Sysania is a priest of an unusual tribe of animal-worshippers.

Description

Sysania is a beautiful woman with long medium brown hair with curls falling to the middle of her back in a great mane.

Her sun-touched skin is lightly covered at her extremities by light brown feathers.

Abilities

Sysania's people have developed abilities to communicate with animals, especially birds. They have also discovered magical means of altering their bodies to resemble birds. They are docile people but are fierce fighters when provoked.

Possessions

The only thing Sysania normally carries is a dagger, presumably for both utility and defense. Around her neck, she bears an amulet of life protection.

Publication History

Sysania originally appeared as one of the NPCs presented in the AD&D Trading Cards line on card number 180.

The art was pulled from Clayde Caldwell's cover of Rose Estes' The Price of Power, part of the Greyhawk Adventures line of novels featuring Mika-oba. Though the cover art for the novel represents a character in the book as well, it is not Sysania. This has been a minor criticism of the 1991 series of trading cards, because they reused art.
