Sivitri Scarzam was a human planeswalker who commanded the mighty Scarzam dragons named for her.[1]

History

The dragon war

Sivitri attacked southeastern Corondor with her horde of dragons. Refugees, mostly farmers, began to band together to battle them, but their weapons were useless. Eventually a healer found a new species of poppy created by Sol'Kanar that, when mulched into a potion, became a contact poison that could kill the Scarzam Dragons. Dozens of the creatures were killed before Sivitri, astride the largest Scarzam Dragon, left Dominaria. When the last dragon was destroyed, the victors settled in the areas north and west of the Great Sulgh Salt Marsh. Geyadrone Dihada entered the plane shortly afterward.[1]

Many years later Sol'Kanar summoned the Scarzam dragons, hopeful of destroying their entire race. Mounted on the last of them was Sivitri, left Dominaria. Gydolien Mor intervened by taking control of Sivitri's dragon, instructing it to leave. The last dragon went back through the portal through which it was summoned, with Sivitri still riding it.[1]

In other media

Dungeons & Dragons

Sivitri is a human planeswalker of the lineage of the Scarzam dragons of the Dragon Stronghold.[2] She has traveled the Multiverse, broadening her magical knowledge and collection of artifacts. Her powers include hydromancy, cold magic, and a strong defense against telepathic intrusion. Her eyes can deliver a cold look that freezes her opponent. She uses her long hair as a weapon; it is cold enough to cause frostbite to any it touches. Her hands are clawlike, and she brandishes a poison quill in battle. She dwells in a tower on an island in a so-far undisclosed location. She keeps the last living Scarzam dragon close by at all times.[2]

Spark

Sivitri was born ages before the Brothers' War, but after the fall of the Thran Empire. As a young Corondor girl, Sivitri found solace beneath the surface of the sea. She would walk into the ocean, holding her breath, and she would speak in Draconic as waves would form towering serpentine shapes. Her parents feared what was becoming of her, and those around her thought her an evil witch. One day she attempted to drown herself, but instead sparked to the Dragon Stronghold.[2]

The Dragon Stronghold

In the undersea plane where the Scarzam dragons made their lair, Sivitri learned of her draconic ancestry. She took command of the sorcerous powers that had been welling up over the years. She learned hydromancy and cold magic. Using the cold fire at the center of the stronghold, she forged her armor, a magical chitinous shell which gave her the power to breathe underwater. She then created a saddle from sharkskin for riding the Scarzam dragons, and made a bridle from silver, decorated with runes. Paired together, they allowed her to speak and understand Draconic and to telepathically command her mount. She then returned to invade Corondor.[2]

Legends

The seldom-seen planeswalker has garnered several legends, any of which may or may not be true:

  • Sivitri is said to have obtained a powerful artifact she planned to use to create a tsunami to destroy a city. A group of heroes supposedly snuck into her tower and stole the artifact, sparing the city's destruction.[2]
  • It is said that her dragon once became deathly ill, and was saved by a hero who was given prophetic information at an earlier date on how to heal it.[2]
  • Another legend says that her dragon was once taken to the abyss by a balor and its demonic host, and that a group of heroes saved it from being roasted.[2]

Trivia

  • "Scars of Scarzam!" is used as a curse in the Whispering Woods.[3]
  • Yn the comic, Sivitri is described as a "planes-traveling being". She is never called a planeswalker in a canon source.
