Yaga Shura is another member of "the five" terrorizing the Sword Coast as the prophecy of Alaundo comes to its pinnicale.

Long ago, Yaga Shura was adopted by a former priestess of Bhaal, Nylaee. When Bhaal died, she hoped to raise Yaga Shura to become the new lord of murder, evidently, she even made him invunerable by teaching him the old rites and enabling him to remove his own heart, keeping it aflame until extinguished which would destroy his invunerability.

Yaga Shura betrayed Nylaee, leaving her in the old glade where he was raised among the undead followers of Bhaal. He soon after found many followers in his Fire Giant kin, who were lured by the promise of power and faith in their demi-god. This led to the construction of his temple in the Marching Mountains.

Yaga Shura, like many of the other members of the Five, joined together with them out of nessecity. He planned to merely use them, and was far more knowledgable than most about what the real purpose of the five was. Even most of the other members had less idea about it than he.

Yaga Shura's major flaw however, is his arrogance and pride. He is boastful to the extreme, and this allows mistakes to happen. But, his army is formed and very formidable. Mostly mercenary, the rest fanatical giants until the demi-god falls for all to see. Regardless, his army is comprimised primaryily of humans, and fire giants, along with a few elementals from the plane of fire as support.

Brash and overconfident, the forces of Yaga Shura have laid siege to Saradush, in an attempt to kill all the weakling Bhaalspawn within, and hastening the process to which Bhaal had foreseen as part of his resurrection many years ago.

Yaga Shura plans to become stronger, and more powerful than any in his lifetime could hope to achieve. But to do that, the brutal fire giant needed to employ some cunning, in dealing with the other four members of the Five.

If one is able to disable his regenerative ability that makes him invunerable, they would still face a considerable foe, and one that is likely to not be alone.

Approach, with extreme caution.
