Simbul

Lore & Background

Beneath her fearsome reputation lies a complex web of alliances and rivalries with the other Chosen of Mystra. While she ages gracefully through magic—watching empires crumble into dust while her own form remains untouched by time—her rule is a relentless fusion of military might and arcane dominance. She ensures that Aglarond stands as the sole bastion in the region capable of matching Thay's dark ambitions.

In Their Own Story

The wind screamed across the Citadel of the Seven Sisters, carrying the sharp scent of ozone and scorched stone. Within the throne room, heat waves distorted the air as the Simbul loomed over a map of Thay. Her eyes burned with an inner inferno that mirrored the Spellfire writhing around her fingertips. She did not shout; her will was command enough. With a casual flick of her wrist, a phantom legion of spectral knights materialized, roaring in silent fury. "Let them come," she whispered, her voice rolling like distant thunder. "Let the Red Wizards bring their armies. I will transmute their necromancy into ash before they breach the border." As she turned, the shadows themselves seemed to bow, leaving behind only a faint trace of lavender and the lingering, raw heat of unleashed magic.

Reader's Guide

Her capabilities transcend standard wizardry: she can fly unaided, cast spells without verbal or somatic components, and even survive the vacuum of space. The Simbul is no typical hero; she is a ruler who makes brutal choices for the greater good, often isolating herself to bear the weight of her realm's survival.
