Shadnusaptera
The sphinx Shadnusaptera was the final guardian of the Great Seal, located in the dungeons below Gallowspire in Ustalav. She was placed there by the generals of the victorious armies of the Shining Crusade to keep the Tar-Baphon from escaping his prison, and to prevent any of the lich's followers from freeing him. She was magically preserved and nourished by the magic of the Great Seal, and upon the breaking of the Seal would age hundreds of years in the blink of an eye. Shadnusaptera attacked anyone not carrying a piece of the Shield of Aroden on sight, and since these shards are carefully guarded in Lastwall, she is a great danger to almost anyone.1
The fate of Shadnusaptera since Tar-Baphon broke free of Gallowspire in 4719 AR is unknown.
