Why yes, my name is Takhisis, and yes, I have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.


Now, mortal..... hit me with your best shot. Muahahahahahahaha!

I dunno, her human expression is a bit lacking, is she bored?

It looks more condescending than bored to me. Which fits I think.

I don’t recall her even showing up in avatar form aside from a lesser smoke thing. I could be mis-remembering

I think she was trapped in Neraka or maybe even in the Abyss because of the emerald in the Everman's chest.

 

[dave2008]

Isn't she trapped in The Abyss, and the whole point of the war (aside from gaining power/land) is to get her out of The Abyss?

Is she now in the New Continuity already out of the Abyss? Which has huge ramifications for... never mind. It doesn't matter.

She looks like she is in the Abyss in the top image and the bottom appears to more an illusion or "mirage" at is a bunch of necks in the clouds - no body. This seems consistent enough with the original lore.

I love the dragon art, but I'm not a fan of impossibly unwieldy armor like that. Even in WoW I use older more practical pieces as my visuals, rather than the stuff that sticks out all over the place.

I wonder if she’ll have different stats?

I wasn't commenting on her armor and I generally agree with you. However, if there are entities that can pull it off - it is deities!

 

[DarkCrisis]

She appears to Kitiara in Dragons of Highlord Skies, to "persuade" her to bring Lord Soth to the cause. I just finished reading this book. I am rereading the Chronicles/Lost Chronicles.

Thats right! Ive read that once awhile back.

I don't think we will have stats for her unfortunately (IMO).

There's our favorite goth lil' sis.

Dragon mode needs more eyeliner though.
