   Dolmodeen is a hulking humanoid of eldritch horror. Six glowing red eyes lurk beneath a prominent brow-ridge. Below diagonal nose slits, a tangle of long tentacles surround a circular maw of serrated teeth. Her neck has gills that slowly ripple. Her massive, muscular body has rubbery, black-and-purple flesh covered in slime and scales. Her flesh is semi-translucent, revealing alien anatomy, muscles, and organs. She is draped in wavy fronds of bio-luminescent seaweed. Her arms end in finger-like tentacles. She often carries a fishing spear of salt-rusted iron.

	There is poetry in making, as when a sculptor shapes a block of stone into a figure. And there is poetry in unmaking, as when the elements wear down the statue's features to obscurity. A fear of death deludes us into believing that making is sweet and unmaking is bitter. But these are tastes we invent, not truths of the Wheel. -Brokexl, Druid of She Who Claims the Last		There is poetry in making, as when a sculptor shapes a block of stone into a figure.

	After a lot of asking around, Jane finally meets a lizardfolk named Ishoko Many Reeds (he/him cis het). Ishoko is a diplomat for a remote lizardfolk city called Traxint on a world called Damaxia. Among those in the know, Traxint is highly regarded for their various skin care products, including lotions and ointments for scaly beings. (Evidently some of these products are very popular with tieflings, dragonborn, dragons, scaled fiends, and so on.) Ishoko's mother is a shaman of Dolmodeen. He explains that Dolmodeen is understood to be one of the "precursor gods"--a diverse group of divinities older than most. Her following has waxed and waned over centuries, but many lizardfolk have been ardent worshipers. Ishoko is delighted that Jane wants to strengthen awareness and worship of Dolmodeen in Sigil. He gives her two holy books from his collection for free, assuring her that he can easily request new copies be included in the next shipment from Traxint. The books are ''[[The All-Consuming Deep]]'' and ''[[The Valiant Battle at the Edge of Night]]''.
