Scheherazade Alter: Nightmare Storyteller



Art commissioned from: cirenk

This is the first commission I have received. And I truly love the end result. I’m so grateful for it.



Lore:





This is Scheherezade Alter, Queen of the Eldritch Abominations. Seeking an escape from death at the hands of the cruel King, she started reading more and more books, until she found a cursed book…or perhaps the book found her. That was the Necronomicon, the forbidden book written by Abdul Alhazred. Scheherezade understood every curse and spell written on the book, she got insight of every drop of cosmic knowledge stored in it. She was no more the Queen scared of death, but a Sorcerer Queen whose powers could make entire countries tremble. Every night she would tell her King a more hellish story about the Outer Gods, and about the Great Old Ones sleeping on the depths of earth.

The King was driven to insanity from the revelations, the truth was too much, the horror was too much…and so the King that murdered dozens wives ended up killing himself to escape the horrors revealed by his final wife.

This is the Scheherezade born from her own fear to Death. A Queen that can kill even death itself. Holder of cosmic horrors that no other human could stand gazing at.
