Appearance
Lyzzoreth retains the haunting allure of her Drow lineage — midnight skin shimmering with faint starlight, her hair a radiant cascade of silver-white threaded with ethereal luminescence. Her nebular purple eyes hold both fury and sorrow, a reflection of the duality within her soul. She adorns herself in armor forged from crystallized Voidstone, its edges glowing with a dim amethyst pulse that mirrors the energy she commands. Her presence radiates composure and lethality in equal measure, every movement sharpened by the discipline of a thousand battles.
Personality
Reserved, calculating, and unwaveringly disciplined. Lyzzoreth is a woman of conviction who walks the fine line between salvation and damnation. Her loyalty is absolute — to Azarox Kuroishi and to the ideal of redemption through power. Yet beneath the steel exterior lies a quiet grief, one born from the blood of her fallen kin and the hollow victories of her past. She rarely speaks of her emotions, but when she does, her words cut deeper than her blades. Unlike her sister Tzylaen, whose rage consumed her, Lyzzoreth learned restraint — the art of wielding control as her greatest weapon.
History
Once a prodigy of House Shae'Quarn and Lolth's most promising blade, Lyzzoreth rose through the Underdark ranks as an elite matron-warrior and assassin. She was the perfection of Drow ambition — cunning, ruthless, and utterly loyal to the Spider Queen's creed. Yet the endless cycles of betrayal, sacrifice, and divine silence wore upon her spirit. When she encountered Azarox Kuroishi — then newly exiled from Asgard — Lyzzoreth found in him a reflection of her own defiance. He offered her not salvation, but understanding — a chance to escape the chains of divine cruelty. Her defection shattered her House's honor, and in the chaos that followed, her sister Tzylaen declared her a traitor. The ensuing duel beneath the caverns of Xal'Vareth ended with Tzylaen's death by Lyzzoreth's hand — a wound that never healed, neither for her soul nor her family's legacy. Through the Void, she was reborn as a Nebulan — no longer a Drow, but something far greater and infinitely more burdened.
Synopsis
Now a high-ranking member of the Crown of Null, Lyzzoreth serves as Azarox Kuroishi's Umbral Talon, acting as his executioner and strategist. Her mastery of both Drow sorcery and Void channeling makes her one of the most lethal beings in existence. Despite her fearsome reputation, she carries the weight of every life she's taken, every sin that tethered her to the darkness. Among the Voidborn, she is revered as both weapon and warning — a testament to what happens when faith dies and willpower endures. Those who know her best describe her not as a villain or savior, but as the shadow that learns to love the light it can never reach.
