Lobella

Lobella was once a powerful druid, that was given the were-curse by Malar, the god of evil lycanthropy thousands of years ago. The legends say that hundreds of years ago, she trained as a nature druid and became extremely powerful in the hopes of reuniting the elves and humans after the spellplague by harnessing the latent magic of each planet. During her travels she took a love, Tristevar. Tristevar was a well meaning but fool hardy half-elf cleric of Chauntea who lived in the ancient city of Yoelauna, located near the current city of Nigardia. Very little is known of their courtship but it was known that they married after a night of passion and travled together until Malar's incedious intervention.

Following Mystra's resurection from the weave, Lobella and Tristevar, continuing their quest to unite the peoples of Kua, rallyed a great army to take back and cleanse the plaguelands left in the wake of the destruction. During this crusade, the pair, along with their scouting party, came along a great mysterious temple in the plaguelands of a previously unknown god, Malar. Their entire scouting party was slaughtered and as Malar decended Trstevar in his love offered himself into Malar's service in exchange for his love's life. Malar agreed however and spared her life but, after securing the contract with Tristevar, left Lobella with the were curse.

All who are infected with the were curse could be compelled to change and follow Malar's bidding and thus, she was ordered to travel the land spreading Malar's plague. Feeling betrayed by Chauntea for the loss of her love, and life, she has been known to be extraordinarly ruthless towards her followers and has on many occassions taken up residence in Chauntea's temples and infecting Chauntea's followers with her "gift".

The last known sighting of Lobella was 120 years ago in a small cathedral to Chauntea called helm which she descrated but was trapped in during her attempted conquest. A party of adventurers were said to have destroyed her and finally ended her time on the planet Cuzona.
