Eibon is a fictional sorcerer who first appeared in the short story; [[Doorway to Saturn]]
==Personality==
Little is known about Eibon's personality. He was reputed to be a capable judge and law giver. He was allso found of poetry and sculpture though non of this survive.

==Biography==
The book of Eibon is work of the legendary magician and sage Eibon. Eibon lived towards the beginning of the later part of the Hyperborean age. His family died when he was very young but the necromancer Zylac took Eibon on as his prodigy after noticing the child allready growing enthusiasm for the magical arts.

After Zylac's death via a magical accident Eibon left his house and became a wander. He traveled the length and pretth of Hyperborea learning the secrets of the Voormi Shamans (a race many considered mindless at that time), the astrologers of the southern lands and the half mad wizard who dwelt on the slopes of [[Mount Vormadtih]]. It was during this period of time when Eibon first embraced the worship of the ancient god [[Tsathoggua]]

Eventually Eibon settled in the northern province of [[Mhu Thulan]] and built himself a tower from which he could survey the entire land of Hyperborea on the horizon. By this time Eibon had become re known as both a mighty sorcerer and venerable sage. Many sorcerers and other students of the magical arts travveled to Mhu Thulan to seek his wisdom. Even the kings of Hyperborea themselves would ocasionaly travel there to seek Eibon's council.

Throughout his life Eibon trained many others in the magic he had learnt. However the moods and political climate of Hyperborea changed over the years and the toad god Tsathoggua (Eibon's patron deity) feel out of favor. Eventualy threat of imminent execution by the priesthood of Yhounde forced Eibon to flee into the Dreamlands of Saturn using a magical gate given to him by Tsathoggua.
