Zarchelia
Zarchelia
An Erinyes devil—a figure of terrible grace clad in flawless obsidian armor. She was accidentally summoned by the Cult of the Dragon in a failed ritual at the Hill of Lost Souls.
Background
Zarchelia is a powerful devil high in the infernal hierarchy. She was summoned by a Dragon Soul cultist who inscribed runes in a summoning circle, but the cultist made a critical error and lost control of the summoning. Upon arrival, Zarchelia broke the circle and slew the Dragon Soul who summoned her.
Role in Campaign
During her brief encounter with the party, she recognized Shade and spoke cryptic words about her lineage: 'You are the one known as Shade, are you not? Curious that you would be here as well. Know this, while you were born into a world that mistook you for a mistake, your lineage is no accident.' When Alexios attempted to command her with divine authority, she trivially ignored his efforts. She then flew north to answer the call of her master.
