![[NyseneEomanePathfinder-v2.webp]] # Nysene Eomane _Human Patriar | [[Parliament of Peers]] | [[Baldur's Gate]]_ ## Summary Notorious hostess of [[Eomane House]]'s masked revels and heiress of the [[Eomane Perfumery]]. She uses curfew laws to trap lower-class guests overnight for "games" that have escalated from humiliation to torture, and is building a blackmail network to secure a [[Council of Four]] seat. She is currently hosting the gala the party is investigating. %% ## Now Hosting the gala the party is investigating, running her overnight "games" and expanding her blackmail files toward a [[Council of Four]] seat. ## Appearance Sharp cheekbones and calculating green eyes, early thirties, always in deep crimson and black. She wears her signature Eomane perfume — roses and something darker underneath. ## Personality A predator in patriar clothing who views cruelty as both art and political tool. No accountability, no conscience, no limits except what she can get away with. Uses touch like a weapon and honeyed charm that turns to ice mid-sentence. She quotes philosophy she half-understands to justify cruelty she'd commit anyway, and believes social hierarchy makes her victims less than human. Her interest in [[Bane]] and [[Loviatar]] is aesthetic, not devout — a bored aristocrat who enjoys hurting people. ## Quote _"Compassion is such a bourgeois virtue, don't you think? The truly powerful understand that fear is the greatest teacher. Now—shall we play a game?"_ ## Connections **[[Thalamra Vanthampur]]** — using her as a credible scapegoat. ## Background **The "Shrine":** An amateur hodgepodge of [[Bane]] and [[Loviatar]] symbols in her basement. She preserves victim "trophies" in family perfume bottles — not religious offerings, just marketing for her own psychopathy. **Refugee Hunting:** When [[Elturel]] refugees arrive in numbers, she'll target them heavily — vulnerable, no legal standing, no voice. **Family Complicity:** Her siblings Dolandre, Rusorra, and Trenteller are embarrassed but enable her through inaction. **Not Connected:** She has nothing to do with the Vanthampur conspiracy or infernal plots. Hers is homegrown, parallel evil, and [[Thalamra Vanthampur]] is using her as a credible scapegoat. ## Secret A locked chest holds her blackmail files — compromising material on 8–10 patriars and [[Parliament of Peers]] members. That chest, not the parties, is her real path to power. ## Stats **Base:** Noble (MM p.348), modified. - Intimidation +5, Deception +7. - Concealed poisoned dagger and acid perfume (2d6, DC 12 Dex save). %%
