Ever feel like you’re just entirely beside yourself? Try being Manshoon! In this episode of Roll for Lore , we’re pulling back the dark, shadowy curtain on one of the most infamous archwizards in Dungeons & Dragons history. If you've ever crossed paths with the Zhentarim or played through Waterdeep: Dragon Heist , you’ve probably felt the lingering chill of his influence.
