Shorka
Status:	Historical Figure
Aliases:	the Cobra
Race:	S'Kra Mur
Gender:	Female
Associates:	Lanival, Uthmor

Military leader serving under Lanival.

Born under the sign of the King Snake. Convinced her tribe (the people of Mhalush) to side with Lanival, some of his earliest support. Brilliant, charismatic, and had a fine eye for tactics, and so she served as an excellent advisor. Shorka would later serve beside a Gor'Tog by the name of Uthmor.

After the war, she led the S'Kra out of their old homes and to the desert, where they founded Muspar'i (225 BL) and her reign as Queen of Velaka began. Her son succeeded her, but the current "Blood of Shorka" are unlikely to carry any of her blood, as status is determined by things other than bloodline. She had many children.

One of the first to openly worship the World Dragon. S'Kra community has a mixed opinion of her.

Muspar'i Statue

• Found in Shorka's Square in NW Muspar'i:

The tall silver monument to Shorka displays the former Queen and aide to Lanival in all her glory, her robe flowing at the hand of some great wind. One arm stretches high into the air, seeming to grab at the heavens, while her other hand clutches a small gem at her side.
