Bakrimanthys

The disembodied spirit of a REDACTED dragon, Bakrimanthys has become much more, and much less than she once was. As REDACTED dragons are wont to do, she sought new knowledge and so manipulated mortals to do dangerous, even deadly things in order to push the boundary of the known. Her particular fascination was dreams REDACTED

The Yuan-ti were the perfect targets. An unspoilt "primitive" culture on a desolate island hardly known to other mortals and disregarded by REDACTED  The Yuan-ti were swiftly conquered, their more violent customs curtailed REDACTED

REDACTED  In time, her attention turned wholly to her work and she became reclusive, leaving her petty kingdom to be governed by the priests who served her. They came to incorporate her rulership and strange commands into their preexisting culture, treating her as a high priestess, worthy of respect, obedience, and veneration. However, her cultural edicts were less resilient and the yuan-ti returned to their acts of sacrifice. REDACTED

REDACTED

It has been centuries since she undertook this journey and fell asleep before the Window of Worlds within the Great Pyramid. She left her body behind, but her mind and soul entered into the portal REDACTED   Only the discarded pieces of her mortal form remain. These act as foci that can make contacting her across the infinite planes possible at all.

In the wake of her absence the Yuan-Ti have come to worship her as an exarch and kin to their own slumbering gods. They believe her dreaming voyages let her act as an intermediary between them and their sleeping gods and if they can bring her to dream of certain things, she will in turn move Sseth and Mershaulk. REDACTED

Clues
Called She Who Dreams Beneath by a group of pirate cultists, little is known of Bakrimanthys. The players have discovered the following clues in their battle with her followers:
 * Her name, which was found on a crumbling stone altar half immersed in the sea
 * Her followers seem to develop scaled hides and wield some measure of divine power
 * Certain followers display extreme versions of this transformation, resulting in scaly monsters
 * References to her have been written in draconic and the speech of one of the altered cultists was also in draconic
 * The leading cultist possessed a strange, off-white sword hilt carved in draconic runes. Trindak has since attached the hilt to his weapon.
