Summary
It should be noted that the participants in this campaign were teenagers.
The game had a main thread following a human wizard protagonist named "Pendel Lum", and intentional in-world reference to the artifact "The Machine of Lum the Mad", as the campaign was meant to tell the backstory of the wizard who would eventually create that artifact. The geography for this campaign was a novel creation by the GM.
Pendel's primary achievements included wishing for a spell book containing every wizard spell, becoming a greater wolfwere, learning that his ancestor was "Lum the Mad", time travelling backward in time to become "Lum the Mad" (his own ancestor), creating the Machine of Lum the Mad, and eventually becoming a lich named Pendulum. In the end, he prevailed in the "Maze of Infinity" to achieve the station of Immortal, serving Ioun, the Lord of Necessity of Magic.
