The Dread Court of The Midnight King
This Vampire conclave of The Midnight King began in 1374 DR. An infamous elven adventurer known as Dresdorian Olortynnal became a Vampire in 1372 DR fighting and spell-battling a coven of vampires. Dresdorian died in combat and was re-born as a vampire to Fraxel Frostfang, and rose above the ranks of the coven and destroyed his master vampire. Since that very day the gold elf has taken the name of Midnight King. He has ruled the coven of Midnight for well over a hundred years.
In his century of rule of the Kryptgarden Forest, he has built a small kingdom of elven undead in the ruins of ancient Illefarn. Summoning and calling-forth like-minded undead to his side. Rejecting all non-elves and being very racist in his disposition. Commanding Banshee Queens, Ghast Lords and a small army of elven undead from Illefarn, he rules his forest kingdom at night. The Masters of Midnight are his undead companions. Each one being a intricate elf lord of the Coven.
Although the Midnight King worships Erevan Ilerese and still calls spells from his divinity, Erevan Ilesere will only grant him spells as long as he only kills those of evil alignment, and he continues to play tricks and pranks on all those of Lawful alignment. He also cares only for the lost Kingdom of Illefarn and himself. From Kryptgarden Forest to the south and The Westwood. All of this was once Illefarn. Dresdorian was adamant that he protects his elven homeland even as a Vampire... even as a Vampire Lord, able to walk among the living.
One by one he collected his leaders. Intelligent, elven undead commanders. And a host of Crusaders and knights to command. A swarm of undead elves from ancient Illefarn. This Vampire court was bred to protect the heritage of ancient Aryvandaar. No human or beast is allowed passage through the Bogs or hills or forest of The Midnight King after sunset. Dresdorian would rather destroy himself than submit to non-elven rule.
It is said that when Dresdorian throws a Midnight Gambol that all creatures gather to witness true feral frivolity. Just simply evil in making. Nothing can stop his Gambol besides a Mischiefmaker interrupting. Only 10% of the Gambol gatherers die to the guilds needs. The weak die quick and the strong die slow. Even Elminster takes pause when coming into the Kryptgarden Forest. Dresdorian summons redcaps and all manner of evil fey, as well as the goodly races of faeries to join his Gambol.
The Midnight King also has a Legendary Werewolf Lord prowling the edges of the Kryptgarden. The only living member of the coven, Celidath Silverspear, a moon elf bladesinger, self-exiled from Evereska due to his cursed lycanthropy contracted during an adventure into the Moonwood a decade ago. Dresdorian Olortynnal had promised him a cure to his lycanthropy if he were to watch over the coven during the daylight hours and protect the ruins in the center of the forest.
