Adella of the Thousand Mouths
Adella of the Thousand Mouths, also called "King" Adella, is the current ruler or "king" of the Norscan settlement of Skeggi located on the continent of Lustria. She is a worshipper of Tzeentch, the Chaos God of change and intrigue, who has "blessed" her with thousands of half-inch holes which pepper her flesh and whisper new plans and murmur support whenever she speaks before a crowd. Adella has a cruel streak and likes to kill people slowly and publicly to make clear examples of those who get in her way.[1a]
History[]
Eight feet tall and more than capable in combat, Adella knows it is not strength alone which allows her to retain her kingship over Skeggi -- she has deviously told lies to the vakts and merchant factions of the town about one another, dividing their focus enough so that they cannot challenge "King" Adella or her edicts. [1a]
This stability-through-disunity has managed to keep Adella in power for now but runs the risk of finally dooming the long-standing Norscan colony entirely if the inhabitants cannot unify in its defence when the time comes. The Jarlvakt remain more or less loyal, although her advisors must now avoid dangerous pitfalls and traps as they travel up the King's Hill every morning to convene, as the king has recently decided to test their mettle. As such, Adella is more alone as the days pass, but her mutation keeps her company.[1a]
Wargear[]
- Sword of Warping - Aside from her spear, Adella wields a magic sword which ignores both armour and the protective scaly skin of the Lizardmen when it strikes.[1a]
- Assorted Armour - Adella owns various suits of armour, including at least one shield.[1a]
