Bottle of the Bound
The Bottle of the Bound is the prison of the daemonic harbinger called Zelishkar, the Bitter Flame, and his army of fiends.1
Three command words are required to safely use the Bottle of the Bound: the Word of Opening, to unseal the bottle; the Word of Binding, to call forth and command its denizens; and the Word of Banishment, to return the fiends to the bottle. The words themselves have been lost but some Osirian wizards believe that the words are three names, spoken in Ancient Osiriani: the true name of Zelishkar, the name of the ifrit2 who aided in binding him, and the birth name of the Pharaoh of Forgotten Plagues.1
Prisoners
In addition to Zelishkar, the following are a number of the 666 fiends locked inside the Bottle of the Bound:1
- Ivixstayn and Loiix: conjoined quasits
- Lomotho, a venedaemon
- Splinter Spinster, an eremite velstrac
- Tascracraid, an obcisidaemon who has a sceptre that holds the soul of the Azlanti sage Opono
- Veil, an erinys
