Shakti Hunzrin

Shakti Hunzrin was a powerful Menzoberranyr traitor-priestess of Lolth and Vhaeraun. She hated Liriel Baenre, pursuing her across Faerun and trying to kill her several times, but she was not successful.

Description
Shakti was solid by drow standards, even plump, and had hard red eyes. She was nearsighted from birth, but in 1361 DR she was able to heal herself by the power of Lolth and Vhaeraun.

Personality
Shakti had no sense of humor.

Shakti's greatest passion was rothe farming -- she was in charge of House Hunzrin's rothe herds on the Isle of Rothe in Lake Donigarten. In fact, she didn't really want to be a priestess originally, but she appreciated the power it gave her.

History
While seeking revenge against her rival Liriel, Shakti approached Nisstyre, a known follower of Vhaeraun, and offered to become a "traitor priestess" serving both Lolth and Vhaeraun and offering her services to Nisstyre.

In 1361 DR, Shakti was ordained a high priestess, despite having not completed all her years at Arach-Tinilith.

By 1484 DR, Shakti had become matron mother of House Hunzrin, the Eleventh House. She was strongly allied with House Barrison Del'Armgo.

Possessions
Shakti's weapon of choice, like that of her family, was an enchanted pitchfork, although she later relied more on her snake-headed whip conferred upon her when she became a high priestess.

Allies
Shakti allied herself with many others in her pursuit of Liriel, including Matron Mother Triel Baenre, Gromph Baenre, Nisstyre and the Dragon's Hoard, the illithid Vestress of Ascarle, High Captain Rethnor of Luskan, and Gorlist.
