After Yamun Khahan's death, what happened to mother Bayalun? Did she rule the horselands legally or secretly? Or did she not? How old was she when Yamun died anyway?

Good question.

She wasn't mentioned at all in the Hordelands update in Dragon Magazine #349.

I wish I had that novel - I've tried looking for it several times, but I seem to have completely lost it in one of my moves.

She may heave been giving some ceremonial title and 're-assigned', but it doesn't appear she has anything to do with the running of Hubadai's Kingdom - he follows the Red Knight (which is the 'state religion' of Yaļmmunahar).

I believe there's an unpublished short story that dealt with her fate. No, not by Ed. By James Lowder, perhaps? Hmm . . .
Anyway, that's the reason for the utter lack of lore about her, post-Horde.
love,

Interesting.

Any chance you can find out whose unpublished story it was, my Lady?

-Or publish it, maybe? Yeah, yeah, I know it's impossible, but...It can't hurt to ask, right?

Hmmm..she interested me the most in book 1 because of her sly and cunning attitude, but she still has a long way to go when it comes to magic lore.

-Well, the Tuigan weren't known for their magical prowess, and much as they were their numbers and horse-riding war tactics and all, so...

Once I read about Kourmira, my first thought was that it would be fun to introduce Eke Bayalun Khadun as a villain in a campaign set in that region, especially if she managed to escape her dead magic "prison" that she was confined too. Its probably cliche at this point, but I could picture her as some kind of undead, though not a lich so much as perhaps some kind of restless spirit that's just trying to take apart Hubadai's new kingdom.

I'd like to picture her out as a Larva Mage...but she'd look bad in that. Mebbe just spin off a story that she mated with a sleeping sentient being on the hordelands (and only people with big enough magic can detect it).

Banshee would fit her, but Hag is also a possibility, given their proliferance in the east.

Isn't there at least one Hag-type that has the banshee's wail? THAT would work... she did seem like a bit of a nag.
