torkhyllor

Torkhyllor is a fictional character from the "Dungeons & Dragons" role-playing game, first appearing in the 1981 adventure module "The Temple of Elemental Evil." Torkhyllor is a powerful and enigmatic figure, often depicted as a mysterious and ancient entity. He is typically described as a lich, a type of undead creature, although his exact nature and origins are not fully explained in the module.

Torkhyllor's primary role in the adventure is to serve as a guardian or antagonist, often opposing the player characters. He is known for his vast knowledge of arcane lore and his ability to manipulate magical energies. His lair, the Temple of Elemental Evil, is a vast and dangerous structure filled with traps, puzzles, and powerful magical creatures.

Despite his formidable powers, Torkhyllor is not an invincible foe. The adventure module provides several ways for the player characters to defeat him, often involving a combination of strategy, skill, and luck. His defeat typically leads to the resolution of the adventure and the release of the temple from its dark influence.

Torkhyllor's character has been a subject of debate and interpretation among players and game masters. Some see him as a malevolent force, while others view him as a misunderstood or misguided entity. His enigmatic nature and the lack of clear information about his origins have contributed to this ambiguity, making him a popular and enduring figure in the "Dungeons & Dragons" lore.
