Description

To obtain the gem he intends to sacrifice a child and so restore the city of Zayla. He has no devotion to any specific god and believes death is total annihilation, without punishment or reward. He carries a magical sacrificial dagger that strikes with a sure, irremediable blow. His origin is recorded as a drow city whose name arrived garbled, something like “Termo Web Pitch”.

Open questions

  • The source gives Zaira in one place and Zayla in another; whether they are one city or two is not settled.
