Sajra the Swyn

A narcissistic, monkey-headed serpent recently arrived in a ruined Green Lord's tomb about a day and a half from town. It has dominated nearby crinwin nests and bent them to abducting children for its collection.

Sajra is the worked-example threat from Book I's Threats chapter — written up step by step as the GM's first adventure villain. Use it as the template when authoring a fresh villain threat: tomb-dwelling, vain, gathering minions, escalating toward open subjugation.

Recently moved into a ruined Green Lord's tomb in The Great Wood (from where? — left blank). Has dominated a few nests of Crinwin (rabble, to covet); they've been stealing children for it. Holds Wynfor (Caradoc's nephew) and at least one other child (who? — left blank).

• More children go missing
• Some of the entranced children return
• The children recruit followers
• Sajra reveals itself, demands servitude

Impending doom: Subjugates Stonetop, killing or mesmerizing any opposition.

• Will Wynfor's parents forgive Caradoc?
• What will become of the stolen children brought under Sajra's control?

• Plant a suggestion in another's mind
• Turn the weak-willed into fawning servants
