Gods of Ithia: Mastavix the Nightshade.

Mastavix. Demi-Goddess of Comic Deaths, Slapstick, Humorously named Toxins, and Dark Humor. 

Known as Mastavix, The Nightshade, The Black Mask, The Slapstick, The Vile Smile, and The Laugh of Death.  

Mastavix, first of the Drei’Lo’Chi, has scales of a black overcast night; they seem to hold swirls of distant clouds blocking out the moons’ light. Speckles like stars cover her head like freckles on a mammal. She wears a crown of candles, melting wax, and skulls in mock laughter. She is one of the smallest of the Drei’Lo’Chi but maintains her leadership regardless. She often takes the form of a beautiful elven maiden in faux noble clothes, and her face is stained in makeup like a jester.  

The Nightshade leads with unmatched cunning, limited ability of seer-sight, vicious determination, and unyielding stubbornness. While lacking the physical dominance of most of the dragons, she simply outcrazies her siblings into submission. She is a cunning leader and lives among the Black Elf lands, serving as a protective warden against the White Elves and Dragons. She leads the Black Elves and Dragons as their great and terrible queen.
