Grishom Stone is a powerful merchant believed to be from Mestanir. His father was Sebastian Stone. He presently owns an island in Mist Harbor and used to frequent Wehnimer's Landing. At one time before withdrawing he was a Mayor candidate. He also spearheaded the rebuilding of the bathhouse now called Stone's Baths where he keeps an office as well as the renovations to the Wehnimer's Landing museum.

Grishom has been known to have a certain allure with women and enjoys their company, namely with those green eyes.

He betrayed the Landing and was killed, but a demon, Althedeus had attached itself to him, so he survived after having drowned and then killed, yet a third time.

Currently, he is rumored to be in the Sea of Fire amassing power. He created the Deadfall to empower him with blood sacrifice or worship and he hold's the legendary Star of Khar'ta.

Background

Grishom first came to Wehnimer's Landing under the guise of a wealthy merchant from Mestanir, which was in truth partially correct. However, he was also a secret member of the Arcane Eyes, a group of dark and powerful summoners. He bought and restored Cholgar's Bathhouse, renaming it the Stone Baths. He heavily financed the renovations to the Landing Museum and built a small manor on an island off of Mist Harbor. He unsuccessfully ran for Mayor of Wehnimer's, but later resigned his campaign. His secret villainy tormented Wehnimer's Landing for over two years until his dark nature was finally exposed and his plans of creating a new urnon golem, after his last had been destroyed, were thwarted. He had been responsible for the death of many women and innocents in the town, manipulation of local politicians, the release of Drangell, and even practicing dark blood magic to create a small army of flesh golems made in his image. In the end, with the selfish aid of Elithain Cross, a group of Elanthian adventurers was able to stop Grishom and turned him into stone before shattering him into hundreds of pieces. Despite him being presumed dead, there are rumors abound to the contrary.
