Banshee Queen
Banshee Queen
Banshee, CE Medium Undead (Incorporeal)
Complex Monster, XP 13650
Level 26 (+9)
"The Tombs below hold more than just Ghouls and Beasts, so they say. There is one who rules them all, although she seems hardly aware of their presence. No, they just follow her because to do anything less would unmake them all."
——Toinor Brasscane, Dwarven Priest
The Banshee Queen appears as a beautiful ghostly matron, serene and graceful. At first, upon detecting the presence of mortal life, her face twists into a monstrous expression of horror and she unleashes her ceaseless torment into the minds of the weak. The Banshee Queen has lived in misery for centuries and in this time has absorbed incredible necrotic power. She can unleash this power at will, causing living creatures to simply wilt before her. To hear her call or feel her touch is to succumb death and the lucky ones simply become enslaved to her will. The Banshee Queen hates all life and will stop at nothing to ensure the land to which she is bound is free of such disturbances.
