Hssthak

Hssthak was a sarrukh mummy and believed himself to be the last survivor of the empire of Isstosseffifil.

Activities
He waited patiently in the Crypt of Hssthak for the day when he would be called upon to teach magic to lesser serpentfolk. In his crypt he kept two of the Skins of the Golden Serpent, aka the Nether Scrolls.

History
In -6000 DR, elves from Evereska discovered the crypt but judged its contents too dangerous for the world to know. Thus, a half-dozen elves volunteered to be made into mummies so to guard the crypt for eternity. Afterward, the door was resealed and the tomb reburied with elven magic. The Netherese never discovered Hssthak due to it being beneath unremarkable flatlands.

In 1372 DR, a deep sinkhole occurred near an oasis by the eastern end of the Sea of Moving Ice, revealing the entrance to the tomb. Soon after, lizard folk and an adventuring party delved into the new find.
