Aboleth (Abby)

## Aboleth

Strong is not law of land. Predator hunt prey to feedeth their pups and survive winter, weak easier target, but that not strength- that smart'st.

## Description

Aboleth is a red kobold, whose color has dulled in her advancing age. Her teeth have yellowed and it is not entirely clear if her eyes are as strong as she might make some believe. She is often hunched over slightly unless there is something that calls for her to jump into action, in which case she is very obviously still quite nimble and capable. As such it is unclear whether she is actually suffering from the problems that comes with aging, and can only rely on small bursts of energy or if the elderly persona she maintains is part of some larger obfuscation.

As far as personality is concerned, Aboleth seems to be an incredibly lighthearted and sprightly woman. Preferring the nickname Abby as opposed to Aboleth, she often engages in belittling nicknames to young peoples, all of which at least usually also have a level of affection to them regardless of relationship. Though she claims to have had a very bad temper when she was younger, she rarely has it flare up any more. Clearly preferring to make passive aggressive comments about subjects that have upset her afterwards than act purposefully aggressive or violent in the moment. She has been shown to have a level of patience with most things and people, but is also easily excitable when people play along with her antics. She openly mocks, chides, lectures and otherwise makes light of other people's beliefs or philosophies if she finds them too abstract, one such concept she has shown disdain for was the concept of 'justice' as she has not seen this as a 'real' thing that deserved any mind paid attention to it.

She has a deep respect for natural things, but doesn't seem to actively worship them. She is assumed to be a druid of some form or power, but she actively refuses to accept the title from other people. She does not get actively angry about the destruction or disrespect of nature. Presumably out of an understanding that greed and destruction is also in the nature of many people, and as such it is not worth getting angry over so long as she can keep doing her work after.

## History

Aboleth seems not to be native to Septabas, but has some knowledge--and possibly a vendetta--of the Council of Seven. Often making passive aggressive remarks about the seven familie's lifestyles, disconnection from the natural world, seems to have an interest in passively allowing atoll refugees to cause trouble for the seven families and a more active interest in perhaps planting seeds or making suggestions that maybe the adventurers should take some interest in the families.

Her history for the most part save for recently, where she stopped a deep spread of a forest fire caused by an adventurer named Toru, is unknown. Supposedly she had a very bad temper when she was younger and has had plenty of opportunities since then to work out her "vengeful blood-thirst".

Aboleth also seems to have experience and knowledge regarding the deep jungles surrounding Septabas.

### The Rise of Ziggurat

During the Week of Stirred Moon the corrupted cursed energies brought back to un-death Aboleth's beloved deceased friend Ziggurat, a tyrannosaurus-rex from a land far to the south of Septabas. As the events of the week had just started to unfold the undead beast invaded and started reeking havoc among a portal-folk druids grove, named Azure. Azure attempted to stand her ground and protect her Grove but Aboleth intervened and ultimately saved her life by distracting the beast with an assortment of her most powerful potions and allowing Azure to escape.

According to Aboleth she played a game of cat and mouse, hunted by the undead animal companion for several weeks following until she relented and used something called the Master Brew to just barely survive and escape a hopeless altercation. The brew took its toll on her already weary body, and when she finally walked back into Septabas she was nearing death, she posted a notice that simply stated ZIGGURAT LIVES and collapsed in the Battered Boar tavern.

Through the actions of several adventurers, Aboleths death was staved off until a single dose of a powerful druidic curative known as ALL CLEAR could be brewed to counteract the effects of the Master Brew. Though she has yet to make a full recovery, the kobold survives to tell the tale but Ziggurat still walks the jungles outside of Septabas.

### White-Fang Bright-Fang Terror of the Night-Fang

During the time when Aboleth was bed ridden during The Rise of Ziggurat, the kobold was approached by the dragonborn Vaero Cinderbloom who sought to respect the kobolds regrets should her death be closer than anyone hoped. Regarding the dragonborn as 'cousin' Aboleth let loose her great shame of leaving the brother of her companion Ziggurat continue is reign of terror in the land of ancient beasts to the south.

Though before Vaero could hear more of this regret, Aboleth passed out from exhaustion.
