Kas is one of the most powerful humanoids who is not a deity. He is a powerful vampire lord and is rumored to have defeated several lesser deities and primordials. He commands armies of living and undead followers, and is worshiped and revered by vampires and debased mortals. Kas is known also as Kas the Betrayer and is the sworn enemy of Vecna. He was originally Vecna’s trusted lieutenant, but he betrayed Vecna in an effort to become a god in Vecna’s stead. Kas severed Vecna’s hand and eye, and though both survived the battle, each now seeks the other’s destruction. Kas was once an evil paladin, and he still values some knightly principles. He is exceptionally proud and never forgets or forgives insults to him or his honor. Two artifacts are associated with Kas, the Sword of Kas and the Silver Mask of Kas. These items are no longer in his possession and now filter through the planes, corrupting those who are unfortunate enough to find them.

Kas the Betrayer

The Sword is named for a powerful vampire lord called Kas. The Sword of Kas was created by Vecna at the height of his power in unlife. Believing that his empire was growing too vast to manage alone, he chose one of his faithful, Kas, to serve as his right hand. The Sword was to be Kas’s symbol of office, but Vecna made it too well. Part of the lich lord’s own consciousness — the ambition to dominate the world — entered the weapon. The Sword eventually caused the lieutenant to turn on his master. The ensuing battle cost the lich his left hand and eye. The Sword offers great power to any who grasp it, but wielders end up betraying what they love most.

The Sword of Kas is a +5 Vicious short sword with the following properties and powers.

• Enhancement: Attack rolls and damage rolls
• Critical: +5d12 damage.
• Property: The Sword of Kas deals 2d10 extra damage against allies and former allies.
• Property: Whenever an attack with the Sword of Kas reduces a target to 0 hit points or fewer, you gain concealment until the end of your next turn.
• Property: If you attack Vecna, a servant of Vecna, a cultist of Vecna, or any other creature working directly to serve Vecna’s ends, you deal 5 extra damage on a hit.
• Property: When you take the total defense action or use your second wind, you gain a +5 item bonus to all defenses until the start of your next turn.
• Property: The Sword of Kas is initially invisible to everyone but the creature possessing it. You gain combat advantage against melee targets when using it until you successfully hit, at which point the weapon becomes visible to everyone. The Sword of Kas turns invisible again after being sheathed for a short rest (or for 5 minutes).
• Power (Encounter): Free Action. When you would pull or push a target, you slide the target the same distance instead.
• Power (Daily ✦ Poison, Radiant): Free Action. When you hit with the Sword of Kas, the target takes ongoing 15 poison damage (save ends). If the attack is made against an undead creature, it instead takes ongoing 15 radiant damage (save ends). Saving throws made to end this effect take a –2 penalty.

Having successfully turned back the Githyanki incursion into their world, the Heroes returned to Sayre for the celebrations and rest their tired bodies. Lady Tina was made honorary head of the Temple of the Radiant Sun and also was granted a beautiful manor outside Sayre. Lord Merlock opted for an arcanist tower not too far from Sayre and promise of a few helping apprentices to tend to his 'mundane' needs. Lord Char Siew was made one of the nobles in Sayre but having to take care of so much politicking proved too much for him and he excused himself from the always bickering councilman. Lord Kane and Lord Bramin returned to their homelands and were sorely missed.

Rachaela - Angel of Secrets

However, the world never stopped turning, and the Dark Queen never stops plotting. Just barely 2 weeks have passed before the Heroes are once again summoned on a new Epic quest. An angel of secrets, Racaela, informed the Heroes of their next quest. In place of Kane and Bramin, the Heroes are joined by Krusk and Boreas who are one of the Hundred who participated in the attack on Garaitha's Anvil. Lord Char Siew surprisingly is absent from the meeting and has not been heard of for quiet a while. (Possibly eloped with Eebiet). Anyway, Rachaela tells the party that Tiamat's black exarch, Mornujhar is guarding a ritualist of unparalleled potency, Irfeljuhar. What he is up to, the angel doesn't know but whatever it is, it is bound to be of extreme importance.

However, in order to reach Irfelujhar in his Mantled Citadel in Vaerothim requires the party to travel through a part of the Shadowfell known as Monadhan, the Domain of Betrayal. Getting to Monadhan is the easy part. Getting out is whole different thing altogether. The Domain of Betrayal is home to all manners of traitors who have betrayed their family, friends, god or nation. Not only does a dark lord -an undead dragon named Arantor - guard the portal out of Monadhan, but the denizens of Monadhan cannot leave voluntarily unless they possess the key. They key would allow passage out is the object of greatest betrayal in Monadhan. And right now, that object is the Sword of Kas which is in Arantor’s hoard.

The Heroes aren’t the only ones looking for the Sword of Kas. Kas himself is looking for it. The Heroes strike a bargain with Kas. Kas provide some intel on how to defeat Arantor while the party retrieve the sword and return it to Kas.
