Lady Vashj, The Naga Queen
<Coilfang Matron>
Vashj was borne Highborne (quel’dorei) in the city of Vashj’ir, where her mother, Lestharia Vashj, was the high leader and matron. She somehow left her homeland, and came to the city of Zin-Azshari, capital of the night elves, sometime before the War of the Ancients.Once chief among Queen Azshara’s handmaidens, Vashj became one of the serpentine Naga when Azshara and her followers were sent to the bottom of the sea during the Great Sundering.
They’re all here! I took it upon myself to create an illustration of a Mythological creature or character for every letter of the alphabet, trying to span across a multitude of cultures and creature-types. Another thing I wanted to accomplish with this project was to find some the more unusual and/or obscure creatures that don’t get as much representation in artwork. Individual Tumblr Posts with said creatures’ descriptions are below.
Again, I’ll be making this into a small run of books as a way to test the waters. If there’s more demand for a larger run, I’ll definitely be looking into it!
