Zaelyth (zay · lith)

Written by DMJustJace

Zaelyth the Fungal Dragon - God of Spores is a demi-god in the Neptaverse. It brings terror and malady wherever it may go; rot and despair follow in its wake. Its cultists vary from the willing servants who spread its curses to host bodies retained by the spore deity's creations.

It was a union between Rianda and Vorpol in a ritual performed by Trelalor that created the egg from which this dragon was born. The Eyes of the Spider cult quickly hid the egg within the Umbrak away from the eyes of the Ordo's agents. It is here where it was unleashed as a weapon against the Mycoknights.
After the Purge of the Umbrak, and its apparent defeat, Zaelyth fled and hid out in the furthest reaches at the border of the Void. It is here where Rianda's Myco Empire and the Fungal Queen have enforced the barriers of its prison.
Zaelyth is unsatisfied with its confinement and is constantly testing the seals between the planes. Fate sees Lawthyre thwarting its attempts to cross to the into the Mater as the gates are held by his vigilant blockade. Under the current established wards and seals, the Great Vine Sea does not allow any of Zaelyth’s followers safe passage, and they all remain trapped... for now.

The Fungal Queen, ruler of Rianda's Myco Empire, asleep atop the Spore Throne, on a mound of rusted treasures she lay waiting her beckoning;
Zaelyth's friciton stirring a mixture that will finally see the strands of the weave ferment to its taste and sway her loyalty away from the Goddess of Nature.
