Persian new year is less than a week away. Last night was Chaharshanbeh Suri, a fire festival in Persian culture that takes place in the last Tuesday night/Wednesday morning of the year.

Last night a new wave of protests happened. Among fires and fireworks, people took to the streets, put mandatory hijab on fire, danced and chanted "death to the dictator". It was MAJESTIC. I missed this. Street protests are powerful, they bring you back to life.

But last night was too nerve wracking for me. I walked a line between crying and panicking all night long. Every corner I took I was reminded of people who have been murdered or injured in the last six months. People who have lost everything they knew. Animals who have been hurt and injured. Last night some fighting happened too. And I might have witnessed someone getting severely injured (hope they're alive). I don't want to nag. I feel like I've done that a lot. I just wish the regime fails eventually. I'm so tired of living like this.

People have posted some videos of last night. Just to give you a picture of what happened last night you can check these accounts: 1500tasvir iranwire and Iran International.

Lamia, Quettamum

“Unknowable” © David Palumbo, accessed at ComicArtFans here

[The World Tour comes to Asia, and like with the previous stops in Europe and North America, it’s not as if the Creature Codex hasn’t already done a lot of Asian monsters. So I am going to be mixing it up between familiar mythoi (yokai, Filipino mythology, The Guideways Through Mountains and Seas) with some less familiar ones. Like the lore of Balochistan, one of the provinces of Pakistan. The Mum of Quetta is a local bogeyman with roots in the late 19th century, when Quetta became a site of British imperial attention. A statue of a sphinx erected in a graveyard became the focal point for stories of a man eating monster. Thanks to @abominationimperatrix​ for sharing this awesome story with me!]

Lamia, Quettamum CR 9 CE Magical Beast This great leonine creature has the head of a human woman, although her teeth are still quite sharp.

A quettamum is a particularly bestial offshoot of lamias. They are sometimes mistaken for sphinxes, which they closely resemble. Indeed, some sages believe that quettamums are hybrids of sphinxes and lamiae, although the quettamums deny this violently. Quettamums are cruel hunters, lurking around the margins of settlements in order to catch and eat children, their favorite food. A quettamum can use its senses through any statue with a face over surprising distances, and they use this to spy on their neighbors and look for victims. They are notorious bogeys in any area where they are known, and a town where all the statues have covered faces or are defaced may be in a quettamum’s territory.

A quettamum prefers to attack from ambush. If stalking prey, this may be a conventional surprise attack, but at their lairs, quettamums spend much of their time surveying their surroundings in statue form. They usually decorate their territory with other sphinx-like statues, making it confusing to determine which is the monster and which is just a statue. They typically cloak themselves in magical silence before pouncing, the better to conceal the screams of their victims. Quettamums dislike fair fights, and will typically try to run if they are not in a position of strength within a few rounds.

Other lamiae tend to have a mixed relationship with quettamums. The quettamum cannot change its shape or disguise itself magically as a humanoid, so they are rarely suitable for missions of corruption. But they are intelligent and magically gifted all the same, and make excellent spies. Some, especially lamia matriarchs, view quettamums with a sense of condescension, treating them as poor relations. Quettamums tend to get along well with cultists of Areshkagal, and fiendish and half-fiend quettamums can be found in the Abyssal layer of the Blood Clefts. 

Quettamum               CR 9 XP 6,400 CE Large magical beast Init +5; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Perception +13 Defense AC 23, touch 15, flat-footed 17 (-1 size, +5 Dex, +1 dodge, +8 natural) hp 114 (12d10+48) Fort +14, Ref +13, Will +10 Immune confusion and insanity effects; SR 20 Offense Speed 60 ft.

This functions as an enter image spell (CL 12th), except that the quettamum can make Perception checks through any statue with a face, not just images of itself. A quettamum cannot animate an image or speak through it. Wisdom Drain (Su) A creature bitten by a quettamum takes 1d4 points of Wisdom drain (no save).

Dr. Ebrahim Rigi, a Hero

A Baloch physician was beaten to death by the Islamic Republic. His crime was treating injured protesters. He was arrested at the beginning of protests and was released on bail. He was arrested again this week and murdered. From his last Instagram post:

"We had a lot of dreams in this land. We tell ourselves maybe we're dead and this is our hell. Maybe that is true." "I didn't know treating the injured and objecting the murder of our sisters and brothers are sins" "know that not even my death, not even my execution would matter to me because I've been killed multiple times in this land" "I've been offered to leave this country but I won't leave my city."

"Baloch women spraying antiauthoritarian protest slogans in the city Gorgan/Astarabad, capital city of the minorities majority Golestan province, current northeast Iran.

Balochistan's southwestern part is currently held as Iran's southeast, where the protests sparked by the murder of Kurdish woman Jîna/Mahsa Amini by the regime's immoral "morality police" in Tehran still continue in mostly huge Friday protests consecutively every week for now soon a year, in spite of repression including huge actual massacre."
