![[ardeagoliath2.png]] *Y'Driltha breathes acid down on [[Jié ní]] during [[The Attack on The Ardea Goliath]].* # Description Y'Driltha The Grave was a Female [[Black Dragon]]. When disguised as [[Queen-Mother]] Maria Louisa Mallek, she posed as a member of [[The Mallek Royal Family]] of [[The Alavastian Empire]], the mother of [[Balsorym|King Daudren Mallek]]. Maria often took on the official duties of The Throne and ruled in her son's stead. --- # History ## Pre-Campaign Y'Driltha was [[Y'Driltha's Supposed Defeat|rumored to be defeated by adventurers in The Empire sometime in The early 1400s]]. Items from her hoard, such as the [[Crystal from Y'Driltha's Hoard]] were artifacts of great significance in [[The Alavastian Empire]]. Rumors of her death were greatly exaggerated, and at some point she gained control of [[The Mallek Royal Family]], exerting complete psychic control over her son [[Balsorym|King Daudren Mallek]], who was the [[Copper Dragon]] [[Balsorym]] in disguise. ## [[The Boy Scout Boys Campaign]] She attended [[The Flamerule Fete of 1458]]. She was gorgeous, blonde, and quite busty. She has unique purple eyes. She was observed to be covered in [[Illusion Magic]], which in hindsight was a hint at her hidden draconic form. During [[The Investigation of The Crown]] it was determined that she was the true mastermind of [[The Claw of Tiamat]], the cult attempting to resurrect [[Tiamat]]. Her true form as Y'Driltha was revealed during [[The Attack on The Ardea Goliath]]. After her true form was revealed, she began [[The Burning of Krashaprovos]] in retaliation before she fought [[The Boy Scout Boys]] and a freed [[Balsorym]] in [[The Final Confrontation With Y'Driltha]]. Ultimately, she was killed by [[Yuhguna Dyeh]] after attempting to banish him to [[The Nine Hells]]. # Legacy In the years following Y'Driltha's defeat, [[Balsorym]], who Y'Driltha had enthralled and forced to impersonate [[Balsorym|King Daudren Mallek]] continued to rule [[The Alavastian Empire]] despite his true form being known. ---
