Role

Chapter 2

The Iskarion clan were once a strange group of mystics within the
Underdark. Far apart from worshipping the Spider Goddess, they were
mercenaries and advisors, often brought in to resolve disputes.
They seemed to be able to pierce multiple veils deep within the souls
of words, souls of the living, souls of the dead, and even souls of
the inanimate. Their take on the laws of the society was often
rather novel, but always with wisdom forethought. But in the cold
dank world of the Underdark, craftiness may become one's undoing,
especially if the craftiness is focused on other items.

Skaya was born with an insightful but cruel mindset. She was born
a lowly servant within the Iskarion clan, but her brilliance and
wisdom seems to outpace her masters. She was especially adept at
understanding the nuances of different items and seeing through
the veils of complexity. At a young age, she began to create traps,
just to understand and see them go off. Initially, they were used
to capture the giant rats of the Underdark that were raiding the
pantry. The Iskarions tolerated her tenacity for they were too
intrigued by what other mastery she might bring. They were especially
curious at the ways that her complex traps seemed to have a pattern,
almost as if perceiving the flow of life and death and understanding
the souls of the dead that she seemed to harvest through her traps.

However, a wildfire often cannot be tamed without a purpose. Soon,
they became too complex and too cruel, and she became not only the
Executioner of the Iskarions by experimenting her traps onto prisoners
and traitors, but also unto her peers. Through her mischieviousness
and hobby, a cascading sequence of traps erupted next to each other
, nearly bringing ruins to the Iskarion enclave. Horrified at what
she nearly done with her hobby to her masters and family and knowing
what vengeful wrath such would bring, Skaya fled the Iskarion clan
and the Underdark to the surface.
