Aspect of Na'zeem

Na'Zeem is the Arachne goddess of war, conquest and order no matter the form. her weapons shining bright against the bloodshed of war. like all gods, if proper requirements are met, she can summon her aspect to rule the lucky clan for their fight. Na'Zeem is mainly pictured as a 60 foot tall Arachne Women with Elvish humanoid features. short white hair that drips down the back of her head, eight crimson shaded eyes with a pale skin tone, her spider body being a thin shade of lavender in colour with the red symbol of two blades crossing on top of her abdomen. she's also often seen in full plated armor, covering everything but her head. the armor is curved with black shading and red outlines, being rather pretty and terrifying at the same time. The War Queen carries her forged blade "the web of malice". a longsword about as long as she is tall, the blade being made out of a mix of dragon bone and adamantine, the guard and drip with similar materials designed specifically for Na'Zeem's clawed hands.  

Blood and Blades. Na'Zeem was once a simple elvish women, a complex family sure but a happy one, with many brothers and sisters to turn to, why did she become this warlord? simple, betrayal. her late husband didn't take long to show himself as an abusive wood elf which Na'Zeem had no power over. her body under her armor still covered in the various scars of his slashes and beatings. the words "I own you" branded onto her back. a cursed mark that reminds Na'Zeem why she sees the world in need of change

Worship and War. Worshipping Na'Zeem has you following her ideals. she wishes for war but only when its right. her power being gifted to those she says follow her war path the right way. those who stray from her path are swiftly shown why there's a difference between war and slaughter 

The Arachne Curse. Na'Zeem's blade along with others are inflicted with a curse simply known as "the Arachne Curse". a creature infected with this curse will feel its symptoms immediately if it came from Na'zeem. these can include an odd comfort in dark areas. a need to spin a web of some kind, a hunger for fresh meat and more. an infected creature rolls a D8 and adds their constitution modifier to the roll. after that amount of days the creature Transforms into a half spider version of themselves. before the transformation occurs the curse can be cured with a remove curse cast at 7th level or higher. after the transformation however, the creature can only be restored by wish

Roleplaying Na'Zeem

While Na'Zeem is evil. She still is noble in her intent, believing the world would be better if Arachne were in charge. as such she is devoted to her cause with a stubborn and optimistic attitude with a sense of honor. while she seems rather cold to most, she warms up to most of her kind and to people that share her goals and ideals

Ideal: "War. its the only path to evolution. Keep marching forward"

Bond: "My clan and kin are my only family, I will guide them through battle" 

Flaw: "I don't trust anyone outside my kin. and if I do its with high suspicion" 

Tenets of the War Queen.

Many Arachne Worship Na'Zeem and know the tenets by heart. but to anyone whose new to the war queen's love these tenets may be useful

Sharpen yourself. "Like you sharpen your sword or build up your armor. your body is as important. hone your skills and keep it strong"

Fight Those who fight back. "Attacking civilians isn't a show of power its a show of carelessness. take them in if you can. if not, let them go"

Understand War. "War isn't mass murder. its an art, respect those who fall by your hand as they would you"

Scared or Aroused?

Na'Zeem's Powerful Aura trait tends to make her foes frightened or charmed by her, although it is her choice it doesn't need to be. if a character fails the save ask yourself: Would this Character be terrified, worried, paranoid or still when looking at this 60 foot tall spider? if yes to any of those it is frightened. if the character is instead aroused, interested, potently respectful or remorseful then it would be charmed   

Na'Zeem's Aspect tends to sets her lair within the deeper ends of the cave it is summoned in. allowing it to become a domain of war and power

Lair Actions

On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), Na'Zeem takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; Na'Zeem can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:

• Na'Zeem unleashes a mighty scratch that terrifies foes. creatures of her choice within the lair must succeed a DC 18 wisdom saving throw or be frightened until initiative count 20 next round   
• Spiderlings crawl across the floors of the lair. covering it webs and making it difficult terrain for 1 hour or until Na'Zeem uses another lair action
• a point venom coats the weapons of soldiers. until initiative count 20 next round, creatures of Na'Zeem's choice deal an extra 2d6 poison damage with weapon attacks

Regional Effects

The region containing Na'Zeem's lair is always prime for war and lies. which creates one or more of the following effects:

• Spiders and Arachne grow in immense amounts within 6 miles of the lair
• Forges and smiths work twice as effectively within 26 miles of the lair
• creatures within 6 miles of the lair are oddly vigilant and aggressive. even normally docile creatures 

If Na'Zeem dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d4 days.
