A prakhutu , meaning "speaker" and also referred to as exarch , is the chosen rakshasa servant of an Overlord and one of the leaders of the Lords of Dust . [1] [2] [3]
Activities
A prakhutu has a specially close bond with their Overlord. [1] They act as the eyes and ears of these bound beings, and command their followers in their names. [2] To communicate with their masters, they have the ability to cast the commune spell once per day [1] or perform the Consult Oracle ritual, as well as magically transport themselves between their strongholds similarly to the Linked Portal ritual. [2]
All of the prakhutu serve on the Bleak Council of Ashtakala in the Demon Wastes , though not all members of the Council are prakhutu [1] and not all Overlords (such as Tiamat ) have prakhutu, preferring to operate apart from the Lords of Dust. [4]
Each prakhutu was served by a number of rakshasa agents known as Claws of Khyber or Fangs of Khyber, who in turn had pawns, minions and unwitting agents, to enact the plans of the Lords of Dust. [1] [2]
History
In the past, some exarchs revolted against their Overlords in a bid to seize their power for themselves. [2]
