Shazun Zhuu, Hyperborean Noble
(I’ve run several Astonishing ACKS sessions online since my last adventure logs; here’s a recent addition to the party – a Hyperborean Noble restored from hibernation.) A young scion of a lesser Hyperborean noble house, Shazun Zhuu showed sufficient promise … Continue reading
