Personality
Like all umbra dragons, she is lazy and only takes physical action if threatened or bored. She has total control over shadows around her and can exhibit monumental control without breaking a sweat. She is outright cruel and hurtful and enjoys all forms of torture.

A creature of ambition, Zyadlen wishes to rule most of southern Aravin consisting of Findlor, Gelgreth, Elidian and Relannas and in particular the Cut. Once she has control of these securely and bathed them in darkness she intends to turn the Cut into her spawning ground, intending its spectral presence to produce terrible and deadly offspring. Currently she cannot do this as her eggs are destroyed in the presence of the sun and she cannot simply bury them underground, only a land removed from light will do. If she can control the south she can use points in each section to create her everlasting darkness spell and hold the south in her grasp eternal.

History
Zyadlen is an exceptionally old and deadly umbra dragon. The umbra dragons are a race of dark dragon wraiths, part real, part Spectra. Extremely malevolent and downright lazy, they care little for the gods themselves and would take their place, if they could. They use mortals as playthings, often pitting them against one another in terrible plots simply for their own amusement.

They often broker deals with mortals to obtain their souls. These deals offer real power at a great cost, usually unending servitude. Zyadlen is the mother of this race of dragon-wraiths, and is the most powerful among them. She cannot recall a time when she did not rule, and all those spawned since trace their heritage to her. She is called the queen of spite because of her nature, although she is queen in name only. They have no collective culture, being a rather individualistic group of creatures. None of her spawn, however, have bested her in a challenge for this title.

Zyadlen has agents in Relannas and Elidian but has lost contact with those in Findlor since the war broke out. She has recently created a new avatar to hunt down and slay Throngheth, whose rule over the south is expanding. She needed to convince this new servant that Therron was responsible for a massacre she herself in fact committed. She needed a soul with enough scars and damage to control and to pour her hate and malice into. This agent is a patsy, conveniently motivated enough to fight the Orc invasion and to attempt to slay Therron.

She hates the Orcs, believing their minds to be too primitive and blunt to be of use to her schemes. She feels that simply pushing the opposing forces into the right path will be enough to return things to their previous state.

Physical Manifestations
She is a huge beast with purple-black scales that disappear and reappear through the smoke like shadows emanating from her body. Her head portrays a unnerving ever present grin. Her hide is like steel and yet not quite material at all. She can emit a black flame from her maw that reduce anything it touches to nothing, almost rotting it away. Besides this more hideous form, she can appear in many guises to further her plots.
