Zaqar

  • A strange extraplanar being encountered through a hole in the wall inside Magic Tower
  • Associated with an impossible void of stars, nebulae, drifting stone, a distant castle, and enormous tentacles moving through an unreal sea
  • Spoke to each member of the party from directly behind them no matter which way they turned
  • Appeared at first as a tiny marble or sphere that could swell to an enormous size and then shrink away again
  • Claimed the party existed on a lower plane than its own
  • Spoke in riddles and paradoxes, especially about moving forward to go backward and backward to go forward
  • Capable of pulling creatures briefly into its own reality and warping their bodies in disturbing ways
  • Seemed curious rather than openly malicious
  • Remains one of the stranger entities known to be tied to Magic Tower
