Nameless One

Overview
The first dracolich, and one of the first dragons to study wizardry and analyze magic academically instead of allowing sorcery to flow naturally from the body. Shunned for his terrible crimes for centuries, he was the first to be stripped of his names for taboo acts and thus removed from memory. He earned his place in the pantheon of the dragonborn when he organized them in an act of rebellion that helped topple the Second Dwarven Republic, inadvertently helping the Company of Conquest destroy the dwarven empire.

Appearance
The Nameless One is a terrible monster. His soul inhabits the decayed body of his sister Helyssia, forever preserved in that state by his foul magics. When he speaks, a male and female voice work in tandem to deliver his words. Empty eye sockets stare out from a head only half covered in scales. Patches of torn scales reveal bone or rotting flesh where Helyssia's corpse had been eaten away by rot and insects before he succeeded in possessing it and leaving his own crippled and even frailer form.

Divine Mission
The Nameless One pursues arcane knowledge at any cost. The magic of the world is full of mystery and things that don't make sense, and he seeks to comprehend and understand it all, no matter the cost.

Typical Followers
Those who share his mad and eccentric dream—especially those who reject consequences as he does—are welcome in his service. Alchemists, necromancers, experimenters, and inventors are all welcome under his umbrella, as are arcanists who delve the maddest and most terrible secrets of magic.

Afterlife
Consigned by the other dragonborn gods to a frigid and miserable section of the Expanse, the Nameless One makes his home in a collection of caves and tunnels where he and his mad followers are free to work on any projects of their choosing. Making deals with the evil beings of the Abyss is far from uncommon, and the skies around Ykaan are clouded with the pollution of arcane smoke. Glowing ashes fall like snow here, rendering it dangerous to all who approach.

Religion
Few dare to openly worship the nameless one. Cults led by dragonborn and populated by members of other races operate in secret to unlock hidden pieces of knowledge, forbidden lore and lost magicks sealed away or destroyed by the ancients for good reason. They experiment upon the body, the mind, the humours, and the soul, and some of the most terrible freaks of nature that roam the Cosmic Disk have come from them.

Magic Properties
Wisps of multicolored arcane form the Nameless One's insidious, secretive magic, slithering through the air on its way to its destination.
