Simbul

Lore & Background

The Simbul is one of the Seven Sisters, the daughters born to Elué Shundar (possessed by Mystra) and Dornal Silverhand. The source does not provide her birth name or specific birth year, but notes that the first daughter, Anastra Syluné, was born in the Year of Laughter (761 DR). The Simbul is a Chosen of Mystra, invested with a portion of the goddess's divine power known as Silver Fire. The source does not describe her rule of Aglarond, her conflicts with Thay, or her aging. It does state that the Chosen might gain special powers, but these would still be far less than those of a deity.

In Their Own Story

The source does not provide a specific story or scene involving the Simbul. It notes that Mystra appeared to a few mortals she considered suitable, first in dream visions and then directly, and ultimately invested part of her divine power (known as the Silver Fire) in them. Elminster and Khelben Blackstaff were two of the first Chosen. The Simbul, as one of the Seven Sisters, is also a Chosen, but the source gives no further details about her actions or adventures.
