With a mask showing her devotion to the Serpent, this cornugon has served Geryon in the Vault of Oaths for millenia untold. The most recent heresy that she has penned caused a violent break between the churches of Iomedae and Abadar in the Sargavan coast. Ensconced in the Vault of Oaths, Above Suspense is safe from all but the most powerful adventurers. However, she likes to spread the heresies that she guards for the Source of Lies, both by penning new ones and spreading ones that had died out centuries ago. She, in disguise and through proxies, has sent a group of righteous adventurers to further her own goals.
