#1 She Who Talks to Shadows
She Who Talks to Shadows is a powerful sorceress who is trying to revive an ancient evil for reasons only she understands. She carries a cage filled with shadows that contains a horror so disturbing looking at it can drive you insane.
She was freed from her entombment in a pyramid in Egypt by an archeologist who was looking for ancient artifacts and refused to believe the stories about the curse on the tomb. Now he is the unwilling slave of the sorceress who uses him to learn about the strange world she now finds herself in.
