Duchess Davisa Imesha, Scion of Slumber
Duchess Davisa Imesha is the Scion of Slumber. She died in 3007 AS combating Ilaxxis the Scourge of the Obsidian Spire, an Elder Brain of a powerful Illithid colony deep within the Upside Down of Valonde. Davisa holds the distinction of being the only Scion who is honored by both followers of Seilach and Arhah. Her remains and shroud are holy relics to both faiths.
Davisa was born into a Valondish noble family and very early on showed a talent for divination. By her 25th year she was considered the Kingdom’s most gifted Seer, a woman gifted with a keen mind and kindness of heart, but she steadfastly refused to use her talents for war or battle against the Culled. The Queen loved the young woman as a daughter, and so tolerated her defiance.
One summer day just before her 30th birthday, Davisa came to her husband and told him that she had been told in a dream that she must journey to the city of Montaumiers located at the edges of the kingdom. With his blessing, she left with a small envoy and the protection of Queen's Guards. When they arrived, they found the whole city had fallen under a terrible curse - any who entered the walls of the city fell into a deep sleep and would not wake. Undeterred, she used her powers to shield her envoy from the curse and, once within the city, they battled Mind Flayers and their slaves who were harvesting the city’s population till none remained.
With the threat of the illithid destroyed within the city’s limits, but the people of the region still unwaking, she saw the only path to free those who were cursed. She entered the massive temple to Sielach in the center of town and cast a powerful spell allowing her to take into herself the curse of everyone in the city. She instantly fell into a never-ending sleep, but her mind was too powerful to be bound completely to the curse's slumber. Within the realm of dreams, she was able to communicate with those in the waking world and eventually her body was put to rest in a place of honor within the temple’s walls.
She spent the next ten years helping a task force of adventures travel deep into the Upside Down to destroy the remnants of the illithid threat. At the height of the final battle, Ilaxxis revealed itself. The terrible creature brought the full strength of its will against the adventurers while Davisa pitted her powerful mind against the Elder brain’s. In the chaos, she managed to momentarily contain the illithid brain's mind for several crucial seconds, allowing the heroes to destroy Illaxxis.
The battle was won, the colony destroyed, but the effort of combating such a creature was too much for Davisa’s body. As death began to claim the woman, Seilach and Arhah met the woman in the realm of dreams and spoke with her briefly. Davisa nodded and turned toward Arhah who embraced her and so she became the Scion of Slumber.
She shares the dream realms within the ethereal plane with Trolox and is said to be the only being who can calm the Scion of Dread. She never uses her divine powers to cause harm, but has been known to point Trolox towards those who crimes she feels are worthy of such horrors. Davisa is seen as a beautiful Aasimar woman in her mid-30s. She wears green silk robes that are covered in arcane runes of gold and black. Her head is surrounded by a halo of golden flame, her eyes an intense bright green color.
