Xenka is a revered and mighty Bastiladon, carrying the revered Ark of Sotek upon its back. Born in the Bronze spawning pools, Xenka is not just a creature of immense strength and ancient power, but also a symbol of the divine wrath of the Seraphon gods. The great beast is a living embodiment of the Old Ones' will and the primal force of Sotek, the great serpent god of the lizardfolk.
Xenka's story begins in the heart of the Cave of Rok-Nar, where it was chosen by the wise and enigmatic Slann Mage-Priests for its strength and resilience. Raised from a hatchling in the sacred caves, Xenka was imprinted with the essence of Sotek, and from the beginning, it was clear that it would be more than just a mere servant of the Seraphon armies. Its fate was to carry the Ark of Sotek—an artifact of immense power and ancient origin. This floating structure, shaped like the very head of Sotek himself, channels the wrath and protective power of the serpent god and in battle trow serpents upon their enemies.
Xenka’s bond with the Ark of Sotek is one of both strength and spirit. The ancient creature can feel the presence of the serpent god’s influence deep within its scales, and it has come to see the Ark not just as a tool of war, but as an extension of its very being. The energies of the Ark flow through Xenka like blood through its veins, filling it with divine fury during battles. The roar of the creature as it charges into combat with the Ark upon its back is said to shake the very earth, instilling fear into those who stand against it.
In battle, Xenka is a terrifying sight. With the Ark of Sotek resting upon its back, it stands like a monolithic force, a terror of scales and divine fury. The Bastiladon uses its immense bulk to plow through enemy lines, crushing anything in its path, while the Ark of Sotek unleashes devastating bolts of celestial energy that tear apart the ranks of its foes. Few have ever faced the might of Xenka and lived to tell the tale.
