Lamystra¶
Lamystra is a lamia, the hidden head of the White Hand, the gang of the Warrens that fronts for the servants of the Elder God Teneb'Urat (S028, S061, S068).1 In public she is a priestess of the Sun (S068). She answers to Saeviul, High Priest of the Tenebrians (S068).
Head of the White Hand¶
The White Hand is "a Warrens gang, ultimately led by a Lamia (Lamystra), trying to assert more control over the Warrens and Spillwater area. Their Warrens lair spills into the Underdark where more powerful minions of Teneb'Urat are gathering: Gorgons, Quetztls, Naga and other Serpentfolk" (S028). Under her the Hand works with the warlock Valtor of the Circle of Eternity while planning "to betray them to release Teneb'Urat" (S061), and has infiltrated both rival gangs to set them against each other (S061). She knew where the turncoat Dunstan was hiding, and had Valtor try to lure enemies of the Hand into an ambush by the Crimson Watch (S038).
Priestess of the Sun¶
The cast list describes her as "Head of the White Hand (a Lamia) … also a priestess of the Sun" (S068). The Hand's people dress the part: a Sun Priest seen in their headquarters wore "red robes with a yellow sunburst … one of the Kalari sects" (S065, S038). When the Hand's plans in the Warrens fell apart, the "Priestess of the Sun will make a 'pilgrimage' to the Shrine of Anariel (located south of the city) .. she didn't actually go" (S039).
Gap
The sources never describe Lamystra herself, give her history, or record what became of her after the White Hand went into hiding. That the Priestess of the Sun of S039 is Lamystra is inferred from S068's description.
Saeviul¶
Saeviul, pronounced "SAY-VEE-OOL", is the "High Priest of the Tenebrians. Located in their city. Boss over Lamystra" (S068). The Tenebrians' city lies "across the lake and further into the underdark" beyond the Lost Mines below the Warrens (S065). Nothing more is said of him.
