The Vilquari is the name of a player group operating on Sundays on The Silver Marches, with plot centered on the initial party's sale into servitude, a period of mysterious experimentation and the machinations of the Illithid race, as mostly represented through a principal antagonist, Alator the Twice Exiled, Survivor of Glyth and Loretaker of Oryndol. The premise of the campaign involves mystery, the Underdark, great travels and the fate of the world.
Campaign-Specific Canon
Prisoners
There is no faster way to seal your fate than to be an NPC prisoner of the Vilquari, typically submitting to the Vilquari in combat results in a grotesque, humorous or senseless death within minutes, typically before any information useful to the campaign's intrigues is possible. Zakresh, Brella, Verron, Amelia, Ronald... we hardly knew ye. All right, some lived in captivity for a short time at least, but typically with better NPC caretaking and prisoner-housing infrastructure than the Vilquari party is able to provide.
Vilquari
Vilquar was the name of a famous traitor to the Gith race, the Vilquari are those deemed resembling Vilquar. A term used by a Githzerai associate of the party to describe the corrupted or tainted state of most PC party members or the varied agents being pursued by same. This Vilquari title is not an honored title nor one the group has adopted for themselves as if organizing themselves with a company name.
Xanictoll
Xanictoll was what appeared to be an island town in the Underdark upon Great Void Lake. The town's majority of inhabitants were dwarven survivors of the lost city of Kanaglym, and a fairly large number of humans as well. The leadership though was more notable, as all the citizens were overseen by a small cadre of Illithid "teachers" organized by a chief local authority, an Illithid carrying the title of "Xanict" or the Singer. Apparently this title was respecting a past Xanict acting much like a Pied Piper figure, luring memory-impaired dwarves from the city of Kanaglym, which fell on hard times after its wells started running with memory erasing Styx waters. The most recent Xanict, by name of Yantith, was killed by the Vilquari party after incitement of a revolution of the citizenry invoking the memory of a cultural hero of Kanaglym, but not before Yantith could activate a Netherese device which turned out to control the island in the manner of a Netherese flying city (in this case more a floating city), condemning the town to sink beneath the surface of Great Void Lake. The party and thousands of Xanictoll survivors fled through a local portal during the submersion process, to the Underdark ruins of Delzoun beneath the Silver Marches region.
