Kishina Darrowind

Kishina is an ancient and powerful figure who has appeared throughout millennia as a conqueror, assassin, leader, and warlord. According to the warrior Gotrek Gurnisson, she was thought to have been killed a century ago. Her ultimate goal is to achieve godhood, and she believes something within the besieged city of Praag is essential for her ascension. She is a master manipulator who orchestrates the Chaos wars and uses pawns to further her schemes. Her long life suggests she may be an exceptionally powerful being like a lich, fiend, or vampire.

The party first encountered the name Kishina after capturing a half-elf woman named Kishina Darrowind in the catacombs beneath Praag. However, this was a deception. Shortly after being taken to the stockades, the prisoner died and her body transformed into that of an old man. When questioned with magic, the old man's spirit revealed he had been controlled by the real "Lady Kishina" for a year before his soul was destroyed, and that he had never actually been to Praag. This incident revealed Kishina's ability to control others from a distance.

The most shocking revelation came after a major battle at Praag's western gate. The party's newest companion, a deep gnome named Calanthia Stonetrodden, stayed behind as the others retreated. She then transformed, revealing her true form as Kishina. She mocked the group, stating, "It has been wonderful observing you this past week. I hope the absence of your friend will not hamper your progress too much. Taking a body is always SO tedious," before escaping. This confirmed that Kishina had infiltrated the party, observing their actions directly while posing as their ally.
