Jafan - The Swamp King (CR5 or CR10)

Jafan is well known amongst the Feyfolk and they try avoid trying to make deals with him, and only do so if absolutely desperate. He is cunning and treacherous even to other Fey. He will use misdirection and trickery to get the “better deal” against enemies and friends.


He has a pleasant temper but is thoroughly evil. He takes special pleasure in subverting and corrupting the good-hearted. In the swamp areas of the Fey Jafan makes his home and can traverse the Fey waters as if they were portals. Jafan is easily recognizable as it is not often you see a giant toad-like creature, with smooth skin, in a trenchcoat and hat. He carries a cane and usually has a ring or two on his fingers.

Most Fey wont even speak his name for fear it is “caught by the waters that flow” and delivered to his waiting ears. They will instead write the name on a piece of parchment and dare not speak it outloud. Any creature that speaks his name aloud has a 25% (DC 16) chance Jafan hears it, 50% (DC 11) if they are within 50 feet of an active water source. Each repeat of the name within 5 minutes decreases the DC by 2.
