Formerly the Hand of the Seldarine, the Severed Hand was an elven stronghold that had fallen in the war between the elves and the orcs of the region. Downfall ĭespite their great power and influence, Isair and Madae made a great mistake in choosing the Severed Hand as their headquarters. Many mercenaries responded, but many several were lost. Targos desperately sent word to Luskan, promising fortunes and fame for any aid they could send. They sent their hordes of goblins to attack Targos, a major walled town in the region. The representative was imprisoned, despite having no idea that the cakes were baked in such a way. Of course, the water badly burned the naturally evil creatures' throats, and the twins declared war upon the towns. The representative offered the "treats" to Isair and Madae, who unknowingly ate the cakes. The mayor of Bryn Shander sent his representative with finely crafted cakes and pastries, secretly baked with holy water by a priest. On an emissary mission, representatives from Targos, Bryn Shander, and the other Ten Towns traveled to the Severed Hand, an ancient elven fortress on the edges of the Fields of Slaughter, the headquarters of the Legion. They wished to work out a treaty with the Ten Towns to stop any violence between their newly founded legion and the denizens of the nearby areas.
Upon returning to their home plane, the Legion of the Chimera was founded by Isair and Madae, in order to create a safe haven for half-breeds. After this experience, they wanted to build a society that would accept all half-breeds. They were horrified to find that they were no more accepted in this society than in the world of men, and went back to their plane of birth in disgust. Isair and Madae tried to become powers among the hierarchy of the Nine Hells. Motivation Īfter they had grown to maturity, they met their father, Belhifet, and joined in the legions of hellspawn in the war.
Here, they decided to see how they would fare in the Blood War. The arcane brotherhood made the duo emissaries to the Abyssal Plane. Edgeel took them in for their infernal heritage, and used the twins for servants, and even killers, in exchange for protection. One day, they tried to fool Edgeel, a master of Luskan's Host Tower of the Arcane. Here, they scraped together enough money through intimidation and confidence games. The twins escaped to Luskan where they lived on the streets for a time. With the twins delicate upbringing shattered, their devilish instincts took over, and they fled from the village. When Egenia died, however, the townsmen came upon the twins, as Madae performed burial rights, in accordance with her training as a priestess of Ilmater. She raised them for a time, shielding them from the hate of the other citizens of Kuldahar and raising them in the faith of Ilmater. Despite his own trepidation, he allowed Egenia to raise them in the town they were born, Kuldahar. The archdruid didn't have the heart to destroy the children, despite their demonic heritage, and named them after his own parents. Unable to take any more, the elven mother fled from the house and threw herself off a cliff, where her body was never recovered. The children, however, had hideous disfigurements scaly red wings, thick twisted legs and tails. With Egenia and the archdruid Iselore's help, Ilmadia gave birth to twins. Īfter a time, it was discovered that Ilmadia was pregnant. One of these, an elven woman named Ilmadia Bariel, who was one of Belhifet's lieutenants, was rescued and resurrected by the Ilmater priestess, Mother Egenia, and brought to live with her in Kuldahar. Belhifet had launched a campaign to take over the Ten Towns, and one of his evil acts had involved seeding many human and elven females with his own spawn. The to-be leaders of the legion, Isair and Madae, were born in the town of Kuldahar in Icewind Dale, about a year after the troubles with the baatezu general Belhifet. Their practices involved slavery, torture, forceful inter-species breeding and the worship of Iyachtu Xvim, the Lord of Darkness.
Those of the legion became maddened, and resorted to desperate measures to achieve their goal. After insults from those of the Ten Towns, and the belief that the local denizens would not accept their kind, the sect became evil. The promising group started off as a collection of different races who wished to stop violence against half-breeds, starting in the region of Icewind Dale.
cambions, half-dragons, half-goblins, lizardfolk, neo-orogs and yuan-ti. Their ranks were filled with hybrids, and those that supported their cause i.e. The Legion of the Chimera were a sect that believed in equality and justice for half-breeds.
