Lum the Mad (Greyhawk)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons and Dragons roleplaying game, Baron Lum the Mad was a mighty Oeridian warlord, whose power was at least partially due to his possession of the artifact known as the Infernal Machine. Lum was betrayed by his former general, Leuk-o, when the latter came to possess the artifact, later known as the Mighty Servant of Leuk-o. Their final conflict left a large area wasted and led to the disappearance of both artifacts, possibly due to plunging through a dimensional rift.

[edit] Lum the Mad in other media

Lum and his Infernal Machine have been featured in the computer games Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, as the creator of Watcher's Keep, and briefly at the end of Planescape: Torment when the final boss refers to a time when the Nameless One "danced sorceries with Lum the Mad".
