	Originally from the continent of [[Kara-Tur]] on the world of [[Toril]], Tsien Chiang was a [[wizard]] of great power and a woman of great beauty. Her father's sexist dismissal of her abilities and ambitions as a child inculcated in her a bitter [[hatred]] of him and of all men. After she [[poisoned]] him and mentally enfeebling her relatives, Tsien Chiang became the ruler of her family's lands. She attracted many suitors with her charm and influence, taking on a total of four husbands from the uppermost echelons of society. Each one bore her a child, but she ultimately [[killed]] each one before moving on to finding the next. Three of the daughters so produced were [[evil]], with the fourth, Nightingale, being truly [[good]]-hearted and adored by the [[god]]s. Though Tsien Chiang thought Nightingale to be a disgrace, Tsien Chiang used her fourth daughter most effectively to achieve her evil ends in the world.

Although she is loath to let any men live in her [[domain]] minus swearing total subservience and providing substantial gifts, any visitor to her domain is not wanted and is thus in high danger of termination. Tsien Chiang keeps the company of various evil [[spirit]]s whom cater to her whims and those of her daughters.

			Tsien Chiang is [[immortal]], unable to be truly slain until the four bells that hold her daughters souls are also destroyed.

			Tsien Chiang enjoyed watching the would-be lovers of her daughters destroy each other and then arranging the destruction of any survivors. These atrocities brought joy to Tsien Chiang's eldest daughters, but Nightingale’s heart became heavy, and thereby her beautiful [[song]]s, with sadness. Nightengale brought her objections to her mother and sisters, but every time she was severely beaten. The gods sent foreboding warnings of Tsien Chiang's [[transgression]]s, but she heeded them not. Tsien Chiang held the gods in contempt, for she blamed them for holding the truth of four from her.

			The fourth time Nightengale was badly beaten, Tsien Chiang was filled with the urge to completely decimate her [[body]]. As the horrid [[torture]] commenced, fog began to enshroud Tsien Chiang's [[Palace of Bones]]. The emperor attempted to stop Tsien Chiang, but [[Tsien Chiang breaks her oath\|she slew him with a laugh, finally breaking her oath.]] Tsien Chiang [[imprisoned]] the living remains of Nightengale in the [[Tower of Broken Promises]] as [[the Mists]] tore [[I'Cath]] from Kara-Tur forever.
