Deep within the prison lie the quarters of its high priestess and warden, Svendack — one of Baphomet's most loyal and dangerous servants, and a keeper of the keys that secure the labyrinth's darkest cells. Forewarned of your coming by descriptions from Baphomet himself, she has watched you through scrying magic and waits with grim anticipation.

Svendack is a spellcaster of formidable might, girded before battle with a suite of protective magics and attended by tarry demodand minions who throw themselves into melee at her command. She delights in the chance to finally destroy you and win her passage home, cackling as she flings her most punishing spells from beyond your reach, only lamenting that duty denies her the lingering deaths she feels you deserve.

Yet even she knows when to yield. Wounded badly enough, she will flee — not in defeat, but to make her final stand at the herald's side. To breach the warden's chambers is to confront one of the prison's chief powers, and to strip away another of the defenders who stand between you and your captured champion.
