# Zanthyra _Blue Dracolich | [[Cult of the Dragon]] | [[Well of Dragons]]_ ## Summary A proud blue dracolich who serves as [[Kaela Voortham]]'s mount and arcane partner. The heroes fought and defeated her during their aerial battle at [[Shilrua]], where she had been corrupted and controlled by the [[Cacophony]]. Now reformed at the [[Well of Dragons]]. %% ## At a Glance Massive dracolich with deep ocean to midnight sky scales webbed with blue-white necrotic energy. Adorned with platinum chains and magical jewelry—she incorporates interesting magical trinkets into her decorative chains. Resonant, echoing voice with harmonic and discordant undertones. Tilts head like bird of prey when evaluating. Punctuates statements with electrical discharges. Calculating, vindictive, surprisingly intellectual, refined tastes. ## Personality Her partnership with [[Kaela Voortham]] is genuine—more equal than typical cult relationships. When the Silver Wardens of Cormyr nearly killed her during a vulnerable molting period, Kaela found her dying and offered dracolich transformation. Zanthyra accepted while negotiating unusual autonomy. Secretly seeks ways to reverse her dracolich transformation. Psychic domination by the Cacophony may have affected her research and partnership. Has already eliminated the Silver Wardens in revenge. ## Quote _"Power that cannot adapt is power destined to fade. I chose undeath because survival demands transformation."_ ## Background Once ruled the Stormhorn Mountains with a refined hoard of magical artifacts and scholarly works.
