Sembuel
Planar throne archon [she/her] / LG
Here’s the chant about Sembuel, a throne archon whose tale is a mix of mystery and adversity. She’s a figure of celestial authority, currently ruling over Dolorous Sojourn, which is itself a place shrouded in secrets, sorrow and shadows. But there’s more to her story than meets the eye. They say she’s been through trauma, something that sent her over the edge and to the city in the first place. But they also say she ain’t staying there for good, for she’s destined to return to her duties in Mertion sooner or later.
Rumours swirl like dust motes in the wind, and one of ’em speaks of a dark encounter. It’s said that Sembuel was captured and tortured by yugoloths at Khin-Oin, a name that sends shivers down the spine of even the bravest celestial. The details are shrouded in the fog of war, but whatever transpired there left its shadow on her. Years ago, Sembuel was renowned for her fearlessness and strong stomach, so anything which could have rattled her must have been grievous indeed.
Sembuel is a throne who carries her celestial authority with grace and dignity. Her presence is a blend of strength and vulnerability, a reflection of the challenges she’s faced and her determination to turn tragedy into motivation. Dolorous Sojourn might be her current domain, but it’s clear that her heart and her destiny lie elsewhere, back in the higher realm of Mertion. She’s a living reminder that even celestial beings can be shaped by the trials they face.
