Zheroff, the Goblin Matriarch



The Hexcaster, the Lady of Dread, Mother of Bile, the Temptress. Zheroff is the sister of Narok, the Goblin King, and though she may not wear a queen's crown, she is far more than she seems. Once, during her time as an Elf, Zheroff was worshipped for her beauty, a socialite adored by her people to the point of obsession. Her stunning allure was matched only by her skill as a Witch. But beneath the radiant surface lay a devious mind, one twisted by envy. Zheroff harbored a deep jealousy toward her Goddess, resenting the fact that any being could be more beautiful than herself.


When the opportunity arose to betray their home, Zheroff did more than simply follow her brother's lead—she became the whisper in the dark that fanned the flames of treachery. Together, they brought ruin to their people, and for their betrayal, they were cursed. Twisted into grotesque forms, their Elven beauty was stripped away. Yet, like Narok, Zheroff learned to wield her curse as a weapon, harnessing its dark potential in ways even her brother could not.

As the Goblin Matriarch, Zheroff became a nightmare incarnate, tempting the races of the world with her seductive charms, birthing goblins from those who succumbed to her lure.


When seduction failed, she used corruption and dark magic to transform others into goblins, either through deceit or outright abduction. She is Narok's counterpart—where he is the strategist, she is the deadly weapon, weaving her influence through manipulation and dark magic. While she often plays the role of the carefree harlot, Zheroff is, in truth, a brilliant mastermind, far more dangerous than any would assume.
