==History== | |||
Rufus, the silversmith of Kinsarmar, stumbled upon what would later become the entrance to the Kryx'lyre Caverns in the year 410 AD. While gathering crystals, he heard a loud series of clicking sounds coming from within the very walls of a cavern near Sodiuar Lake. A group of explorers, including [[Risca|Risca Arivan]], Ikitae Da'Saison, Drachius Intrinsia, and Kildare and Yandra Vian'Cirith, met with Abraxan, a known explosives expert and famed adventurer himself, to see if he would be able to blast a hole through the wall and allow them safe passage to the other side. | |||

*'''Z'raika, Queen of the Scarabs''' - Though not as large as the warrior scarabs, this queen scarab still inspires much fear. Her silvery mandibles and sharp looking claws click and look as if they could slice through anything with much ease. Her entire body is encased in hard carapace armour, while large, flickering wings adorn her back, occasionally creating a soft buzzing sound. Embedded in the centre of her beetle-like head is a large oval-shaped sapphire, which reflects the light, a sure sign of the royal line. Z'raika, Queen of the Scarabs exudes an aura of overwhelming power. It weighs about 200 pounds. | *'''Z'raika, Queen of the Scarabs''' - Though not as large as the warrior scarabs, this queen scarab still inspires much fear.

*'''Vishran, the Scarab Emissary''' - This scarab walks upright, reaching just below the average tanari's shoulders. His rounded head has two bulbous eyes just below two small horns. A large antenna grows on each side of the head, surrounding the small horns. The amber coloured eyes carefully look around the area, taking in the surroundings. A hard midnight blue carapace covers his body in a protective embrace, while two transparent wings rest along his back. Its mandibles are slightly smaller than most scarabs and large claws adorn his four arms. Vishran, the Scarab Emissary is quite powerful. It weighs about 156 pounds. | *'''Vishran, the Scarab Emissary''' - This scarab walks upright, reaching just below the average tanari's shoulders.

*'''Sor'scha, the Crystal Spider Queen''' - The Queen's massive translucent body has been created from fire quartz crystal, and radiates warmth from its inner fire. Her large crystal abdomen pulses with life, while her eight crystalline legs strain to hold her heavy body upwards. Crystalline mandibles line her mouth and click as they open and close. Though she must weigh a ton, she moves with surprising grace and fluidity, her beautiful crystalline body would be a prize to any gem collector. Sor'scha, the Crystal Spider Queen has an air of extreme strength. It weighs about 281 pounds. | |||
