The monster manual says that Doresain was a vassal of Orcus, until Yeenoghu attacked his layer. Doresain had no way of winning and called upon Orcus for aid. Orcus did not care and did no aid him. Doresain lost faith in Orcus and appealed to the Elven gods who he had abandoned to become the first of Orcus' ghouls to save him. The Elven Gods took pity on him and saved him from Yeenoghu's wrath. Doresain as thanks for being saved made elves immune to to the bite of ghouls. It is unkown if he went back to Orcus or went with Yeenoghu the one who conquered his layer.<br /><br />The other info about Yeenoghu in the Monster Manual is more or less the same stuff we known, but the DMG brings up some new stuff.<br /><br />Yeenoghu's layer has a name now. It is called Death Dells. <br /><br />"Death Dells. Yeenoghu rules a layer of ravines known as Death Dells. Here, creatures must hunt to survive. Even the plants, which must bathe their roots in blood, snare the unwary. Yeenoghu's servants, helping to sate their master's hunger as he prowls his kingdom seeking prey, capture creatures from the Material Plane for release in the Gnoll Lord's realm."Some guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10499488068067656109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-62268977375415719982015-08-21T16:28:18.666-07:002015-08-21T16:28:18.666-07:00Interesting note about Doresain: I believe this is...Interesting note about Doresain: I believe this is in the Monster Manual for 5th edition but before Doresain was the king of ghouls he was an elf. As an elf he was devoted to the elven gods but Orcus swayed him into his control until he ate a bunch of elves becoming the first ghoul. A bunch of years passed and he served Yeenoghu (I didn't know that, thanks) as well as Orcus until (assumedly during the events of E2-The Kingdom of Ghouls) he is attacked and calls on Orcus to aid him, but Orcus does not answer his calls, so when he is killed he revokes Orcus and begs to the elven gods for forgiveness. Evantually they grant him their forgiveness and as a gift grant all elves immunity to the ghouls bite. Which is why elves don't need to make the save against the ghoul's paralysis.Zingbob Cohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02315822246781007165noreply@blogger.com
