- The harbinger of death.
The Banshee is an extraordinarily rare manifestation that is discussed only in hushed whispers by those who have braved the terrifying depths of the Underdark.
The apparition takes the form of a slender woman with a blindingly white dress that fades to mist just below her waist. Her long hair flows above her head in waves as if she’s submerged in water and her complexion is a sickly green with open sores giving way to exposed tissue. Most disturbing is her slack jaw that hangs down to her chest in a permanent and exaggerated state of shock while her cheeks stretch like clay from the weight.
The legends claim that the forsaken spirit roams the cramped and murky tunnels outside of Trist’oth near a documented deep dragon den where she attempts to warn passing travelers of the dangers ahead.
Though her intentions are pure, the banshee emits a piercing scream that is powerful enough to peel skin from bone, exposing a deep sense of irony in the fact that her attempted warnings of death are instead what brings it about.
Some powerful wizards and warriors claim to have slain the banshee and reaped great rewards for their effort, but most regard them as braggarts with a knack for embellishment. Many locals dismiss the idea of the Banshee as mere myth while others tend to turn as pale as her dress when asked of their experience.
This leaves those who ponder the true existence of the ethereal maiden with only a single option; to search for themselves.
