Modrons are the embodiment of law and order, marching in lockstep through the planes. But when Nordom Whistlklik was separated from his fellow modrons, the essence of chaos infected this rogue quadrone. Now with his crossbow-shaped gear spirits in hand, he works to fit his complex new outlook into his logical—if quirky—understanding of the planes.Nordom the Modron has received some much-needed attention with his rework, improving his utility across formations and reinforcing his link to the Modron Core system. These changes will go live at the beginning of the second week of Simril 9 on Wednesday, December 10.
Let's talk about Nordom's rework!
