![[Nysene Eomane.png]] # Nysene Eomane _Human Patriar | [[Eomane Perfumery]] Heiress | [[Baldur's Gate]]_ ## Summary Notorious hostess of [[Eomane House]]'s masked revels. Uses curfew laws to trap lower-class guests overnight for "games" that have escalated from humiliation to torture. Building a blackmail network to secure a [[Council of Four]] seat. Currently hosting the gala the party is investigating. %% ## At a Glance Sharp cheekbones, calculating green eyes, early thirties. Always in deep crimson and black, always wearing signature Eomane perfume—roses and something darker. Ash, maybe. Or iron. The kind of beauty that makes you check your pockets. Honeyed charm that turns to ice mid-sentence. Uses touch like a weapon. Quotes philosophy she half-understands to justify cruelty she'd commit anyway. Dilettante interest in [[Bane]] and [[Loviatar]]—finds their aesthetics validating, but she's not a true believer. Just a bored aristocrat who's discovered she enjoys hurting people. ## Personality Predator in patriar clothing. Views cruelty as art and political tool in equal measure. No accountability, no conscience, no limits except what she can get away with. Genuinely believes social hierarchy makes her victims less than human. ## 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?"_ ## Background **The "Shrine":** Amateur hodgepodge of [[Bane]]/[[Loviatar]] symbols in her basement. Preserves victim "trophies" in family perfume bottles—not religious offerings, just psychopathy with good marketing. **Blackmail Files:** Locked chest with compromising material on 8-10 patriars and [[Parliament of Peers|Parliament]] members. Her real path to power. **Refugee Hunting:** When [[Elturel]] refugees arrive in numbers, she'll target them heavily. Vulnerable, no legal standing, no voice. Perfect prey. **Family Complicity:** Siblings Dolandre, Rusorra, and Trenteller are embarrassed but enable through inaction. **Not Connected:** Has nothing to do with [[Archived - Vanthampur Conspiracy]] or infernal plots. Parallel evil—the homegrown kind. [[Thalamra Vanthampur]] is using her as a credible scapegoat. ## Stats **Noble** (MM 348) with Intimidation +5, Deception +7. Concealed poisoned dagger and acid perfume (2d6, DC 12 Dex save). %%
