RUAIDHRI HAWKBANE
(The Silver Hunter)
Bane of Lycanthropes, Patron of Hunters
Level, Alignment, Sphere: 3 rd (Initiate), LE, Thought
Symbol: A giant hawk with human eyes pierced by a
silver arrow in its chest
Portfolio: Destroying all lycanthropes, protecting
demi-humans, hunting, revenge
Worshipped in: Known World (Minrothad,
Darokin), Sind, Undersea
Appearance: Ruaidhri is an elven hunter wearing
silvered chain mail and wielding a silver longsword, with
a longbow on his shoulders and silver-tipped arrows in
his quiver.
History: Ruaidhri was born in the IV century AC on
the Traders’ Isle in Minrothad into a family of wood
elves. He witnessed all his parents and relatives massacred
by werehawks during the spreading of lycanthropy in
Minrothad. Mad with rage and burning with vengeance,
he led the faction of elves that eventually brought about
the Silver Purge in AC 443. After ridding Minrothad of
its werebeasts, he left his home to complete his revenge,
following all traces and rumours pointing to the existence
of werehawks around the world. He killed the last
member of that race in AC 593. After all his travels and
experiences he was convinced that despite all his efforts
and long life, a mere mortal could never free the world
from the plague of lycanthropy. Because of this, he chose
to walk the path towards immortality: in order to
continue his hunt for all eternity. He became an
Immortal in the VIII century AC, and his cult is
especially prevalent in Minrothad and Undersea.
Personality: Ruaidhri’s crusade, against what he
perceives to be a cursed race that preys on the living and
is above all a constant threat to the life of all
demi-humans (he was an elf), obsesses him. Because of
this, he eliminates werecreatures without regret or mercy.
Because of his ruthless hatred of all lycanthropes, he has
become a fierce enemy of Mrikitat, Orcus, and even
Zirchev, who instead protects them. Ruaidhri is a loner
who doesn’t want stable alliances, and even his sponsor,
Malinois, abandoned him when he realized the extent of
his pupil’s hatred. In order to pursue his vendetta,
Ruaidhri will go to great lengths, even allying himself
with Entropics needed.

SAASSKAS THE DESTROYER
(Panzuriel)
Patroness of the Devilfish and Death
Level, Alignment, Sphere: 17 th (Celestial), CE,
Entropy
Symbol: a black manta seen from above
Portfolio: destruction, conquest, necromancy, oceans,
devilfish
Worshipped in: Izondan Abyss, Sea of Dread,
Undersea, and everywhere where devilfish are present
Appearance: Saasskas’s first form is that of an
enormous ink black manta with keen fangs that extend
from its mouth. The second form is that of a creature with
the upper half of a human woman with a face deformed by
an enormous mouth and fangs. It has smooth, milky skin, six
muscular, weapon-wielding arms, and a powerfully long
serpent tail of white scales. Its nude back bears a tattoo of a
black manta.
History: Saasskas began her mortal life as one of the
most ruthless devilfish of the southern seas. After leading
legions of her kind to raid and predate the other
underwater races for decades, she succeeding eventually
in becoming a vampire (ixitxachitl) thanks to a pact with
Demogorgon. From that moment, she dedicated herself
to achieving true immortality, a goal she realised around
XXIV century BC. She accomplished this by sacrificing
thousands of tritons on altars situated in the oceanic
depths of the Izondan Deep and causing an entire triton
population to flee in fear of her. After spending couple of
centuries in the outer planes advancing the plans of
Entropy, Saasskas returned to Mystara and saw that her
natural enemies, the tritons, were living in the Sunlit Sea
and had founded Undersea. She appeared to her followers
and exhorted them to undertake an evil crusade against
the Sunlit Sea tritons, guiding their actions from the
shadows. She also subjugated some Taymoran priests
inducing them to follow the entropic cause and harass her
enemies. Following the terrible natural catastrophe that
caused the Taymoran region to sink into the Sea of
Dread, Saasskas took many of the Taymoran dead and
reanimated them as zombies and velya under her control,
spreading them throughout the Sea of Dread. Today
Saasskas controls many hordes of undead, devilfish and
pirates, scattered throughout the Sea of Dread, where her
humanoid followers also know her as Panzuriel.
Personality: Saasskas is an unfaithful yet far-sighted
Immortal. She prefers corrupting and later exploiting all
those that venture into the dark realm of her followers,
and isn’t in any hurry to achieve her aims, given that she
has a firm conviction in the absolute power of chaos. She
