Overview
Drawn from Saryrn - The Mistress of Torment and Pain — deity description.EQ1Primary · mirrored · best available source
Born a woman of striking beauty, she now rules the Demi-Plane of Pain, a hot, damp and uncomfortable place with no flat surfaces on which to walk.
Instead the ground is cluttered with small, closely placed, stalagmites of smooth obsidian.
Saryrn busies herself by spending personal time with those cursed enough to live in her realm. She captures and torments her subjects mentally and physically and completely at random.
The length of their torment before she releases them again, is also completely random - based mainly upon her whims.
Those who fall into her hands may suffer but a few moments or for months at a time.
All live with the fear that at any time, she may choose them as a partner.
