Shiva

Overview

Shiva is a multi-armed Eidolon bonded to Lindiwe (and by extension controlled by Maw). Shiva possesses a destructive third eye on his brow capable of vitrifying targets with a single glance.

Appearance and Abilities

Shiva manifests with multiple arms that can dance in displays of power and defiance. His most dangerous feature is a third eye on his brow—when opened, it can reduce targets to ash or vitrify them instantly. The eye remains closed unless deliberately forced open.

The Confrontation with Sylas (393 AC)

When Sylas confronted Maw through Lindiwe’s body, Shiva manifested his many arms in a display of defiance. After Sylas revealed that Lindiwe’s psyche was being slowly digested by Maw, Lindiwe briefly seized control of her own body and attempted to force Shiva’s third eye open to destroy the warlock. Despite focusing all her will on prying the eyelids apart, Maw regained control before the eye could open, preventing the attack.
