 +**Sheshka, the Queen of Stone** is the hereditary leader of the [[:meduses]] of [[:cazhaak_draal]], and by extension one of the most prominent warlords of [[:droaam]]. Her title is not merely an affection by one who rules over a relatively small area, but also reflects her connection with stone and her powers of petrification. So strong is her gaze that no spell may undo its effects, save for Sheska's own kiss.

 +<blockquote>
 +I am a queen in my own right, Lord Beren, and I held the granite throne centuries before the Daughters came to us. Droaam is stronger today than it was at the start of your La Dernière Guerre. But I am the Queen of Stone, and I will choose the path of my people.

 +Aside from her potent powers as a Méduse, she is a skilled hunter and a cunning strategist. She enjoys training basilisks and cockatrices, and has several of such domesticated creatures at her disposal. Besides her often individually-minded Méduse subject, she also commands a contingent of [[:pacte_de_znir]] gnolls, who guard the outlying approaches to her city. The Méduse [[npc:carash]] is her ambassador at the court of the [[:grand_rocher]].
 +
 +Unlike some of the other warlords of [[:droaam]], Sheshka shows true concern for her people. She is not known to be cruel, and while she respects what the [[:filles_de_sora_kell]] are trying to do, she has not yet thrown her lot in with them completely, waiting to see if doing so would truly serve her people's best interests.

 +The Queen of Stone: The medusa Sheshka leads the community of medusas located at the heart of the ancient goblin city of Cazhaak Draal. Sheshka has battle-trained basilisks and cockatrices at her command, as well as a small contingent of medusas and a gnoll honor guard protecting the outlying approaches to the city. While she has relatively few subjects (and those are rather independent-minded), their powers of petrification make them a force to be reckoned with. The
 +Queen of Stone respects the hags as a unifying force; a medusa named Carash serves as her ambassador in the court of the Great Crag. However, Sheshka is proud and clever. Now that a governing structure is in place, she plots her own bid for power.
