Khyra

Khyra, also known as the Queen of the Skies or Jatayu, is a powerful being that resides in the other world.
== History ==
Khyra is ancient and powerful, possibly sharing origins and traits with beings such as the Lord of the Wastes. Balthamos claims she was appointed by Tanta to serve the gods as a guardian of arcane secrets. Khyra became consumed by resentment and spite towards Prometheus after he released an imprisoned genie in order to gain access to arcane magic. She abducted Prometheus, resolving to torture him for eternity as vengeance for what she considered the theft of her power. She may also have been involved with the destruction of Shadak, as there was conflict between her and the Charnish. She was once worshipped by sand elves, but worship of her has declined since the Charnish and later the Thranish began worshipping Prometheus.
== Description ==
Khyra takes the form of a great grey bird with a razor sharp beak and claws. She has extraordinary control of time. Despite this, she seems small-minded and malicious.
== In the Campaign ==
Vantis and Lannus climbed to a mountain peak to reach Khyra, asking her to grant them a jewel Owego believed would make the Spear of Shadak more powerful. She refused, and drove them away. They later returned with Rexxar after visiting Providence, and after using the voice of the gods to command Khyra to submit took the jewel and released Prometheus.
