Through the Mists

Azalin Rex

At a glance

Darkon’s missing former ruler, remembered by Carver from his parents’ conversations and shown in Erasmus’s vision as part of the Eternal Order’s history. He is distinct from Darcalus Rex.

Known facts and claims

  • Carver’s parents spoke of him in the past.
  • Erasmus showed him presiding over an ancient church.
  • Carver initially assumed that the “Rex” invoked by Neblus’s clergy meant Azalin; Duskren later made clear that his sect awaits Darcalus Rex instead.
  • Black Lily claimed that Azalin is gone.
  • Duskren Kalvar claimed that Azalin exploited Darkon’s stolen memories while trying to raise an undead army.
  • Duskren placed his hopes in the distinct Darcalus Rex rather than Azalin.
  • An obscure history described the King’s Ravens as always watching and somehow “part of Azalin.”
  • Coins bearing his face can apparently serve as Mist talismans; Black Lily used one to reach Martira Bay.
  • Vidic claimed that the Keepers of the Feather watched Azalin attempt a transformation and saw it fail.
  • Erasmus showed Castle Avernus exploding and Azalin’s physical body dissolving into nothing before Darkon divided among competing powers.
  • Ebb’s raven described Darkon as collapsing in Azalin’s absence and confirmed Ebb now controls the King’s Ravens.
  • Irik Zal’honan claimed Strahd von Zarovich knows the secrets of Azalin’s ritual and the red star.
