Lady Belteshazzar

The mother of the Free City of Vadashar's ruler loves to acquire and use power. Manipulative, plotting, easily offended, and prone to holding lifetime grudges, she commands a secret cadre of aristocratic spies who are ready to do her bidding, and too terrified to fail her. And with a princely son who wishes she'd stay on her side of the castle—Lady Belteshazzar puts the "mother" in "smother."

Included is a brief history of the Free City of Vadashar, description and stat block for Lady Belteshazzar. There is also advice for incorporating Lady Belteshazzar into your campaign.

The Free City of Vadashar
The Free City of Vadashar will include a line of sourcebooks, adventure supplements, campaign guides, and extensive information about the unique setting of Vadashar, which was introduced in 1980 and combines a variety of fantasy elements: sword and sorcery evoking the worlds of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian, the shared universe of Thieves’ World, the carefree swashbuckling of Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, and the modern film science fiction horror of the Alien and Prometheus franchise.
