Shaud (PC ? - PC ?), a male dark-hearted Elven archmage, was one of a group of mages called The Three. During the Second Dragon War, he cast a spell with two other sorcerers to destroy the dragons. The spell went out of control, causing earthquakes, wild fires, and massive storms that flooded the lands. He, along with Corenthas and Eriane, hid in a tower called the Citadel of Mysteries, which was taken by the Gods of Magic to the realm of the gods. In this tower, which became known as the Lost Citadel, he was taught the art of High Sorcery.
He disappeared one night during the construction of the Tower of Wayreth when a Ut-kiri raiding party attacked. He was never heard from again. It is reported that he was killed by Kistilan, one of the Favored Ones. Other wizards thought that he left to save his own life.
Kender Tales[]
In most sources it is said that The Three were all elven, but it is also said that Corenthas went to the Human realms to find the other two sorcerers, so his race is questionable.
