A Princess of the Aurochs
Iejir’svern is a member of the royal family of the Aurochs, a civilization of dragonborn and lizardfolk who inhabit the swamps of southern Soguer – a land they call Veth’achuak’arux (our green valley). The royal family are also the shamanistic priesthood of the Aurochs, and Iejir’svern is a young but powerful spiritual leader of her people – she is well-liked by her subjects. She publically lives out the priesthood’s principals of harmony with nature, respect, patientce, and wisdom.
Currently she has been kidnapped by the Saurians, a group of priests in the Auroch society that worship gods rather than nature – a new phenemon within their society that has sprung up in the last few generations. They mainly revere Tiamat and Bahomet, viewing them as powerful complimentary dieties that extol them to become mighty, wealthy and powerful. Some among them also worship other dieties such as Errithul and Hextor. The Saurians resent the power and respect the royal line holds in Veth’achuak’arux and many among them wish to usurp the religious leadership of their people from the Aurochs. A bold group of Timat worshipers among them has kidnapped Iejir’svern to remove her charismatic hold over the people. But this treasonus sacralige was not their own plan – it was suggested to them by an agent of Brashel Ocktor – the priest of Orcus who is carefully building up his power in these lands.
A slender young dragonborn female with light blue-green scales, a small frill above her head, and curving horns, Iejir’svern tends to tap her fingers when nervous, and has a star-shaped patch of white scales on the end of her snout.
