Elder Order Shade Horde, Devious, Organized Honed crystalline claws (b[2d4+1] damage 1 piercing) 11 HP 2 armor Close, Forceful Those poor souls who, willingly or not, were left in the chamber with Al-Sherbhal when the seal was placed upon the inner sanctum of the temple. Some were likely already corrupted then; others were almost surely there knowing that their eternal sacrifice would save the world from the law-madness of the "Lord of Chaos." So thoroughly law-choked, they must crack their own crystals to move, making an eerily pretty sound were it not for the menace in their unmoving, faceted eyes. Beware their claws--Al-Sherbhal's "law" knows no mercy and no forgiveness for the "sin" of mortal choice, of freedom, of joy outside the strictures of the Divine Plan. Instinct: Destroy disobedience

Body of the Song Solitary, Huge, Magical, Devious, Planar, Terrifying, Amorphous Thorn vines that smash and grab (d10+5 damage 2 piercing) 31 HP 5 armor Reach, Forceful Special Qualities: Its form is a mockery of humanoids, woven from writhing, thorned vines The Body of the Song is the physical anchor of the Song of Thorns. It is not, properly speaking, a "body" at all, instead being the densest and oldest cluster of thorn-vines present in Zerzura--it may even be the original plant host for the Song. However, just because it is not a body proper does not mean it is unimportant; though powerful and well-defended, it is still a potential weakness, as it is in some sense the only "totem" of the Song. Few could approach the Body without being infected and subverted, becoming food and tools for the Song, but if anyone could do so, the Song will strive to destroy them with extreme prejudice. The Body lairs in what appears to be the very heart of the City proper, with enormous vines ten feet across rising from or buried into the ground, between the shattered remnants of arches and scattered cobblestones. Servants of the Song rarely go here, but anyone whose mind has been assaulted by the Song has seen this place in the mind-battles it fights. Instinct: Absorb powerful minds, crush opposition.
