Neha, also known as the Black Death, is a massive dragon that awoke beneath Bhathairk. Alongside Drokormir, Neha has ruled as his mate over Thagretis and the lands beyond which have fallen under their conquest. She is the last known female of the Elder Dragon race and as such is revered as the Goddess she so clearly is. She went into Sleep in the Epressa after laying her one egg which she took into sleep with her.

The origins of Neha are unknown to the world. Draconic Order worshippers believe she was one of the first born after Drakormir.

Prior to 370, Epressa and Liadain only had several texts from various ages describing colossal beings that used to roam the world. Some of these beings were described as gods. Stories vary, yet several sources describe them being cast underground. Tales of a dragon more massive than even Great Dragons are archived across the world.

In Thagretis, Neha is mentioned extensively in their holy texts as Drakormir's Consort. Neha is described to be more active than Drakormir in going to foreign lands to subdue non-believers. Several shrines of Neha exist in Thagretis due to her importance to the Dragon-God.

The Draconic Order texts do not go into detail on how and when Drakormir and Neha disappeared. They say that their dragon god left to defend against foreign threats.

On the night that a once in several millennia alignment of the planets and moons occurred, the ground quaked at Bhathairk. Hordes of thralls rushed into the Undercity. Beneath them was Neha, still buried and with a single dragon egg.

The Black Death, the Jaws of Hell, the Deathbringer - all have been nicknames attributed to the Elder Dragon in the past. Her dark personality and love of destruction with her twisted use of her creation magic, combined with her fearsome appearance cut her as a figure of nightmares. She has a sharp tongue which she uses often to insult and degrade and her extreme intelligence makes her have little patience for those she does not consider to be her while.

Neha see's anything but dragons as far beneath her and would rather see them turned into her pets than grovel in the way they do to her beloved.

These personality traits were mentioned in the Draconic Order's holy texts as Neha being disinterested in mortal affairs. As a result, Drakormir is seen as the primary god in their religion.

Whether motherhood has softened her at all seems yet to be seen.

Like all dragons, Neha possesses the ability to fly and breathe a fire so terrible that not much can withstand the blaze. Her scales are incredibly tough and require the metal forged in her kins breath to pierce it true enough to kill her. She had one small spot on the underside of her right foreleg that is missing a collection of three scales and is her weakest point.

Neha has mastered several languages over the years and though she does possess the ability to speak she prefers to do so via the mind in order to best read a persons true intentions. Her voice is said to paralyse and cause even the most wizened of warriors to turn tale and flee.

Neha's main talents lie in the art of creation. When she was a younger dragon and lived in the height of her peoples time she often used this gift to create lands of her own in which to play, known today as the Ixchel Wilds. As she grew older and tainted towards the mortals who destroyed her creations so too did her magic grow twisted and she began to use it to create things that would disrupt and destroy their lives instead.

(OOC: to be hidden until revealed/discovered)
Like Drakormir, Neha is susceptible to blood magic. One may exploit the blood from a small wound on the dragon to make it escalate to a much more severe one. In addition, utilizing blood magic with the blood of those from Thagretis as the price proves highly effective against the dragon.

Neha's other weakness currently her egg. She will go to all lengths to see it is protected.
