Jump to navigationJump to search

A Vassalich who strongly resembles his creator, Azalin and resides in Azalin's Crypt Lair. Out of a sense of nostalgia for his lost life, Balipur has taken up biology as a pastime. He has created a breed of spider: the White Spider. He is fond of dissection and is interested in creating living animals of parts taken from dead ones. It is unclear if he has made any appreciable progress towards his goal.[1]

Balipur was a native of Darkon whose crimes brought him to Azalin's attention. Azalin's punishment was turning Balipur into a vassalich. Ultimately, Azalin used Balipur as a decoy during the Grand Conjunction.[1]
