			Bonespur is a secondary [[villain]] and antagonist in the module. He leads various attacks on the [[player character]]s, tracks their movements, and uses [[deception]] and [[trickery]] to make them paranoid, but he stays around for little direct fighting himself. His nightmare [[mount]] allows him to travel to the [[Border Ethereal]], and [[Bonespur's Amulet of Chain Contingency]] keeps him from an premature death. However, it has limited charges, thus allowing the [[player character]]s of getting a chance to eventually kill him.<ref>Thoughts of Darkness p. 15, 23-24, 28, 33-34, 43-44, 51, 59</ref>
