Sithal Al-Husn was a princess of Pazar, kidnapped on her wedding night by Habrauk Al-Nirin, who froze her in time to preserve her beauty.[1] The archmage Martek used her crypt as a test for adventurers seeking his crystal minaret.[2]
Appearance[]
Inside the cylinder where she was imprisoned, Sithal Al-Husn was always kneeling with her face turned upwards, with a tear running halfway down her cheek. Her oval face was lovely, with large dark almond eyes and a long, slender neck. Her silken hair swept down to the waist of her wedding veils. She wore a delicate necklace of gems.[3] Her voice was like the rustle of an evening breeze.[4]
Possessions[]
Her necklace was worth 3,000 gp. She carried a liahona with herself.[4]
Powers[]
Being frozen in time, Sithal Al-Husn couldn't physically do much of anything,[4] but every night, her spirit begged any adventurer in the Desert of Al-Alisk who wasn't evilly aligned to release her.[3]
History[]
The princess was kidnapped by Habrauk Al-Nirin of the Al-Alisk clan on the day of her wedding to Athis Al-Din in the city of Akhir. He decided to keep her beauty forever by freezing her in a magical box within the most secret place in the crypt. Her spirit remained there in 1356 DR, though she died thousands of years before.[1]
Sithal Al-Husn was released in 1356 DR by adventurers seeking the crystal minaret of Martek that had been placed with her; she bequeathed all her worldly possesions to them, and joined her beloved in Heaven Westward.[2]
