Some [[bandit]]s stole several [[statue]]s from one of Kyall's customers and a scroll and eventually sold them to the people of [[Canondale]]. This inadvertently set the village up as a target for Azenwrath's rampage.<ref>CotN: The Created p. 30-31</ref> (This situation is played out in [[the Lesser of Many Evils]] module.)

			==Gurrent Sketch==
			Azenwrath's mindset is entirely motivated by [[negative emotion]]s, particularly the obsessive desire to regain its lost parts. Azenwrath is very direct and [[violent]] in pursuing this goal, though if left to its own devices may simply be content to take its parts and leave. If unable to retrieve its parts in a quick amount of time, Azenwrath's [[intelligence]] begins to dwindle as it enters a pure [[feral]] state. It kills any oppostion and may tear apart an entire [[community]] that destroys its missing parts before they can be reintegrated into the golem's body.<ref>CotN: The Created p. 28-30, 35</ref>

			==Special Characteristics==
			Azenwrath can animate any objects made from its [[body]] and even utilize scrolls, within 50 miles. The eerie animaiton and whispers from such objects heralds the approach of the golem. Azenwrath can animate any [[tree]]s near its body parts. Azenwrath can also control any scroll (not merely those made from its body) in close proximity to it, even integrating them into its body.<ref>CotN: The Created p. 29-30</ref>

			==Game Statistics==
			*[[2nd Edition]]: unique [[Spellrune Golem]], 12 Hit Dice; [[Chaotic Neutral]]<ref>CotN: The Created p. 28</ref>
			*[[3rd Edition]]: never given statistics for 3E

			==Publication history==
			Azenwrath was first introduced as a detailed [[NPC]] profiled in the [[2nd Edition]] [[sourebook]] [[Children of the Night: The Created]], along with a small adventure [[module]], The Lesser of Many Evils. In the [[3rd Edition]] sourcebook [[Ravenloft Gazetteer I]], Azenwrath is mentioned as the creator of [[the Black Grove]] and the ancestor of its current leader, [[Ruinoake]].
