S'shar

Captain of the Tidefang, the lizardfolk's largest vessel. S'shar is Kessara's love interest — the two planned to hatch a clutch together upon his return.

A letter written in Draconic was found inside the belly of a sea serpent — a love note from S'shar to Kessara. He wrote of the sea's cruelty, of deep-beasts that crawl inside the mind and whisper without words, and of his desperate hope of returning home. The letter was translated by Mel and delivered to Kessara.

Kessara received it with alarm. The full moon had come and gone several times since S'shar's departure. She shared grim stories of sailors who had stiffened mid-voyage and hurled themselves into the sea, returning — if they returned at all — with their minds hollowed out.

S'shar's fate is unknown. The "deep-beasts that whisper without words" almost certainly describe the Aboleths.
