Petrifying Succubus - Vehryn

Presupported in 32mm and 75mm scale

[Statblock included in our 5E Campaign: Sunless Strassen]

An ancient Succubus turned to stone eons ago by a powerful Goliath Breathwielder during the first era. Her and ill nature forgotten, she was used as a statue moving through civilizations, merchants and nobles over millennia. Finally she found a resting place in the halls of Gehr Keep in Strassen, where she remained for centuries, constantly watching all that surrounded her but unable to do more than see. Finally in a time when the moon was veiled by the sun, Vehryn’s stony skin became animated, and she could move, speak and use her fiendish powers once more.

In the Age of Creation Vehryn was a Succubus sent by Mindoriel to the leaders of the Goliath Kingdoms to corrupt their hearts and send their kingdoms awry. Many generals, advisors and other leaders succumbed to her, having their will bent and twisted. Those that resisted her would instead meet the fate of death, for their use was little compared to those so easily turned. These turned leaders would crumble the pillars of strength that upheld the Goliath Culture and War.

This did not halt nor was even noted by Goliaths until Vehryn’s reign ended. When she attempted to corrupt a powerful Goliath Breathwielder who would later be one of those to turn the tide of the war on the front lines. The Breathwielder saw her putrid form beneath the fair visage she created, and before a word could be uttered from her mouth he unveiled her true from and turned her to stone. In his study he kept her, aiming to learn from her or harness her, though when he was killed in battle and did not return, her purpose was lost and she was thought instead to be a statue of fertility or lust by those who cleared the estate.

Through generations of Goliaths she passed until Goliath kingdoms crumbled, snatched up by a do-gooder prince and passed through his generations of families until the line ended. Again she passed into the possession of a wealthy merchant and his family, though quickly was discarded after only a generation when she was sold to a Duke to pay off the merchant’s debts. Ever was Vehryn watchful, and she took note that the Duke appeared to be the descendant of Almenhier, a spawn of Myrothlir from millennia past.

When Glanion was eclipsed by Glanbeli, Vehryn’s movement returned to her. With the Sun’s sight marred by the moon, Mindoriel was able to restore her movement beyond Glanion’s vigilance. Several other creatures and demons like her came to life within the castle, and in its catacombs. Uniting them under a cause to eliminate the rogue vampire lords, seeing her own vengeance on her latest owner and a town for her to live in peacefully with the vampires gone.
