Xarinath, Daughter of Irinax – The Blind Ascendant

Xarinath, Daughter of Irinax – The Blind Ascendant

Female Monstrosity (Cleric, Warlock)

Fusing the draped vestments of a blindfolded devotee with the jagged, chitinous limbs of a predatory horror, this Artifact brings chilling authority to the battlefield. Her upright humanoid torso gestures in silent benediction while needle-sharp arachnid legs cage a floor littered with bones and crystalline outcroppings. For Keepers introducing an unholy cult matriarch, subterranean patron, or vindictive ritual boss, she provides an instantly striking centerpiece.

Tabletop Lore

Once a destitute orphan among the stone corridors of Iriksha, Xarinath endured the mockery and contempt of those who walked above her in rank. Her fate shifted forever through the agony of sacred metamorphosis, reborn as an exalted Daughter of Irinax. Now worshipped by the very souls who once spat at her feet, she remembers every face from her former life—and quietly ensures they are the first offered when Irinax demands flesh and blood.

Highlight

The stark juxtaposition of serene, draped priestly vestments against a ring of vicious, spine-ridged spider limbs creates an imposing and unforgettable tactical profile.
