	By the start of ''Tower of Doom'', Sirraul's flimflam of an inquisition wass fully under way (even knocked into high gear), with Caidin only needing a few more [[soul]]s to complete his plans to animate his Tower of Doom. However, Caidin's actions were sloppy enough to draw the attention of Azalin. Azalin sent [[Jadis]], a [[~~Kargant~~]] [[agent]] and [[spy]], to keep him appraised of the situation.		By the start of ''Tower of Doom'', Sirraul's flimflam of an inquisition wass fully under way (even knocked into high gear), with Caidin only needing a few more [[soul]]s to complete his plans to animate his Tower of Doom. However, Caidin's actions were sloppy enough to draw the attention of Azalin. Azalin sent [[Jadis]], a [[Kargat]] [[agent]] and [[spy]], to keep him appraised of the situation.

	As Baron Caidin initiated his scheme, so do did Wort. To find a way of revenge on his brother and Nartok society in general, Wort sneaked into the [[dungeon]]s of [[Nartok Keep]] to speak with [[Brinn]], a [[darkling]] [[seer]] held captive by Caidin. Brinn told Wort of [[the Bell of Doom (Wort)\|the Bell of Doom]], a dread [[artifact]] of darkness with [[ancient]] origins similar to Caidin's [[Soulstone]]. Once Wort located the Bell and brought it back to his [[Old Bell Tower of Nartok, his old bell tower], be began a series of murders committed by proxy via the evil [[ghost]]s conjured by the Bell's ringing. [[Castellan Domeck was Wort's first victim, the murder of whom Wort pinned upon [[Sir Logris]]. The second murder was Contessa Sabrinda, the murder of whom Wort pinned upon Lord Inquisitor Sirraun. So incensed was the baron that Sirraun's pleas went entirely unheard.		As Baron Caidin initiated his scheme, so do did Wort.

He disguised the [[mass murder\|harvesting of bodies]] behind a phony inquisition, with Sirraun falsely accusing many of Caidin's own subjects of conspiring against him.

			Highly [[handsome]] and debonair, Baron Caidin was [[debauched\|a womanizer]], fancying himself as irresistible to the opposite sex. At the time of Tower of Doom's beginning, his current favored [[mistress]] was [[Contessa Sabrinda]].<ref>ToD p. 117</ref> However, she was merely buttering him up to impress her real lover, [[Sir Beacham]], upon Caidin, such that the baron may award him a fiefdom. Thereby, Sabrinda and her lover would leave to live there together peacefully.<ref>ToD p. 130-131</ref>
