Sabina

**Sabina** is the Queen of the Bees and rules from Bumbler Town in the Moon Cliffs.

## History

### The Old Times

In the Old Times, she was a cruel and maliceful ruler; a creature who lived in anger, fever, and hunger. Over time she had become reasonable and benevolent. In the years before Morganthe's Conquest, she led the Bees and had good trade relations with the Burrowers of Bastion. When Morganthe conquered Khrysalis, Sabina was cursed to become her old self with an evil and twisted form reflecting on who she was before. She would then be known as The Brood Mother.

### The Brood Mother

#### The Wizard Arrives

The Brood Mother was an evil entity that assumed the identity as Queen of the Bees. Under this guise, she become hateful and spiteful. In the wake of her madness, she gravely injured Dyvim WhiteHart by injecting him with her venom.

#### Battle of the Bees

When the Burrowers knocked down the Honeycomb Wall that divided the Moon Cliffs and the Last Wood, the Burrowers took the initiative to storm Bumbler Town. The Wizard was forced to duel and defeat the Brood Mother. After The Wizard was successful, the Brood Mother's shadow passed and she remembered who she had become before Morganthe's curse. She explained that the curse could be lifted if The Wizard restored her true image using the Moon's Crown. She believed that Zaltanna The MirrorMask knew how to find it. She begged The Wizard to hurry before her old self returned.

### The Return of Sabina

When The Wizard returned with the Moon's Crown, she revealed that she is in a fight against the thoughts of the Brood Mother. They went into her throne room where she briefly returned to her true form, until Morganthe appeared in astral form. Morganthe ridiculed The Wizard for wanting to save The Bees when The Wizard can't save themselves. Morganthe used a fraction of the Song of Creation to return the Brood Mother back to her heinous form and restore her brutish personality. Morganthe admired the personality of the Brood Mother as a survivor unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. Morganthe disappeard to allow the Brood Mother to attack The Wizard.

After her second defeat, her mind reverted back to her own again. They left the Throne Room and The Wizard used the Moon's Crown to again transform her back into her true form. Now completely herself, she said that the Yellow Jackets are still in the Shadow Queen's thrall and that they must save them. She wanted The Wizard to restore the Moon's Crown and wrest control of the Eclipse Tower. By gaining control of the Eclipse Tower, The Wizard could unravel the spell keeping the Burrowers in crystal and revert Morganthe's control over Sabina's people. She directed The Wizard to Gluttonous Blatta in the Golden Vault, who she suspected had the Moon's Tear. She rejoiced when The Wizard returned with the Moon's Crown fully fixed.

### Liberation of Khrysalis

#### The Eclipse Tower

Sabina implored The Wizard to use the Moon's Crown to free the Eclipse Tower. She instructed The Wizard to go to the edge of Celestial Lake and speak to the Guardians of the Eclipse Tower, citing their desire to shed the chains of the Shadow Queen.
