Design Notes
This is a D&D Fourth Edition Lich named Valindra Shadowmantle. She appears in the Neverwinter Campaign Setting. Offensively she is PL 9 using Profane Fire. Defensively she is PL 7 using Dodge and Toughness. The nation of Thay is feared and despised throughout Faerun. Those of good stature and evil tyrants often unite to fend off the undead horrors that come from Thay. Many of Thay's operatives are working throughout Neverwinter. Valindra Shadowmantle, the hand of Szass Tam Thay's regent, oversees Thay's interest in the region. Szass Tam was trying to attain godhood using the Dread Ring a circular fortress built over an area leaking magic into the world. To attain godhood he needed an ample amount of magic and Thay's agents used a powerful ritual to summon the Primordial buried deep within the earth. Szass thought summoning the Primordial Maegera would cause enough death to power the Dread Ring. But his plans were foiled and the Primordial slept once again but not before causing tons of destruction to Neverwinter. Valindra hopes to power the Dread Ring once again. She has an uneasy relationship with the Cult of Dragons whose leader, Adimond Kroskas, reluctantly helps her mainly because she possesses his symbol of office the Ring of Dragons. He does not want it damaged or have his superiors find out she took it. She wants the cult to raise Lorragauth an ancient black dragon. Once raised she wants to change it into a Dracolich. Adimond Kroskas would like to see Lorragauth raised but not to see it turned into a Dracolich and does his best to delay Valindra's plans. Valindra is a very dangerous and determined and has armies of undead at her disposal.
