Forgotten Realms Wiki  Nergal (archdevil)  14,975pages on this
wiki  Nergal is an outcast archdevil exiled by Asmodeus to
Avernus. In an attempt to learn the secrets of silver fire, he
captured Elminster while the wizard was in Avernus and exhausted
from sealing a planar rift between Avernus and Shadowdale.[1]
Nergal subjected Elminster to horrific suffering, all the while
stealing his memories using a mental link, until Nergal's body
was destroyed by the Simbul (his life-force seemingly
escaped).[1]     1. 1.0 1.1 Ed Greenwood (May 2002). Elminster
