Lore
Slithice, the Naga SirenAmong the high-sworn of the Slithereen Guard there is a solemn vow oft repeated before battle: No Slithereen may fail. In truth, these words are equal parts oath and enforceable covenant, for those who fall short of their duty are banished from the order. To fail is to be other than Slithereen.
Once most highly esteemed of her race, Slithice for many years commanded a battalion of her fellows, using her formidable voice as her greatest weapon. Powerful, sinuous, serpentine, she led her deadly Guard in defense of the Deep Ones, and the great wealth of the sunken cities. But in the final battle of Crey, her forces were driven back by a marauding army of levianths intent on finding tribute for their god Maelrawn. After the long and bloody onslaught, as the bodies were cleared from the sunken halls, a single jeweled chalice was found missing from the trove. Of her hundred Guard, only a handful survived, but their bravery and sacrifice were of little consequence. What mattered was that treasure was taken. Honor destroyed. And so Naga Siren was cast out. Banished to search for the stolen chalice. Though she might add a hundred times her weight to the golden trove, she is doomed to live apart until that day she returns that which was taken. For no amount of gold is equal in honor to the honor she lost.

- Slithice and Rhasta are old friends.[1]
- After the battle at Crey, Slithice was stripped of her rank and station, banished, and forced to cover her headfins if she ever makes contact with her own people.[2] However, she received a set of obsidian armor from the grateful citizens of Crey[3], and obtained a set of blades looted from the corpse of a dead Levianth.[4]
- Like Slardar, Slithice served to protect the Deep Ones and their treasures, and is likely aware of the Deep Vault and its guardians.
Battle of Stonefish Gate[]
In her first cycle as a member of the Slithereen Guard, Slithice was deployed to aid the Conclave of the Brine at the Battle of Stonefish Gate. For her exemplary actions and valor in combat, she was initiated into the Order of Cyprin, although she resisted this honor at first. Her membership in this prestigious and ancient order paved the way for her rise to preeminence.[5]
