Religion
The erdrick's pantheon is based on the Dragon Warrior series - Master Dragon (lawful), Rubiss (neutral), and Malroth (chaotic).

Spellcasting
The erdrick's special spell is lightning. Erdricks can achieve Basic proficiency in matter, healing, and escape spells.

Quest
Main article: User:Kahran042/YANI/Erdrick quest
The quest sees you fighting the Dragonlord for the Ball of Light, a lawful artifact crystal ball. When carried, it confers magic resistance, telepathy, and half spell damage, and when wielded, it prevents light-based blinding. It can also be invoked to permanently light a section of the dungeon.
The quest leader is King Lorik.

To anyone who implements these renames, feel free to make any changes you want. My only request is that you not use the (IMHO) cringeworthy spell names from the DS translations.
