Lenassu Dras'ee, a Minâth Vith'kirr, was born on 29 Bloom 951. The Minâth Vith'kirr individual experienced a nativity on the twenty-ninth day of the Bloom season in the year 951.
In 970, at the tender age of 19, she cultivated a network of spies and assassins designated the Kamrazîr. This clandestine guild dutifully advanced her agenda and that of the First Khazarkar Empire, emerging as one of the earliest organizations to carry out state-sanctioned assassinations.
In 974, Lenassu ascended to the throne, becoming Queen Dras'ee of the First Khazarkar Empire. Her Kamrazîr were instrumental in her accession. She eliminated potential contenders, skillfully deflecting culpability onto other rivals. These adversaries, paralyzed by trepidation, dared not press charges against her. They resorted to the empire's customary power machinations, scheming to seize the ideal moment to depose their new sovereign.
In the year 975, she enacted the Khazarkar Purity Edict. Lenassu reigned until the Eldritch Conclave seized power in 993. With the Khazarkar Empire's new leaders purging the old guard, she fled by ship, crossing the Pearl Sea to the Aerie of Dragons. In this region, she preached the word of Kebechet, eventually joining a mercenary army under a former Dragon Lord named Hegmento. After murdering him in 1031, she assumed the title Dragon Lord of Zomaar Yelvaad. She ruled for 92 years, revitalizing this decrepit city-state. Considered compassionate at times, she narrowly escaped several assassination attempts. Believing her position to be tenuous, in 1123 she relinquished her title, moving west to Paradomea where she delved deeper into necromancy.
In the year 1457, while residing at Bana-Zîr on a distant world, she diligently pursued her studies under the tutelage of Archmage Razzir. However, this idyllic setting was disrupted when the enclave was raided by a group of adventurers known as Black Banner. She ultimately joined their party, accompanying them back to Bal-Kriav.
In the Black Tide War ( 1465 - 1486 ) , she participated in a minor role. Becoming envious, she posed a threat to the organization when, in 1503, the Black Tide leader Katrana married a former Black Tide leader named Raxcvillibus Dumu-loc. It is reported that Lenassu confronted Katrana and spat in her face.
...a Tragaran and a Minâth forming a union? This is an offense and desecration to the racial integrity of all Khazarkars!
Lenassu, alluding to the Khazarkar Purity Edict - "Impure Bonding"
Lenassu ventured far north into the wilds of Grashakh, accompanied by a Minâth Protector named Crick. In Grashakh, she established a base at Spirit Crypt, where she became embroiled in the affairs of Dumugon and the Orchish Empire. At Spirit Crypt, Lenassu also conspired against the Khazarkar Empire, scheming with the Malbazân in their quest to overthrow the empire's theocratic rule.
On 17 Saunas 1515, now 561 years old and nearing the end of her Vith'kirr lifespan, she relinquished her mortality, becoming a lich. This perilous process led her to seek the assistance of the Council of Nine. The individual who facilitated her embrace of immortality was the Syndic Hidrist, who was eager to help. He attributed the Gulimbor Cataclysm ( 996 - 1203 ) and the wars that compelled the Tragarans to abandon their homeland for the southern coasts of Hells Womb and the Lands of Purity to the Khazarkar Empire. Hidrist is said to have informed Lenassu that as a mortal, she lacked the time to restore the rule of the Minâth-Nôrî, but as a lich, like him, she would have an eternity to plan and execute this objective.
Impatient, she wasted little time in planning. In 1517, she led an army against the Khazarkar Empire. This conflict, known as Dras'ee's War ( 1517 - 1519 ) , failed to bring about government change. Captured, in 1519 she was sentenced; owing to her family lineage and other factors, she escaped execution. Instead, the Pharzîmrâth exiled her to a lunar prison called Ink Hold. Her sentence was three centuries, from 1519 to 1819.
In 1585, following her triumph over the undead lords, she ascended to the throne of Ink Hold, claiming the distinguished title of Queen of Ink Hold.
The initial Death Ball uncovered and documented was the one situated at the heart of the lunar body Deaths Kindle. This Death Ball was discovered in 1713 by a crew of ghast explorers under the command of Lenassu. It remained concealed for three decades, ultimately divulged when a trader-spy visiting Ink Hold learned of its existence in one of Ink Hold's notorious necrophilia establishments.
After her sentence concluded on 1 Temporal 1819, she was at liberty to depart Ink Hold. She elected to remain in this locale where she schemes the restoration of Khazarkar dominion by the Malbazân.
When she was mortal, Lenassu was a remarkably alluring woman. Endowed with a statuesque height of 6 feet, her complexion was a captivating light purple, complemented by reddish-brown hair and hazel eyes. Her physique was athletic in build, and she maintained a perpetual youthfulness, appearing no more than 20 years of age, a consequence of her Vith'kirr heritage.
She has a tendency to hum and sing, even in the most inopportune moments. Sharp-tongued and ill-tempered in life, her undead state has only exacerbated these traits.
