Does anyone know anything about this enigmatic fellow? I know he was a PC of one of the players in Gygax's Greyhawk campaign, and I think I recall that his stats were published in the old Rogue's Gallery. If anyone could post some "official" info (stats and any available background info), I would really appreciate it.

Thank you for posting that link!!! I have been searching for that thread a looong time. Great thread.

As for Erac there`s a small article about him in OJ #5
http://www.tc.umn.edu/~monax002/Council/OJ5/erac.html

And if i remember correctly Erac is mentioned and given stats in The Adventure Begins as a City of Greyhawk resident.

Erac also figures in Roger Moore's adventure "The House on Summoner Court" published in both the OJ and in Shadis #50. Scott Gregg put together some good research on Erac's origins and history, as well.

Erac's Cousin is also featured in 1980's The Rogues Gallery on page 42. It's an old AD&D product, but he's in there with a few iinteresting tidbits of information.

And that "Who Were the Original Members of the Horned Society" thread above is one of my all time favorite threads on this forum. Great discussion.

Happy gaming.

One version of that adventure is available online:

Shadis #50 (Aug 1998)
The House on Summoner Court, by Roger E. Moore
AD&D 2nd Edition, levels not provided. This adventure first appeared in The Oerth Journal #7, which differs significantly from the Shadis version; characters subjected to Erac's Cousin's machinations should be higher level than the Shadis version, probably 10+. It is also available at the RPG Archive.
