Queen Medusa (a.k.a. The Librarian)
Mental characteristics
Personal history
The original Medusa on Gaion. Once a beautiful Sun Elf woman living under Dahli's divine rule in Dalterra, she was a devout worshipper of the goddess. However, during the prelude to the Divine War, Medusa was tricked and seduced by Hytheron, which was seen as the ultimate disgrace by Dahli. As punishment, she was cursed by the goddess to live an immortal lifetime as a Gorgon, turning anyone who gazed into her eyes to stone, giving her snakes for hair, and an overall monstrous appearance. Medusa eventually used her curse to take control of a medium-sized swath of the Sanhi Desert, creating her own city-state and declaring herself queen. She ruled unopposed and created several Medusas as her devout female followers, until a Dalterran hero slashed her eyes with a magically poisoned sword during the Solternian Genocide, permanently destroying them and blinding her while limiting her petrification powers. As such, she lost control of her kingdom and was forced to flee the continent.
Some time later, she made her way to the draconic continent of Vulsemar, where she spent time learning magicks from the Yuan-Ti. She eventually adopted the form of an eye-less Yuan-Ti Abomination with a semi-humanoid upper body, and also learned how to use her petrification powers without her eyes. With these capabilities, she conquered a draconic library in the Central Eastern region of the continent, turning any occupants or invaders into stone. Using extrasensory magicks to read the vast collection of books and knowledge, she hoards the library's resources for herself and petrifies anyone who enters.
