In my 2nd edition campaign Andrade Mirrius was played to evil perfection. Even if you do expose Andrade, he is hard to catch.

Speaking of slippery, he also sports a Ring of Free Action, Boots of Speed and a Necklace of Adaptation. He is quite possibly the "Kaiser Soze" of Greyhawk (This comparison will come into play later). How slippery is he? Andrade is so slippery, there are no canon illustrations of him that I'm aware of. The aforementioned Hat of Disguise also ensures his ability to blend into crowds and come and go at will. In fact, for a priest he is sneakier than most rogues you'll find in Greyhawk City! Like any uber-evil villain operating out in the open, he has an Amulet of Proof Against Detection and Location. Andrade Mirrius is as sneaky as they come.
Their long term goals are the same as above, yet now include the overthrow of Iuz from their home city of Molag. Mirrius is also joined by another Hierarch in exile, Guiliana Mortidus in spreading evil throughout the domain. If Mirrius is forced out of the city before 18th level he is now a full Hierarch of the Horned Society, hell bent on harassing the PCs with assassins, raids and monsters.īy 591 CY, the starting timeline for Greyhawk: The Adventure Begins, Andrade is still operating secretly in Greyhawk City, but the Horned Society is now in exile, defeated by Iuz during the Blood Moon Festival prior to the Greyhawk Wars. This time Andrade has a new side venture, owning the West City Warhouse (R10) under the alias of Aros Mander. Though the Thieves Guild still manage and utilize this warhouse for their own use, none realize who the mysterious owner really is. He ultimately wishes to raise an army of undead from beneath the city to surface and cause terror in the streets. His influence is so subtle at this point, few of these pawns will know that anyone else is in on Mirrius' schemes. He should have many Directors in his pocket, in addition to members of the Union of Sewermen and the Gravediggers' Guild.
At 18th level Andrade Mirrius, if unchecked is more powerful than ever. It is suggested that if his cult is destroyed before now, he moves to Admundfort to resume his goals, still able to clandestinely work in Greyhawk City with his magical hat. Still the owner of the Pit, he now begins to push out other cults in the city and gain some influence over the Directors of the city, anonymously through blackmail, kidnapping and negotiation (he owns a Hat of Disguise). Mirrius advances to 14th level eventually (this varies but is considered to happen between 576 and 585 CY). Espionage for the Horned Society (with Rhennee running the information back and forth).Disrupting Greyhawk (spreading deceit to hurt trade).Disgracing the Good (fraudulent crimes mainly).Slaying of Good (priests of good deities essentially).Slaying Knights ( Knights of Holy Shielding in particular).The cult is small, only numbering five including Andrade, but they are highly efficient at what they do. The Cult of the Shriven Sickle is a group of priests of Nerull based out of a secret lair in the Undercity of Greyhawk and are dedicated to spreading evil through the city. He is the owner of "the Pit", a popular place for gladiatorial fights in the city's Foreign Quarter (Location F8 on the map). The Pit is managed for him by Pietain Morvannis a former gladiator from the Hold of Sea Princes. As he begins, Mirrius is an 11th level priest of Nerull, described as 45 years old with gray-streaked black hair and brown eyes. In the official timeline when the boxed set was published, the mysterious Hierarchs of the Horned Society had not yet been driven out of Molag and into exile by Iuz the Evil, and one of their spies abroad was a man named Andrade Mirrius, leader of the Cult of the Shriven Sickle. The City of Greyhawk cleverly presents Andrade as a long-term nemesis in three stages so that he can progress in level along with the player characters.
