Here we see the humanoid form of Malheirirra the Master, an ancient black dragoness that created and lead the lauth ( the dragon equivalent of a monastery, albeit still slightly to the left ) that trained Yzare into what she is. The lauth itself only consisted of herself, a fang dragon by the name of Gholix, and eventually Yzare. Malheirirra was Yzare's mentor, her 'mother,' and her first victim -- followed shortly by Gholix.

While a particularly cruel individual, the fact that she's Yzare's first real guiding hand is why she's chosen to be Yzare's dream guardian. The fact that the dragoness is very, very dead is a fact that escapes memory until well after the Emperor reveals himself.

#live each day as if it were your last because I'm going to kill you but I'm not super good with schedules // Yzare headcanon.#I was half tempted to make her a muse tbh but I just #I can't be fucking bothered #so the tl;dr of her is that she found Yzare as a wyrmling and opts to mentor / raise her rather than devour her #but also like. she's the poster child of the whole 'black dragons are the most cruel of chromatic dragons'#so like..... if anything she was really just setting Yzare up for Bhaal #which as an aside I'm sort of tweaking Yzare's history a touch #in that she was actually loyal to Bhaal once upon a time #even despite having a v real ambitious streak that sort of started earning her a v real following among his cultists #but feeling abandoned and discarded after Orin attacked her snapped any feelings of love or loyalty #bc to be fair she was basically a wild animal during her ''''''recovery'''''' period #and a hand that beats and demands but does not feed is one that gets swiftly and violently bitten off #and sometimes. SOMETIMES. when you raise someone to be a sacrificial lamb they wise up before the altar comes into sight
