Jourrael

 is a nightmarish specter, an ancient assassin of Lolth, the Spider Queen. As an NPC, is played by Matthew Mercer.

Appearance
Jourrael has the appearance of a drow woman with reddish hair pulled back a little bit by a black bandana, swathed in a cloak and leathers. She has a semi-spectral form.

Background
Referred to as the Caedogeist, Jourrael was a chosen assassin of Lolth, the Spider Queen, exalted through an arrangement with Asmodeus during a brief era of unified interests. Jourrael was a nightmarish specter who walked through walls and mountains like water. Known colloquially as the Inevitable End, Jourrael could not be completely destroyed unless the contract of the agreement between Lolth and Asmodeus was destroyed. In the bloodshed at the end of The Calamity, this attempt failed, so the body of Jourrael was sundered and sealed apart in secret. The heart was buried within the Lotusden Greenwood, and the skull entrusted to the elves in the Veluthil. At some point, the skull was apparently recovered from Molaesmyr and sold to the Stassman family of Kamordah, from whom it was stolen by Obann and his party.

The party is at the Invulnerable Vagrant purchasing equipment and supplies, when suddenly, Caduceus feels a searing pain in his back as he is attacked and seriously wounded by a red-haired female drow specter that immediately shifts back into the ground like a ghost.

Trivia
