Tabletop Lore

A lionfolk who was purchased as a slave by a Sudd Tohsti scholar, Za’kar was one of the few of his kin that could read and write, and was thus used as a scribe and translator, until his freedom was brought about with the untimely end of his master. Chance would then bring Za’kar to the University of Canos after, as the institution desperately sought students after Dragonblight tore through its ranks. He is the only one of his kind to ever attend there, and may be the only one for decades, if not centuries more.

Summary: Command forgotten history with this premium, dynamically posed beastfolk wizard Artifact. Balancing raw leonine presence with volatile, wrapping scroll energy, Za’kar is the definitive centerpiece for high-stakes magical duels and dark fantasy institutional horrors.
