I am a leader of my fellows. Small we are, yet we hide among the large. We are hunted by many but we can hold our own. If things get too dangerous we may flee or I will draw upon the power of my disease. We are a bit of a mystery.
I am not from where I'm going to. I've been there already once before - It was quite popular in the old days. Hmm, there's another dimension to it, and it will be popular once again!
@Mush_Mush, @Tresset - no wonder I couldn't figure out @Mush_Mush's riddle, I've no idea who Kholynnus Paac is. Caould one of you explain who he is and why he's the answer, please?
It is indeed Lord Foreshadow, @Gallowglass. He references the Neverwinter Nights game that was in early development back then (when BG1 came out), and mentions the original online Neverwinter Nights.

She is a Mage that helps return the Solamnic Knights back to their home plane. You can hire her for 9000 gold and in return you are awarded the golden girdle from Reyna. It's during the planar sphere stronghold questline.
What is funny is that, at least in the original, you can first kill her in the last of the battles with Cowled Wizards if you don't pay the license and than hire her to deal with the Solamnics.
@Mush_Mush - ah yes, now I remember! I haven't done the Mage stronghold for quite some time, and I'd forgotten about her. Thanks very much for explaining. And thanks for a good riddle!
Now I've got to think of one, give me a few minutes.
@Mush_Mush - I agree that Gaal fits the first two clues, but he doesn't really fit the third, nor indeed the fourth clue I gave as a hint. (But I've already warned you that the third clue is a cryptic, not a literal!)
Further hint: if you can figure out which particular idiom the fourth clue is referring to, the answer will be obvious even without the original three clues.
Aw heck, this is getting too long without a solution! Obviously I've gone and made it too difficult again.
Summoning @Jaheiras_Witness as OP and @Tresset and @Montresor_SP as leading solvers: is it within the rules, guys, for me simply to declare myself the winner of my own riddle (because no-one is solving it), and offer another instead?
@gorgonzola - no. (Further hint: blindness is not the explanation for the second clue.)
@Mush_Mush - no and no. (I see you're focussing on the trading implication of the fourth clue ... Fael may be closer to the right sort of thinking than Jahaboam.)
Hmmm, still no-one figuring this out. Okay, one more helpful hint ... this time a big one which really ought to narrow it down enough for someone to crack the riddle:-
The solution is in the Underdark.
(Now if even that doesn't shake loose a winner, I'm going to give up on this one and try to think of an easier riddle instead.)

For those who are wondering, Chinchilla has lycanthropy, which is the disease I was referring to. The rest should be pretty obvious.

I tell the truth, I say!
Hand-waving will get you nowhere.
I hear Dorn is pretty wearing.
The first clue is literal.
The second clue is deductive.
The third clue is cryptic (like a crossword cryptic).
Trading with me is idiomatically almost worthless.
1. He claims to speak the truth and his whole gig is about knowing the truth
2. He's blind
3. He is (sortof) in earshot of where you find Dorn.

Perhaps if you just say which game the character appears in to narrow down a little?
He is certainly idiomatically worthless but I don't remember his script to know if he really fits the other clues.
@Francois - nope.
@Mush_Mush - no and no. (I see you're focussing on the trading implication of the fourth clue ... Fael may be closer to the right sort of thinking than Jahaboam.)
