Serpent Queen

Shanri the Serpent Queen was a demonic entity ruling a hidden kingdom within the cliffs of Mount Cudado. She was said to be thousands of years old and possessed of supernatural powers. Many explorers attempting to scale Mount Cudado’s “unconquerable” heights ran afoul of the semi-mythical Serpent Queen, fueling local fear and superstition. Shanri appeared as an alluring young woman in translucent robes, her very presence enough to drive men insane with desire. Her beauty hid an abomination which destroyed everything it touched. Few who met her managed to survive the experience, with those who did succumbing to a horrific death within a few days.
