra.
