Evacuating The Underdark (Pt. 1): Ascension of The Illithid

There's no true Underdark in my world, so I gotta get all the cool shit out of there and stick it somewhere else. Here's a post about mind flayer clerics living in the desert.

See all that circled shit down there? That's Souvland. It's a seafaring desert country of mostly humans who still worship the absent gods - and critical to that worship is the illithid.

1d10 Generals

So I like generals, so here's 1d10 of the big bastards.

That is, generals in the Fire Emblem sense, where they're just any kind of Big Tuff military figure, a miniboss one step above his own faceless grunts. Each of these guys are designed to fit into any role they need to - they can be minor villains, or allies, or quest givers, or guests at the queen's ball, or even just a flavorful capstone for that cadre on the other side of the hill. And since they're *kind of* nobility, they can be the PC's entryway into the political scene - they've all got an associated quest or two if the PCs latch on to them.
