OpenForge Encounters: Lamashtu's Shrine

Added 2018-04-30 13:58:03 +0000 UTC

We've decided to start a series of alignment based shrines. The first one is to Lamashtu, Mother of Monsters, representing Chaotic Evil (We suspect the evil alignments will get more than just one of these). This release also sees the release of our first miniature, Lamashtu.

She's a signature villain in Pathfinder's Golarion, but she's such a great villain, and the number of demon princes is legion, so even if you are using 5e or another fantasy RPG, she'll fit right in.

Lamashtu is based on an ancient Mesopotamian demon. The historical mythological Lamashtu was a female demon, monster, malevolent goddess or demigoddess who menaced women during childbirth and, if possible, kidnapped their children while they were breastfeeding. She would gnaw on their bones and suck their blood, as well as being charged with a number of other evil deeds.

In Pathfinder, Lamashtu is an arch daemon who has achieved godhood, and she is known as "The Mother of Monsters". She is the mother and patroness of many misshapen and malformed creatures that crawl, slither, or flap on, above, or below the surface of the world.

In either case, she and her cult make a fantastic nemesis and big bad. This release includes the statue to Lamashtu (or miniature of her), some stone braziers, walls and floors with her holy symbol, and the feculant birthing pool. All the pieces are published in Cut-Stone, Rough Stone and Dungeon Stone.
