# Magnora Moltenhand _Fire Giant Warlord | [[Ironslag]] | Possessed by [[Narcellia Varam'myr]]_ ## Summary A fierce fire giant warlord whose tactical brilliance and ruthless ambition made her [[Zaltimar]]'s perfect partner in conquest. When she came to [[Grudd Haug]] seeking alliance with [[Bad Fruul]], her body was possessed by the drow spirit [[Narcellia Varam'myr]]—who had been trapped in Bad Fruul's Headband of Intellect for thirty years. Using Magnora's memories to gain Zaltimar's trust, Narcellia became his lover while the real Magnora screamed warnings that would never be heard. During the Siege of Yartar, Narcellia (in Magnora's body) cast devastating spells including an Earthquake that nearly brought down the walls—stopped only when [[Eldraki]]'s aim proved true and broke her concentration. When Zaltimar fell to [[Petra]]'s arrow, Narcellia escaped in Magnora's body. She remains at large—the real Magnora effectively dead, her body a vessel for the drow spirit's continued schemes. %% ## At a Glance Towering fire giant with molten amber eyes and iron-gray hair braided with bone trophies from defeated enemies. Battle-scarred armor decorated with skulls of giants who challenged her authority. Since possession, moves with predatory grace combining giant strength with drow cunning. Originally commanded with booming authority, punctuating orders with hammer blows on her shield. Since possession, speaks with calculated menace—voice carrying both giant power and drow venom. ## Personality Rose to power by conquering rival fire giant clans in brutal campaigns. Only giant who could match Zaltimar's tactical thinking and ruthlessness. Led the military planning for his eventual challenge to [[Zalto]]'s throne. **The Possession:** Narcellia Varam'myr endured thirty years imprisoned in a Headband of Intellect after [[Mya Haventree]] trapped her essence during a failed Lolth-commanded attack on Goldenfields. Forced to whisper and manipulate whoever wore her cage, she taught ambitious hill giant Bad Fruul warfare and magic. When heroes killed Bad Fruul, she seized her escape—possessing Magnora who had come seeking alliance. **Current Status:** Narcellia escaped the Siege of Yartar in Magnora's body. Her whereabouts are unknown, but her grudge against the Goldenfields and [[Mya Haventree]] remains. ## Quote _"Weakness is a disease that spreads unless you burn it out. I am the cure."_ ## Stats **Fire Giant** (MM 154). When possessed: add Narcellia Varam'myr's spellcasting, Legendary Actions (2/turn) for combined giant/drow expertise. %%
