Description
Hagedorn was the name that echoed in our minds. It was what had dominated the duergar. An aberration. A beholder. Hagedorn was combining chardalyn and crystal remnant, using its magic to form the materials into some sort of arcane device. We would have to defeat Hagedorn and destroy the artifact it was trying to create: its own dreamed-up manifestation of the Crystal Shard.
