Artha
Artha
9th level Cleric/Black Robe Wizard
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Artha is the daughter of Takhisis, the Queen of Darkness, and Chemosh,
Lord of the Undead, a result of a brief liaison following a quarrel
between Takhisis and her consort Sargonnas. Though Chemosh disowned her,
Takhisis hoped Artha would eventually assist her in the conquest of
Krynn. But Artha showed no interestin Takhisis' quest for power. Much
to the annoyance of her mother, Artha's sole passion was wealth and
treasure. Disgusted wtih Artha's uselessness, Takhisis banished her.
Artha eventually drifted to Krynn where she quietly accumulated immense
caches of treasure and engaged in random acts of destruction and
violence.
Artha normally appears as a hazy image of an obese woman shrouded in
dark fog, draped in shreds of black silk. Dark liquid drips from her
lumpy body. She also reeks of decaying meat, an aroma that permeates
the air for 100 yards.
Thanks to the rejection by her mother, Artha is cold and unemotional.
She craves wealth above all else and is indifferent to power.
Artha is sluggish and lazy. She refrains from combat, not out of fear,
but because of the effort required. Artha maintains a battery
of loyal minions - usually eyewings and black dragons - to do her
fighting for her.
