Sheshka , called the Queen of Stone , is the hereditary leader of the medusas of Cazhaak Draal , and by extension one of the most prominent warlords of Droaam . [3] [4] [5] [6]
Abilities
- the Eberron novels .
Her title is not merely an affection by one who rules over a relatively small area, but also reflects her connection with stone and her powers of petrification. So strong is her gaze that no spell may undo its effects, save for Sheska's own kiss. [1]
Aside from her potent powers as a medusa, she is a skilled hunter and a cunning strategist. She enjoys training basilisks and cockatrices , and has several of such domesticated creatures at her disposal, such as Szaj . [1]
Relations
Unlike some of the other warlords of Droaam, Sheshka shows true concern for her people. She is not known to be cruel, and while she respects what the Daughters of Sora Kell are trying to do, she has not yet thrown her lot in with them completely, waiting to see if doing so would truly serve her people's best interests. [4] [1]
In addition to Cazhaak Draal's medusas, Sheska also command creatures like basilisks and cockatrices . [5]
- the Eberron novels .
Besides these subjects, she also commands a contingent of Znir Pact gnolls, who guard the outlying approaches to her city. The medusa Carash is her ambassador at the court of the Great Crag . [1]
Personality
Sheshka is a proud and charismatic leader who holds her throne through cleverness and subtlety, not mere sheer force.
