Description
Atia Xixbris is 'The Queen' of Barcomber Castle Prison, a fortress on the Shadowfell built by Atia during her lifetime. Nearing the end of her life she ascended to minor divinity, combining divine assistance, complex magics, and the worship of a cult on the Material Plane devoted to the protection of portals and gates. She stands watch over beings from across the multiverse, keeping them weak through a twisting of the Shadowfell's innate ability to drain energy from it's denizens.
She has long since shed her mortality and uncountable millennia have hardened her spirit. Accompanied through the eternity by her companion in life, who she imbued with some of her divine power, she has not fallen to the madness that permeates the Plane. While unlikely friendly towards anyone who comes knocking, those who seek her services to seal away a powerful entity or who do her the service of returning a being somehow freed from her capture will find her amiable to pleasant. While she lacks the ability to grant the divine gifts of the gods of the great pantheon she is still an extremely knowledgeable and powerful being, capable of feats beyond the comprehension of mortals, in possession of items of items of great power, and even able to make introductions across the multiverse.
"A large humanoid figure stands before you, it's body and clothing appear to be made of woven shadow. Even though it's body is little more than darkness you can clearly make out a slender feminine form and luxuriously, even regal, styled clothing wrapping the form. A pair of glowing eyes shine in the being's face, pools of divine light. Her hair is wrapped up into an elegant and elaborate bun held in place by an ornate heptagonal star shaped pin made of a white crystal material. A set of stars hover around her shoulders like a shawl of dim light."
Atia wields Umbraleone, short sword style weapons created from shadows and the energy she draws from both her divinity and her captives, a modified form of shadow blades. In addition Atia has a set of six star-like motes of energy, Black Stars, that glow a strange shadowy light. She can use these as a weapon, shooting them at targets, that explode with raw energy on impact. Beyond these weapons, Atia's spellcasting abilities in life have evolved into the ability to innately cast some spells that she has mastered over the ages.
