Shasyahkar

Shasyahkar was a Naga Jakla who severed his link with the Akasha to escape from a twisted fellow, Ghedai. He was instrumental in the awaken of several Asp warriors and sacrificed himself to keep the safety of his sleep brethren.

== Ghedai ==
In 1159 Shasyahkar refused to share the knowledge of creating the Golder Pearl with Ghedai, who in turn magically attacked Shasyahkar. Shasyahkar fled and severed himself from the Akasha, breaking the link Ghedai could use to trace him again. Not sharing the naga mind gradually caused Shasyahkar to fade, diminish and would certainly end in his death. 
=== Akasha ===
Shasyahkar met Akasha and warned her about the dark intentions of Ghedai, and his lust for power. Akasha allowed Ghedai to teach her until she was prepared to face him. Shasyahkar secretely became her sensei and gave lessons about Pearl Magic.

== Death ==
In 1159 Creatures of Rokugan: Third Edition, p. 21 Ghedai had prepared a ritual that would a allow the performer to share his soul with the Akasha. Ghedai suggested Moto Chen to became the new general of a naga army, with awaken Asp warriors. As side effect the Junghar would be his pawn. The ritual began but instead the Unicorn was Shasyahkar who was the performer. He had been shapeshifted in Chen with a Pearl of Chameleon Skin, and his soul shared again the Akasha. They began a magic fight but Ghedai's power was greater. The last magic blow killed Shaskayar's soul, but the ritual binded both souls, and Ghedai died as well.
