Lythrani is the very definition of cold, collected regality. The drow employs a variety of arcane deceit and enchantment that, when coupled with a liberal definition of morals, creates a deadly combination. The Head Spymaster of the drow, Lythrani is an excellent ally to those willing to return the favor.

As is typical of most Dark Elves, or Drow as they prefer to be called, Lythrani possesses pale grey skin and white hair. Lythrani's attire consists of largely dark, regal pieces of clothing that allow as much for movement as they do for beauty. The centerpiece of her wardrobe is a long, flowing cloak reminiscent of starlit nights above the surface.

A spymaster is nothing without their tools, just as a tool is nothing without one who knows how to use it. Lythrani understands the utility of having an answer for every situation, and she seeks to spend her years honing these answers until they become a fine art.

Her arcane abilities are what are most striking. Illusions and enchantment alike make for her favored tools of deception and power, bent to her will and desire. With each one conjured, a web is cast through which she gains her sight. Her illusions thrive off of the darkness; the darker the shadow, the more vivid the illusion.

• In a dark cave, where a single flickering torch resides, it's easy to manipulate the unknown with something truly horrifying and present. Be it a massive beast or an unnervingly realistic person, it's a simple process.
• If the sun is blaring above on a clear day with nary a shadow cast on the open plains, only the vague imprint of illusions can thrive. Faint blurs of fading shadow, they're just enough for a brief distraction rather than full deception.

Enchantment can often be overlooked in favor of more flashy, direct forms of the arcane. However, it can be a useful skill when one has a network of spies at their fingertips. By imbuing artifacts with a morsel of her magic, it can be stored for quick and sudden usage. Her cloak is an artifact of this kind, able to cast a sudden bubble of shadow around her. This must be repeated, however, and cannot be employed too liberally. Another common one is a simple enchantment on a ring, merely the conjuration of a weapon; a bow and arrow, or a dagger. These enchantments are typically dispersed amongst her trusted spies, though her close allies may be granted one in order to ensure their survival.

Lythrani is also proficient in both bows and daggers, though they aren't her main course action.

Lythrani isn't known to be an emotional person, even to her closest companions. She takes pride in keeping a measured response, maintaining a porcelain mask with which she reacts to the world. A mask that is rarely shattered. Cunning and deceitful, it's no wonder she became spymaster of Zar'Ahal. Her humor is always delivered with a deadpan tone, to the point that it's common to think of it as being serious, despite the fact that they are oddly common from the typically serious drow.
