Yssrix, Oracle of Mihsu

Yssrix is a Serpentfolk Oracle that had quickly ascended the ranks of Srasthadran leadership to be placed at the side of Mihsu, current leader of the Serpentfolk within Srasthadra. He, however was not granted a position on their Council.

Whether due in part to his actions before he enshrined the position, or what he promised he could do after is still a secret shared between the two. He often is given leave from the city with his own honor guard, separate from Ssuku's attachment.

During the quest Save the Last (Coiling) Dance, it was identified that Yssrix was potentially attempting to complete a ritual to ascend in some form. The party identified that he was digging for...something that he felt was a great need. During the climactic battle of that quest the party observed a vision of what was to come, with Yssrix moving stars and heavens above to realign a new Celestial Naga constellation. The results of this are not yet found, however a letter that Earlshack found on that quest indicates this may have greater ties to other powers.

Yssrix spent years in the shadowed archives of Srasthadra's halls as a would be Bone Prophet of no renown, who spent the majority of his time studying whispers left in the stone by ancient Serpentfolk divinities. While others dealt in politics, Yssrix instead devoted himself to the voices of the dead and buried and in time, they began to answer. Stars speaking to him of hidden powers, ancient riddles and powers beyond his comprehension.

When Zholkhala died, Yssrix was one of the first to turn to the arcane arts instead of political intrigue. Ley line pulses and unusual dreams that cropped up among the people. Answers to questions that Mihsu's own auguries failed to figure.

Though through reluctance, Mihsu gave Yssrix the title of Oracle to the Council, a title none had owned for generations, and gave him the bothersome core to unlock the greater truth behind these signs that he was witnessing and able to decode.

To Mihsu, Yssrix is simply a voice that she cannot control. Rising quickly through exploiting the populous' reliance on religious markers was dangerous and he was a figurehead of many local communities. He would remain close, but not friendly.

To Yssrix, Mihsu is simply a stepping stone to something greater. She allows him the access and protection needed for his studies and work in the field. Watcher's Island has a rich history to be mined and discovered that will help ascend the Serpentfolk, no, Him to a greater power. He serves Mihsu only so long as she serves that purpose. Should their paths diverge from the prophecy that he has glimpsed, Yssrix is prepared to rewrite the stars and their words himself.

----

Yssrix's end goal is to ascend to become an Ancient Entity himself, though through the misguided interpretation of what he found. What he believes to be great ancient celestial Naga speaking to him of old powers and knowledge are actually whispers from the various AO, hiding themselves to use him as a tool.

He cannot make progress on unsealing any of the Ancient Entities

As time goes on and Yssrix's goals are not stopped, he will continue to build power and make progress towards this end goal of ascending.
