Masvirik

Masvirik , known as the Cold Sun , is an Overlord from the Age of Demons with dominion over reptilian creatures and that is mostly forgotten outside of the lizardfolk tribes of the Masvirik'Uala . [1]

History

Masvirik is an entity that once claimed dominion over modern-day Q'barra that is all but forgotten in modern times outside of the dreams of lizardfolk and the plagued mind of Rhashaak , its once guardian and now corrupted voice. [1]

In the Age of Demons, Masvirik dominated the lizardfolk and other scaly creatures of the region from his throne in the city of Haka'torvhak . [1] But the sacrifice of the couatl to form the Silver Flame bound him and freed the lizardfolk from his will. [1] Black dragons soon were dispatched to watch over the obsidian city of Haka'torvhak, which are said to contain fiends trapped since the Age of Demons. [2]

Three thousand years after Rhashaak's watch first began, Masvirik escaped his bonds and warped his guardian to exert its will over the region once again. [1] Eberron dragonshards housing the scattered shards of his essence flared, and awakened ancient dreams in the lizardfolk. [1] Along with the return of the dragonborn descendants of the legions of the original members of the Light of Siberys , long-since spread out across the lands of eastern Khorvaire under dreams of conquest, this helped seal Masvirik within its prison. [1]

Relationships

Masvirik has some followers among the Lords of Dust , but maintains no prakhutu on the Bleak Council . [1]

Description & Personality

Masvirik's appearance is unknown. He maintains a bond with his guardian and chosen servant, the dragon-god Rhashaak. [1]

Masvirik is considered cousin to Tiamat , and they may clash over portfolios. [1] Masvirik has dominion over scaly, venomous creatures that slither and crawl. [1]

Abilities

Masvirik is said to have the ability to warp lizardfolk into creatures like the kobolds and troglodytes to serve as servants to his will. [1]

Appendix

Notes

Masvirik may bear some resemblance to the serpent deity Zehir from 4 th -edition core D&D, including a potential rivalry with Tiamat, a fellow Overlord with dominion over dragons . [1]

Keith Baker has suggested on his website that Rhashaak may be a puppet to the fully cognizant Overlord, a mad dragon beset by delusions of grandeur believing himself to be a god, a tortured guardian aware of its fallen state seeking absolution, or any combination of these or others. [3]
