Shadowtongue

Shadowtongue was a primary villian of the early campaign hatching what would ultimately be known as the GhoulPowder Plot. She has had three names in succession: Andriel De’L’Orange, Selina Silvertongue, and then Shadowtongue. ShadowTongue was first discovered by the party as the name of a GhoulLord that can transform humans into more advanced types of ghouls. As long as she regularly eats human flesh, she is capable of passing as human. Originally, her plans seemed obscure and unlikely -- some plan against the undead lords of Aug Autal. The party's first communing with the Broken Goddess suggested that she is being manipulated by another for their own nefarious ends.

Recent developments have shown that she is the estranged and thought long dead older sister of Mae D’L’Orange. She was in an adventuring party that was spurned by the parents of the wealthy scions of Aug Autal, and their “quest” to recover some form of “advanced feather token” from a mansion in OldHollow led to their demise. (It was even later discovered that one of the party members was secretly ressurrected and brought to Hodemont Asylum,   'Chester De’Dorrelle '  (Cyrano).) While she died defending her party, she rose as some form of advanced Ghoul hybrid and has been plotting revenge ever since those dread events 75 years ago. ShadowTongue’s plan appears to be unfolding, a scheme that will bring death (and undeath) to the families that rejected her and her now deceased adventuring party by turning the honored dead of Aug Autual into ghouls. If this contagion becomes known or is widespread, the entire basis of Aug Autal’s economy could be destroyed. The party has thwarted the spread of her contagion through Tankardtaker’s, part of a plan she had to humiliate and destroy Gastric and Mae, but as Founder’s Day proves ever closer, the party wonders if they can stop her without tipping her off. While originally in her plan two entire old families of Aug Autal had been wiped out, a chance meeting with the Elven Professor seems to have changed that history.

Shadowtongue was eventually put to her final rest by the party & the GhoulPowder Plot resolved, leading to their claiming of estate lands in the Northern Expanse.
