Akbire Sh'val

"Not like this... NOT LIKE THIS!" - Akbire Sh'val opposes Acerak's curse of tribute in Tyr.

At a Glance


A Shadar-Kai necromancer from Tyr, Akbire Sh'val was a student of Vecna and, paradoxically, one of his fiercest mortal opponents. Seeking to use her mastery of undeath to protect her city from the dark god, Akbire took up arms against Vecna directly after Acerak Zarunkumar assaulted Tyr with his curse of tribute.

Tracing Acerak's energies to a hidden tomb of Vecna, Akbire attempted to entrap the God of Undeath in the body of a goat (of which she would then sacrifice). As powerful as she was, Akbire became overwhelmed by Vecna's influence and was transformed into an undead horror as her soul was cast out from her body and destroyed.

Left as a shambling skeletal form, Akbire's undead body wandered the hidden catacomb for an eternity.
