Belet-Shuthnir (pronounced beh-LET-SHUTH-neer) was a necromancer who briefly controlled much of the coast of the eastern Chaska Sea for a short period in the early ninth millennium. From her stronghold in Anaharath she conquered south to Aradet and Gath Padalla, north up to the River Qes, and east to the frontier of the Arrajan Wilds, her territory reaching its greatest extent in Y8440*. In the same year she finally succeeded at her goal of attaining lichdom, which brought both power and danger as nearby nations began to take notice of the new threat. In Y8446* the Eastern Crusade was declared against Belet-Shuthnir and her undead forces, an alliance between rebellious cities within her domains, Thadrian and Hellean states, and various religious orders.
The lich's reign finally met its end in Y8452* when her last undead thrall armies were destroyed in a battle outside of her capital city. With her soul cage destroyed and scattered, the body of Belet-Shuthnir was entombed and warded deep below Anaharath to seal it away, where she remains today.
While the corpse of the arch-lich is still beneath Anaharath, under constant watch by the city's elite guards, the body of her long-time apprentice Belet-Terraban was never located.
Belet-Shuthnir is a chosen name - her previous name is unknown.
