Edion Caradoc is a retired necromancer in the Heart of Winter expansion.
Location[]
He stands inside Edion's Tower in the bottom-left corner of the Burial Isle.
Background[]
He used to be a high-status wizard in the southern nation of Tethyr, where he specialized in necromancy and fought to defend his homeland.
Three years before the events of Heart of Winter, enemies of Tethyr targeted him with a powerful magical ritual that infected him with negative energy.
This disease progressively affects his body and mind, and will unavoidably lead to his death. (Only a divine intervention could cure him.)
So he traveled to Icewind Dale, and settled down in an abandoned tower on the Burial Isle in order to live out his remaining years in isolation. He survives here by fishing, and usually only interacts with the undead spirits of the isle — whom he pacifies by presenting them with gifts.
Interaction[]
He initiates conversation when you first enter his tower. He can tell you a little about this island, and about himself and his disease. (There is no way to help cure him, in this game.)
Asking him about his magic items, leads to his store interface – see #Buy & Sell below.
He can also help you upgrade the items Mystery of the Dead +3 and Young Rage +5, once you find them – see those articles for details.[EE only]
If you threaten to use force to get his items, he turns hostile – but there won't be a grandiose wizard battle, because he simply uses Dimension Door and then disappears forever. Even if you manage to kill him fast enough, you only get some exp and gold, and not his items.
