[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 4201613, member: 2039"] [b]Jagadamba, Sahasran fortune-teller and wise woman[/b] [B]Jagadamba[/B] is renowned throughout Flotsam and beyond as an excellent fortune teller, reading palms (the art of [I]samudrika sastra[/I]), an apothecary and, some say, a witch. It has become something of a fashion statement amongst the Batiaran elite to be associated with Jagadamba and many women travel in disguise across the Dolphin Strait in a boat and into Flotsam to consult with her on her houseboat. Despite its decrepit appearance, Jagadamba’s boat somehow survives out in the exposed part of the Strait. Inside, it’s cosily furnished with many Sahasran hangings, some old but nicely patterned Akhrani rugs and carved wooden statues of the Vedic gods. Joss sticks burn, filling the room with a thick smell of incense. Shelves line one wall filled with bottles of potions for sale and jars of bizarre ingredients such as basilisk’s tears. As well as reading palms and selling magical potions and elixirs, Jagadamba identifies strange magical items for her clients. Jagadamba is a very old Sahasran woman, tiny and stooped, with a very wrinkly face and with thinning, mad white hair. She wears plain black robes and a lot of gold jewellery, including some decorated with snake or skull motifs (both symbols of Kali, her patron goddess). She keeps her cobra familiar in a basket, out of sight of her customers. [I]Secret:[/I] Jagadamba is an important member of the Cult of the Black Mother and can call upon thuggee killers to defend her from would-be attackers or other enemies. Ciceria (mother of Thecia, the Basileus’ wife) was initiated into the Cult of the Black Mother by Jagadamba. Until I get the 4e rules, I don't know what character class Jagadamba will be. In 3.x, she's a sorcerer (as I think this fits better than wizard) or maybe an OA shaman. She might even be a disguised hag rather than a human. Any comments welcome! Cheers Richard [/QUOTE]
