| abstract | - Derbelderhed is a character that appears in Might and Magic: The Dreamwright and Might and Magic: The Shadowsmith. He was a member of the Green Moth Society, and a good friend of Pandandoleet and Pomponderant. Hitch described him as a "stocky, nearsighted individual in robes of periwinkle blue", and thought that, compared to Pomponderant, he was "taciturn and unpretentious". When Diligence's caravan was traveling to the crystal palace, Derbelderhed sent a waft to Pomponderant to inform him of an old ruin he was excavating in the Aulmad. Pomponderant left the caravan that same night, and the two spent many days examining the wondrous artifacts, which included a recording of the Rout of Red Harra. They then headed to the crystal palace on their own, hoping to trade some historial records of the Aulmad for some information beneficial to their Society. They arrived to find the Unseen Wall under attack. When the remains of the caravan finally reached the crystal palace, Derbelderhed and Pomponderant demonstrated to them how the Dreamwright machine worked, and showed them images from far away. As soon as he had the opportunity to speak privately to Hitch, he told the boy that Pandandoleet had been a dear friend of his, and thanked him for being there for her at the end. After Hitch and Jassad Attqua fell through the magic portal, Derbelderhed and Pomponderant spent many long days searching for them through the Dreamwright machine, hoping to get both the new Dreamwright and the Staff of Blue Light to safety. As soon as Hitch returned, Derbelderhed came over and gave him a hearty hug, "his plump face shining".
