![[Narcellia and Magnora.png]] # Narcellia Varam'myr _Drow Sorceress | Possessing [[Magnora]] | [[Ironslag]]_ ## Summary Vengeful drow spirit possessing fire giant [[Magnora]]'s body. Arrived at [[Ironslag]] as [[Zaltimar]]'s grieving lover after he died at the [[Crimson Siege]]. [[Zalto]] and [[Brimskarda]] see a loyal fire giant mourning their son. They don't see the drow spirit scheming to burn [[Goldenfields]] to ash—or her manipulation of the desperate [[Zaltember]]. %% ## At a Glance Towering fire giant warrior—[[Magnora]]'s body. Eyes occasionally flash obsidian dark. Measured, aristocratic speech patterns slip through; traces spider-web patterns unconsciously. The real Magnora is still inside, screaming. Promised [[Zaltimar]] they'd torch [[Goldenfields]] together. Intends to keep that promise without him. A [[Devastation Orb]] or the [[Vonindod]] would serve nicely. She's positioning herself as the only one who believes in [[Zaltember]]—when she's ready, she'll point him somewhere destructive. ## Personality Calculating, vindictive, patient. Endured thirty years of imprisonment in a Headband of Intellect with bitter determination. Wants to burn things. Doesn't care about [[Zalto]]'s dragon obsession or fire giant politics—they're just tools. ## Quote _"Power is fluid—it matters not what vessel contains it, only that I direct its flow."_ ## Background **The Imprisonment:** [[Mya Haventree]] trapped her essence in a Headband of Intellect for thirty years after defeating her during a [[Lolth]]-commanded attack on [[Goldenfields]]. Forced to whisper and manipulate whoever wore her cage—including teaching the ambitious hill giant [[Bad Fruul]] warfare and magic. **The Escape:** When heroes killed [[Bad Fruul]] at [[Grudd Haug]], she possessed fire giant warrior [[Magnora]] who had come seeking alliance. Used Magnora's memories to gain [[Zaltimar]]'s trust, became his lover. The real Magnora screams warnings that will never be heard. **The Siege:** Her earthquake spell nearly broke [[Yartar]]'s walls during the [[Crimson Siege]]. When [[Petra]] killed [[Zaltimar]], Narcellia escaped in the chaos and made her way to [[Ironslag]]. ## Stats **Archmage** (MM 342) with: - Possession: Can possess humanoids or giants; host's eyes flash obsidian when she exerts control - Host memories fully accessible - Current host: [[Magnora]] (Fire Giant stats when physical) %%
