Sakinnirot, or the Scar that Abides, is an Overlord from the Age of Demons with dominion over spite and patient rage, who once laid claim to all of Xen'drik.[1]
Description[]
Sakinnirot is virtually unknown outside of the rakshasa of the Lords of Dust, and counts few devotees even among that number.[1]
Sakinnirot's favored appearance is unknown.[1] As with all Overlords, Sakinnirot has no true fixed form, and can assume any shape and size of its choosing.[2]
Personality[]
It considers the Rage of War to be its main foe, and thinks him brutal and impatient.[1]
It appears to bear a special grudge against the dragonmarked houses in Stormreach.[1]
Abilities[]
Sakinnirot counts Destruction, Meditation, and Passion among its domains, and has powers related to these areas.[1] It encourages seething resentment among organizations such as the dragonmarked houses in Stormreach.[1]
Though Sakinnirot is truly bound by the power of the Silver Flame and only dimly conscious of the world, it can still observe standing ruins from the Age of Demons, its chosen servants among the rakshasa, and any location where its name or title is spoken for a short time.[1]
History[]
Age of Demons[]
Sakinnirot, the Scar that Abides is one of the Overlords who ruled over all of Eberron during the Age of Demons. Sakinnirot was bound by the dragons and couatl after they jointly discovered the Draconic Prophecy, and the couatls sacrificed themselves to form the Silver Flame.[1][2]
Age of Giants[]
Sakinnirot first stirred from its torpor once the ancient giants uncovered the ruins of its citadel and settled upon it. It influenced the civilization that followed to the heights of advancement, before allowing it to crumble to dust and await the next group to settle in its domain.[1] Sakinnirot appears to be closely tied to the repeated collapses of various civilizations that settle the city now known as Stormreach.[1]
Relationships[]
The ak'chazar rakshasa necromancer Lorishto is attempting to form a connection with his patron, and allow it to manifest in the Material Plane once again.[1]
Worshipers[]
Sakinnirot maintains a following of mad Cultists of the Dragon Below in Stormreach, who encourage grudges and feuds that erupt into violence.[1]
Rumors & Legends[]
Its followers among the Cults of the Dragon Below claim it was the last of the Overlords to be born, as it is a manifestation of Khyber's patient rage.[1]
Cults of the Dragon Below devoted to its service teach that Sakinnirot will ruin anyone who mentions its true name, and can only bear to be called by its title after the Children of Eberron are laid low forever.[1]
