“Perish, unworthy one. I may no longer rule the high elven cities of Man-dalya and Vayavinda, but I do not tolerate disobedience. Your bones shall serve me far better.”
Mere mention of her chills the blood of the wise. No other name generates as much fear in as many different cultures as does this sorceress with an elven shape. Pyrdacor the Ancient Dragon created this bringer of disaster who is known to the elven tribes as Bhardona (Isdira: Bringer of Desire). To this day, elves everywhere curse her name and hold her responsible for the fall of the high elves. So despised is she that the firnelves of the Eternal Ice commit their entire existence to the fight against her work.
Believed to be more than 5,000 years old, she is the creator of countless chimeras, primarily glacier worms, harpies, and the eponymous lampreys of Nine-Eye Lake). Rumor has it that Pardona is the favorite servant of the Nameless One, and as such directs all of her efforts to bringing about the return of the fallen god.
Defeated by an alliance of dragons a few years ago, Pardona fled to Gyldenland, where she awaits the return of her former strength. Until then, her most heinous creations, the night elves or shakagra, carry out her will in Aventuria’s Far North.
Voice of the People
+ “Our Lady will return. Until then, her cities will thrive in secret. No path will reveal their locations.”
− “The mother of night elves will fall, as will all of her abominations. Their very existence is an insult to the world.”
