History

Shumon, a unique shifter, draws his strength from an extraordinary source—the majestic sphinx. In the face of the church of Waukeen's crusade against shifters, he emerges as a key leader in the resistance, fighting to protect the pride of the werepeople.   His machete unsheathed, Shumon becomes a symbol of defiance against the looming genocide. His shifter clan, accustomed to roaming the vast plains and savage savannah without concern for borders or political machinations, suddenly finds themselves targeted. As tensions escalate between elves and humans in the empire, the church of Waukeen seizes the opportunity to redirect blame and scapegoat the shifters for the empire's troubles.   In the midst of this unjust conflict, Shumon valiantly leads the resistance. His unique ability to shift into a sphinx makes him a formidable opponent on the battlefield. He undertakes this arduous task with the determination to show those perpetuating the crusade the folly of their actions. Shumon's actions in the resistance become a crucial aspect of the larger conflict against the church of Waukeen's persecution of the shifters.   In 1065 AD, Shumon was captured, marking the end of the crusade. Shumon died two years later by the hand of a zealous prison warden.
