Lashonna is a silver dragon vampire and the highest-ranking cleric to the god Kyuss.

Description

Lashonna is dexribed as being "astonishingly beautiful" and "a remarkably beautiful woman".[1] Her skin is a pale alabaster, and her hair is long and silver.[1][2] She is also known for wearing "the latest fashion"[2] and even a "tiara set with black diamonds"[1].

Personality

Abilities

Abilities - Str 44*, Dex 25*, Con —, Int 28, Wis 27, Cha 44*[3] (Lashonna had a +5 inherent bonus to her Strength, Dexterity, and Charisma.)

Because of her centuries of training, Lashonna was a "practiced spellcaster"[4][3] and cast spells of up to 6th level as a 17th-level caster.[3]

Lashonna has all the powers, special attacks, special qualities, and immunities common to vampires, as well as most common vampiric weaknesses. However, draconic vampires are not deterred by immersion in water or averse to running water. Nor are they repelled by garlic nor mirrors.

Possessions

Lashonna was known to have carried many immensely powerful magic items including: amulet of resistance +5, bracers of mighty fists +5, ring of Charisma +5, ring of protection +5.

She also wore very expensive clothing, including a single, exquisite gown worth 12,000 gp.

Activities

Along with an avolakia Mahuudril, she founded the Ebon Triad, a cult that believes Erythnul, god of slaughter, Hextor, god of tyranny, and Vecna, god of secrets, are three parts of the one evil god. In reality, however, known only to herself and Mahuudril, the cult's activities empower Kyuss and help usher his prophesized Age of Worms.

Relationships

She held profound influence over the kingdom Redhand in the Bandit Kingdom and its ruler Prince Zeech, where she made her home, appearing as a beautiful elven woman.

History

Centuries ago, she was slain by Dragotha, the dracolich and most powerful servant of Kyuss. However, upon her death, the dark god resurrected her as a vampire. Over the centuries, Lashonna became the most devoted servant to Kyuss to the point of declaring herself his wife when the Age of Worms arrives. She was jealous of her god's favoritism of Dragotha, yet wasn't powerful enough to act against the dracolich.

Lashonna is presumed slain (in 596 CY) at the end of Dawn of a New Day by Tito Leati (Dungeon #135), which is the conclusion to the Age of Worms Adventure Path.
